Why TLDraw Didn't Become Lovable or Bolt

Steve Ruiz, founder of TLDraw, shares the untold story behind Make Real — one of the first tools that let people sketch a UI and watch AI turn it into working code. Built in 2023 when GPT-4 Vision had just launched, it predated Lovable, Bolt, and the entire vibe coding movement.
So why didn't TLDraw become the next billion-dollar AI app builder?

In this clip, Steve explains the API constraints that forced users to bring their own OpenAI keys, why only 20% of visitors could actually use Make Real, and how the viral Twitter enthusiasm got fragmented because of it. It's a candid look at being too early, the technical limitations of the moment, and why he chose to keep building infrastructure instead of chasing the product wave.
Watch the full conversation for Steve's deep dive into canvas as the next UI paradigm, AI fairy agents, and TLDraw Computer.
