Describe the website you want, and an AI agent builds, publishes, and runs it
Describe the site you want and Cactal's agent builds and publishes it. Ask for ten homepage variants at once and keep the strongest, or point at any element and say what to change.
Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, or your own app can drive Cactal through an MCP server, a full API, and an SDK — included even on the free plan.
Managed hosting, custom domains, SSL, and a global edge network are built in, so there is no server management or plugin upgrading to worry about.
A headless CMS lets clients edit content without touching the site, and forms capture enquiries with spam filtering and email delivery included.
Describe an app in chat and ship it
Describe your product in natural language and AI agents produce a functioning app rather than snippets or mockups.
Frontend and backend are generated together, so apps have real logic, data handling, and connectivity, not just UI.
Generated apps are deployed to a live URL right away, so you can share and test without setting up infrastructure.
The output is a standard codebase you can download, edit, and move into your own toolchain or repository.
