The Problem

Hosted builders own your data and the result.

Other website builders keep your content and infrastructure on their platform, and gate features by plan. You build on their terms — and you never truly own what you ship.

PROBLEM 01

Zero Sovereignty

Your content and infrastructure live on someone else's servers — not yours. Export it? Good luck.

PROBLEM 02

Feature Paywalls

Core capabilities are paywalled behind plan tiers you don't control. Need a feature? Upgrade. Again.

PROBLEM 03

Vendor Lock-in

You build on their terms — and never truly own what you ship. They can shut you down anytime.

Ownership by Design

Own everything you build

01

Own your data

Bring your own database - Postgres, SQLite, or any supported storage. All website content, registered users, and actions live in your database. ChaiBuilder has no access to any of it.

02

Own your infrastructure

ChaiBuilder is delivered as code you deploy on your own stack. You host it, you run it - there is no vendor-hosted runtime for your site.

03

No feature tiers

Every license unlocks the entire product. Plans differ by domains and branding, never by features. There are no feature flags and nothing to upgrade into.

Ownership isn't a plan tier or an add-on here - it's the architecture.

Dual Audience Power

Developers build it.
Editors run it.

A unified workflow that bridges the gap between engineering control and content velocity.

01

For developers

It is a developer-first plugin in your Next.js app. Override pages and routing, add custom blocks and panels, plug in Payload collections, or swap the CMS entirely. You get full flexibility with absolutely no closed black boxes.

02

For editors

Empower your team with role-based visual editing. Build, refine, and publish high-converting pages with zero reliance on engineering, while staying perfectly locked into your design system constraints.

AI assistant

Edit by chat.
No coding required.

An in-builder chat panel that edits content, creates and edits sections, and helps with SEO and theming — all in plain language.

From one command to published, in four steps

  1. 1

    Create your project

    Run npx chaibuilder-app create

    The CLI scaffolds a Next.js + Payload CMS project with chaipro set up and walks you through configuration - database, environment, the works.

  2. 2

    Deploy to your server

    Your hosting, your database. The 30-day trial starts when you deploy - no credit card, no email.

  3. 3

    Build visually

    Create pages, sections, and content on the visual canvas, with the AI assistant alongside.

  4. 4

    Publish in one click

    Changes go live in a single action.

Pages render with SSG + ISR - each page is built on its first visit, cached, and automatically revalidated when you publish.
