A huge congratulations to Maria Presley and Line Hjartarson for winning Lovable's SheBuilds competition.

Maria and Line took home the Season 2 prize after building Get To Give with us over the course of the 48-hour buildathon.

Maria's idea, combined with (SmplCo board chair) Line's coding expertise, and our MD Andreas Melvær's UX and UI magic, blew the judges away.

'I joined SheBuilds with an idea shaped by a very human frustration: wanting to give kids something meaningful — and feeling stuck with “more stuff",' Maria explains.

In 48 hours, surrounded by 200+ inspiring women, that idea became something tangible.

It was also validated. In just two days Maria had the tools to confirm:

  • parents want alternatives to consumer-driven gifting

  • kids are capable of understanding generosity

  • women build some of the most thoughtful, impactful tech when given the space

Andreas said the win reaffirmed SmplCo's place at the forefront of AI-assisted development that actually works.

It comes after SmplCo was recognised by Figma as a global exemplar of AI-assisted coding by Figma, alongside another client, Saddle.

"This all goes to show how our little team is operating at the global forefront of these emerging technologies at the highest level," says Andreas.

If you have any questions on how we go about AI assisted coding, the benefits and the pitfalls, drop us a line, or send Andreas a message on andreas@smpl.as.
