Bring your own AI agent
Connect Macaly Cloud to Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok Bot and continue describing requirements in the agent conversation rather than switching to a separate builder interface.
Macaly Cloud
Macaly Cloud gives Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok Bot hosting, databases, previews, authentication, and other infrastructure for building and publishing websites and web apps from a conversation. It is suited to users who want an AI agent to handle code while they use a managed platform for deployment and project services.
Overview
Macaly Cloud is a hosted development platform that gives Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok Bot infrastructure for creating and publishing web apps and websites. A user connects an agent, describes the desired project in chat, and the agent writes the code while Macaly Cloud supplies hosting, previews, a database, authentication options, and related skills.
The documented stack includes React and Next.js with a managed Postgres database. Projects can be published on a macaly.app address, while custom domains are supported through applicable paid options. Macaly states that projects and data are hosted in Frankfurt and Ireland, with source code and data available for export.
Key features
Managed database
The agent can create and connect a managed Postgres database when the project needs persistent data, with database usage limits determined by the applicable plan.
Previews and hosting
Each change can produce a preview link, and a publish instruction puts the project online at a macaly.app address. Custom domains are available through paid plan options or domain connection.
Built-in authentication
Projects can include Google sign-in, email authentication, or one-time codes without requiring the builder to implement the authentication flow from scratch.
SEO and analytics
Macaly projects support metadata, server-side rendering, and favicons for indexable pages. Higher-tier pricing information also lists SEO optimization and analytics capabilities.
Agent skills and integrations
The platform lists more than 70 additional skills, including email, analytics, payments, voice, web search, image generation, AI-powered apps, and integrations such as WhatsApp and Telegram, with availability varying by plan.
Use cases
Launch a marketing site
Describe a landing page, campaign site, or small interactive web experience in an AI chat, then preview revisions and publish it without separately configuring a hosting service.
Prototype a data-backed app
Specify the screens, data fields, and user flow for a lightweight web application. The agent can wire the project to a managed database and add authentication options where required.
Add AI features to a web app
Build an AI-enabled product that uses capabilities such as chat, summaries, image or video generation, or voice without setting up a separate API key for each listed capability.
Deliver client websites
Create a client project on the web stack and publish it to a macaly.app address or connected custom domain. Agencies needing separate workspaces, billing, or client permissions can use the higher-tier Agency offering listed on the pricing page.
Extend an existing project
Use the connected agent to extend an existing project with email, analytics, payments, search, or messaging integrations when the relevant skill and plan are available.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Works inside Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok Bot instead of requiring a separate AI subscription and builder workflow.
- Combines app hosting, previews, a managed database, authentication, and deployment in one service.
- Provides a macaly.app address and supports export of project source code and data.
- Includes European hosting and states that customer content is not used to train AI models.
Cons
- The workflow depends on the capabilities and output of the connected AI agent; Macaly Cloud supplies infrastructure rather than replacing that agent.
- Usage limits, available skills, custom domains, and additional database or API capacity vary by plan.
- A custom domain is not included as a free domain; users must purchase one or connect an existing domain.
FAQ
How does Macaly Cloud work?
Macaly Cloud connects to Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok Bot. After signing in, you describe the app or website you want in the agent conversation, and the agent builds it, connects the database when needed, and can publish it online.
