Lovart Launches AI Design Agent to Revolutionize Creative Workflows
San Francisco-based startup Lovart has debuted its all-in-one “AI Design Agent,” designed to streamline the creative process from ideation to execution. Founded by Melvin Chen, a former senior product director at ByteDance, Lovart replaces traditional design tools and agency workflows with an AI-native platform capable of generating complete brand campaigns in minutes using just a text prompt.
The platform delivers assets such as brand identity systems, UI mockups, video content, and packaging designs, all compatible with industry-standard software like Figma, Photoshop, and After Effects. “Every startup hits the same wall: you have the product vision, but translating that into professional creative assets requires a full agency or months of DIY work,” said Chen. “We’re essentially democratizing access to enterprise-level creative capabilities.”
Innovation Through Creative Reasoning
Central to Lovart’s approach is its proprietary reasoning engine, MCoT (Mind Chain of Thought), which emulates the strategic thinking of creative directors. Unlike traditional AI tools focused on aesthetics, MCoT considers business goals, target demographics, and branding guidelines to ensure the output is both creative and contextually aligned.
The multi-agent architecture assigns specific creative tasks—like typography, motion graphics, or layout—to specialized AI agents that work in tandem, coordinated by a context synchronization layer. This ensures all assets remain cohesive and true to the overarching brand narrative.
Context-Aware Canvas
Lovart introduces “canvas as context,” an infinite workspace that tracks all elements in real time. Unlike conventional design tools that treat assets independently, this canvas understands relationships between elements. Whether you're iterating on a logo or designing packaging, the AI incorporates surrounding brand materials to make intelligent, on-brand suggestions without user prompts.
“Traditional design tools treat each asset in isolation,” Chen noted. “Our canvas understands the relationship between every element.”
From Strategy to Execution
Lovart’s “strategy-to-pixel” automation begins with a strategic analysis—assessing market fit, competitor landscape, and audience insights—before translating those findings into concrete design tasks. “Most design tools focus on execution — make this logo bigger, change this color,” said Chen. “We start with the why… Then we automatically translate that strategic framework into tactical design decisions.”
The platform continuously learns from user input. Uploaded brand guidelines, references, or sketches are categorized and stored for future use. Lovart builds both campaign-specific short-term memory and long-term memory that evolves with the user’s brand identity and aesthetic.
“If you upload a color palette for your startup’s brand, Lovart doesn’t just store it. It understands the emotional tone, the market positioning it implies, and automatically applies those insights to future projects,” Chen explained.
Viral Momentum and Community Growth
Lovart launched its invite-only beta in late May. Following a viral AI-generated coffee chain brand campaign that garnered over 1 million views, the platform attracted a 100,000-user waitlist across 70+ countries in just five days. That number has since ballooned to over 800,000 users—all acquired through referrals and social buzz.
Its Discord community features “Agent Battles,” where users pit human designs against AI-generated alternatives in real-time challenges. Early adopters include startups from Y Combinator and other growth-stage firms.
“It’s helped us create stronger creative briefs and iterate faster on campaign concepts,” said Pius Binder, founder of Subscribe.fyi and former growth lead at Meta and Canva. “The infinite canvas interface feels familiar but the AI capabilities are genuinely next-level.”
Competitive Landscape
Though funding details remain undisclosed, Lovart is backed by notable investors. Founder Melvin Chen brings prior experience in scaling AI-powered creative tools to hundreds of millions of users.
While competitors like Canva, Adobe, Runway AI, and Figma offer AI features, Lovart differentiates itself through its comprehensive, strategy-to-delivery automation. Most rivals target niche verticals or execution-only tasks, whereas Lovart handles entire brand campaigns within one system.
Redefining the Creative Team
Lovart represents a shift toward AI agents that can manage complex, multi-step creative workflows. By condensing the output of entire design teams into one platform, the startup aims to make high-quality branding accessible to all.
“We’re not trying to replace human creativity,” Chen said. “We’re building the infrastructure that lets one creative person do the work of an entire agency. In five years, every creative team will have an AI teammate.”
Lovart is now publicly available at lovart.ai with free Starter, Basic, and Pro subscription tiers.
