What is Macaly?

Macaly lets you build a website or web app by chatting with an AI agent. It takes care of hosting, a database, logins, forms and cookie-free analytics, so you can publish to a free Macaly address or your own domain without setting anything up. Payments work through Stripe, and it connects to Google Sheets, Notion and GitHub.

It has handy shortcuts, such as turning a PDF, an Airbnb listing or a Google Maps link into a website. You can also build from inside ChatGPT or Claude with Macaly Cloud, or from a WhatsApp or Telegram chat. After every publish it runs an SEO audit, and before you publish it checks the project for exposed keys and data anyone could read.
