Lovable just backed a company that’s looking to bring vibe coding to hardware

Lovable 投资了一家致力于将“氛围编程”（vibe coding）引入硬件领域的公司

Lovable, the AI-powered app-building platform, has backed a Danish hardware startup, Atech, that wants to introduce “vibe coding” to the process of creating hardware. Lovable 是一家人工智能驱动的应用构建平台，近日投资了一家名为 Atech 的丹麦硬件初创公司。该公司旨在将“氛围编程”（vibe coding）引入硬件开发流程中。

Lovable was part of an $800,000 pre-seed round that also included a16z’s scout fund, Sequoia Scout Fund, and Nordic Makers. Lovable 参与了该公司 80 万美元的种子轮前融资，其他投资者还包括 a16z 的星探基金（scout fund）、红杉星探基金（Sequoia Scout Fund）以及 Nordic Makers。

In a chat with TechCrunch, Atech’s head of customer experience, Gustav Hugod, said the platform’s workings are quite simple. Users buy a starter hardware kit for whatever they are trying to build from Atech’s site. Then, they open a tab at the site, talk to an AI chatbot, describe the hardware concept they’re trying to build, and the AI tool generates code that helps them build a working prototype. 在与 TechCrunch 的交流中，Atech 的客户体验主管 Gustav Hugod 表示，该平台的操作非常简单。用户只需从 Atech 网站购买他们想要构建项目的入门硬件套件，然后在网站上打开一个标签页，与 AI 聊天机器人对话，描述他们想要构建的硬件概念，AI 工具便会生成代码，帮助他们制作出可运行的原型。

Hugod said the company’s user base is pretty broad right now, “from four-year-olds building cars to a hydrogen synthesis plant that needs precise voltage sensing.” Hugod 表示，目前公司的用户群非常广泛，“从制作汽车的四岁儿童，到需要精确电压传感的氢合成工厂，应有尽有。”

Typically, building any type of hardware prototype requires decades of experience or finding pricy but talented engineers. But Hugod said that as the “accessibility gap of software has collapsed,” so will the difficulty of building in the hardware space. “Hardware, in a democratized world, has to be available to everyone,” he said. 通常情况下，构建任何类型的硬件原型都需要数十年的经验，或者聘请昂贵但有才华的工程师。但 Hugod 认为，随着“软件可访问性差距的消失”，硬件领域的构建难度也将随之降低。他说：“在一个民主化的世界里，硬件必须对每个人开放。”

The new capital will be used for research and development, marketing, and hiring. 这笔新资金将用于研发、市场营销和人才招聘。
