An AI business-building platform: users describe a business in text, and AI handles research, branding, the website, app backend, forms, email, and analytics. The paid Growth Engine also keeps running content, marketing, customer support, and other routine tasks according to a plan the user approves. Payments go through Stripe Connect and the platform takes no cut.

- Product
- An AI business-building platform: users describe a business in text, and AI handles research, branding, the website, app backend, forms, email, and analytics. The paid Growth Engine also keeps running content, marketing, customer support, and other routine tasks according to a plan the user approves. Payments go through Stripe Connect and the platform takes no cut.
- Users
- Entrepreneurs, side-hustlers, and solo companies who want to run an online business alone with AI, including consultants and agencies who run businesses for clients
- Positioning
- It does more than generate websites (competing with Base44, Lovable, Bolt): AI agents keep running the business afterwards. It explicitly positions against Polsia (which takes a 20% fee), distinguishing itself with fixed monthly plans and zero platform fee on Stripe Connect.
