GPT Engineer (now Lovable's sister product and open-source project) lets you describe a software project in natural language and watch it generate a complete, working codebase — all files, structure, and logic — from scratch. It was one of the first demonstrations that LLMs could produce entire applications rather than just snippets, and the open-source version has become a popular starting point for developers building their own AI coding pipelines. Useful for rapid prototyping when you need a structural scaffold rather than incremental edits.
