AI app builder. Backend included.
Sign-ins, payments, file uploads, scheduled work, an admin dashboard. Start with a GitHub account and an AI key; build with a hosted live preview. Add your own hosting when you're ready to go live.
Free for 3 days. No credit card required to start.
Survey Studio
DraftNo messages yet. Describe what you want to build and the agent will work in your repository.
You're watching a scripted demo
Every prompt, click, and deploy in this card is on a loop. Sign up with GitHub to build something real. The agent writes the code, ships it to your repo, and deploys to your DigitalOcean account.

A scripted walkthrough of the product. Real builds can take longer, and the live experience continues to evolve.
More than a prompt-and-pray demo.
A real backend means real apps. Some pieces you flip on when you create the project: storage, scheduled work, background tasks. The rest the AI wires up as you ask for it.
Real user accounts
Sign-up, sign-in, password resets, two-factor, role-based access. People log in to your app like any other site.
Take payments
Stripe and PayPal, subscriptions or one-off charges. Money lands in your account.
Files, photos, documents
Users upload, you store, you serve. Image resizing built in. Storage you turn on when you create the project.
An admin dashboard
A control panel for you and your staff. Edit records, generate PDFs and Excel exports, see live charts.
Scheduled work, on autopilot
Daily emails, weekly reports, hourly imports. Flip it on at creation, never think about it again.
Heavy lifting in the background
Sending emails, generating PDFs, processing uploads. None of it slows down the user.
Two to start. One more when you go live.
GitHub and an AI key are all you need to start building. Add DigitalOcean when you're ready to launch your app to the world.
GitHub and an AI key.
Two accounts to start. Your code lives in GitHub, the AI you pick does the building. Add DigitalOcean later, only when you're ready to go live.
Build from any browser.
Open it on your laptop, your phone, or a tablet at the beach. Nothing to download, nothing to set up. One sentence is enough. Ask for changes anytime.
Your app goes live, twice.
From the first AI change, you get a working live preview you can open and share. When you're ready to go for real, the same code launches to managed hosting in your own DigitalOcean. The server runs itself, errors get caught and fixed before you see them.
Your app keeps itself running.
The AI doesn't hand you a codebase and walk away. It watches every build, every deploy, and every crash, and corrects itself.
Errors fix themselves.
When the build fails, the deploy errors out, or the running app crashes, the AI sees the exact error, figures out the cause, and ships a fix. Usually before you noticed.
Spot a bug? One click sends it back.
When something looks wrong, press Fix and the AI gets the full picture: what you saw, what the logs say, what it just changed. No bug report to write.
Warned before problems land.
Every change is scanned for common security mistakes - leaked keys, unsafe inputs, bad permissions. You get a plain-English warning before the code goes live.
The builder you own, not rent.
Prompt-to-app tools get you to a demo. MakerLoft gets you to a real, portable product.
Based on publicly documented features as of spring 2026. Verify against each vendor's current docs.
Boring tech. Portable outcomes.
Every layer is what a senior engineer would pick for a real production app. Nothing gimmicky, nothing locked in.
Model-agnostic coding agents
Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Bring your own API key; ride every upstream improvement.
Laravel 13
Migrations, auth, queues, Eloquent. A real codebase your team can read, fork, and extend.
Your GitHub
Every project lives as a repo in your account. MakerLoft commits changes each turn; you branch, fork, or walk away.
Shared sandbox previews
Every project gets a live preview URL the moment the AI ships its first change. We host it for you on a shared sandbox so you can play and share - no setup. Reset or pause it anytime.
DigitalOcean App Platform
Fully managed. Auto-deploys on push, automatic HTTPS, no server to admin. Billed directly to your account at DO prices.
Managed MySQL
A real database per environment, with backups managed by DigitalOcean.
Pay per seat. Your keys, your bill.
We charge for the orchestration layer. Everything else flows to your own accounts at wholesale.
Solo or team
Cancel anytime. AI and hosting bills go straight to the providers.
- Unlimited projects · as many apps as your own hosting allows
- Any AI, any time · swap the builder mid-project
- Zero lock-in · your code, your GitHub, always
- Self-healing builds · the AI catches and fixes its own errors
- Live preview included · every project gets a hosted preview URL out of the box
Two to start. One more when you go live.
Questions we get in beta.
I'm not a developer. Will I actually be able to use this?
Yes. That's the whole point. If you can describe what you want, we handle the rest. You chat; we write, test, and deploy the app to a real address on the internet.
What do I need to get started?
A GitHub account and an AI key. That's it. Every project gets a hosted live preview the moment the AI ships its first change, so you can build, share a link, and try things without ever signing up for hosting. When you're ready to launch your app to the world, you connect a DigitalOcean account and we ship the same code to your own managed server.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing to download, nothing to set up. Build from your laptop, your phone, or a tablet wherever you are. If your laptop dies, sign in from another browser and your project is still there - the code lives in your GitHub, and once you've launched, the app runs in your own DigitalOcean.
What happens when something breaks?
The AI watches every build, every deploy, and every crash. When it sees an error, it reads the actual error message, figures out the cause, and pushes a fix on its own. When you spot something, one click sends it back for another pass.
Can I see my app before I set up hosting?
Yes. Every project gets a temporary live preview as soon as the AI starts building, hosted for you on a shared sandbox so you can play with the app and share a link without setting up DigitalOcean yet. The preview rebuilds after every change and stays up for a few days at a time. We send one text message to confirm a real person the first time you turn it on.
What does 'bring your own AI' actually mean?
You pick which AI builds your app. Swap mid-project, or use a different one per environment. You pay the AI provider directly, at their price.
Do I need to manage the server myself?
No. Your app runs on DigitalOcean App Platform - a managed environment that handles deploys, scaling, security updates, and HTTPS for you. You never log into a server, run setup commands, or babysit uptime. Push to GitHub and your app redeploys on its own.
Why my own hosting account instead of yours?
You pay wholesale (no markup), your data lives under your own billing and compliance, and if you ever leave MakerLoft the apps just keep running. The server is still fully managed - you own the account, but DigitalOcean does the admin work.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every new account gets 3 days free with full access to the builder. We don't ask for a credit card to start - you only enter payment details if you want to keep going after the trial ends.
What does a project actually cost to run?
After the 3-day free trial, Solo is $19 a month, or $190 a year (two months free). Team is $29 per user per month, or $290 per user per year. Either way, plus your hosting bill (a basic setup starts around $20 a month) and whatever AI usage you rack up.
Can I take my code with me?
Always. Every project is a normal codebase in your GitHub. No export fees, no paywalled zips, no lock-in.
Can I edit the code by hand?
Absolutely. It's just a repository. Open it in your editor, push changes, and the app redeploys itself.
