A tour of the app

Describe it, start blank, clone a design, or bring an existing site.
- Blocks or Elementor (BuildPress builder on paid plans)
- Import from LocalWP, Studio or a backup
- PHP and MySQL bundled, nothing to install

- Runs on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan
- BuildPress never sees your login
- Pick the model and effort per thread
03 · Preview
It sees what you see
The real site runs beside the chat, so your agent checks its own work.

- Console and network at hand
- Point at any element to comment
