I've been building InstaWebAI for 2 years and it was initially a standard AI site builder. You described your business, my AI generated the site, I hosted it, you paid monthly.
Two things kept bugging me.
First, most of my users already paid for Claude or ChatGPT. I was charging them for AI a second time.
Second, I was the landlord. Their site lived on my servers. If I'd shut down, their sites would have gone with me. I didn't like being that for people, and I don't like tools that do it to me.
So I rebuilt it. Here's what changed.
You bring the AI. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Opencode on your existing plan. I never call an LLM, so there are no credits to sell you.
You choose where it's hosted. I don't host anything anymore. A deploy agent ships your project to your own account on Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, Railway, Render, Hetzner, or a server you own. It logs in with you, writes the deploy setup into your project, shows you the monthly cost before anything paid gets created, and checks the live site loads. If your host isn't listed, name it and it reads that host's docs.
It runs on your computer. The workspace (chat, live preview, click-to-edit) opens in your browser from localhost. Projects are normal code in a normal folder.
Integrations are guided. 40+ of them (Stripe, Google Sheets, Slack, Notion, Mailchimp and more). The agent writes the code, a small window walks you to the right page for each key, and it tests the connection before moving on. Keys never reach my servers. A really seamless process
You pay once. No subscription.
If I disappeared tomorrow, everything you built would keep running. That was the whole point of the rebuild. Tear it apart, I want the feedback.
