Niiranen Advisory Oy is now a partner for Lovable, the AI-native app builder that lets non-developers build production-grade apps via natural language prompts.
The program is very new, having crossed 100 launch partners a couple of weeks ago. I got a sneak peek at what the Lovable team is building while attending DynamicsMinds 2026 conference in Slovenia. From there on, it was clear to me that this thing will have a much broader impact that it already has — with 50 million projects built to date.
If you know me as the Power Platform guy, this probably needs some context. Yes, I still am that guy. But Power Apps was the disruptive, no-code “wow” of 2016 — the same way XRM was the wow of 2006. In 2026, I don’t see that same wow in what Microsoft is prioritizing right now (Copilot Studio, mostly). I see it in what an ordinary business user can build with Lovable in an afternoon.
So I partner with Lovable the same way I partner with Microsoft: because I know the strengths and the bottlenecks of each, and I’d rather guide clients through both than pretend only one exists. My honest and grounded opinions are the foundation of what Niiranen Advisory Oy has always done, and what hopefully sets me apart from others.
The first output of this new direction is appbuilder.guide. A small, independent site comparing the three ways to build a business app in 2026: Power Platform, Lovable, or pure vibe-coding with Claude Code. It includes a demo of Lovable’s Microsoft 365 connectors (a SharePoint document browser, built in 15 minutes of prompting). The site is very much work in progress and will change a lot as I build, but you can find the video on YouTube, too.
I’ve shared more of my thoughts on why this shift is too big to miss in my Perspectives newsletter a couple of weeks ago. If you haven’t subscribed yet, you can also read the issue on the web.
More is coming, including an interactive “which route fits your scenario” tool for appbuilder.guide. If you’re weighing Lovable against Power Platform for something in your org, get in touch. That murky middle is exactly what I like to tackle, and help others navigate.
