# camelAI — An AI software engineer that lives on its own computer > camelAI is an AI software engineer with its own persistent computer. It writes real code, connects to 50+ tools, and deploys to a live URL — all from a single conversation. Website: https://camelai.com Sign Up: https://camelai.dev/signup --- ## What is camelAI? camelAI is a coding agent with a persistent computer. You chat with an AI agent that has its own workspace — files, databases, and environment all survive across sessions. You describe what you want, the agent builds it, and you publish it to a live URL. No local setup, no infrastructure to manage, no technical expertise required. camelAI is: - An AI coding agent + Cloudflare + a permanent computer - A model-flexible coding platform for non-technical users, and for technical users who don't want to deal with infrastructure - A platform where the agent builds with real tools: AI models, beautiful UI components, 50+ integrations, image generation, persistent storage, and one-click publishing ## How camelAI is different **Computer-based, not project-based.** Unlike Replit, Bolt, or Lovable, camelAI gives the agent a persistent computer — not just a project sandbox. The agent can work on anything from any thread, access all files and conversations as context, and pick up where it left off. - **Persistence:** Files, databases, and state survive across sessions. This isn't a sandbox that resets. - **Memory and context:** The agent has access to the entire workspace and every conversation. Teammates can collaborate on the same thread. - **Backend by default:** Every project has a real backend from the first iteration — not a frontend you tack a "cloud" offering onto later. - **No cold start:** Deployed on Cloudflare Workers, so apps load instantly. No cold start penalties like other platforms. - **More than websites:** The agent builds websites, notebooks, automations, Slack integrations, email workflows, images, and research — not just web apps. ## Platform Capabilities ### 1. Build AI-powered apps The agent can build apps that themselves use AI. Every project gets a native AI binding via Cloudflare Workers AI and AI Gateway — user code never touches API keys or provider config. The starter template includes Cloudflare's AI chat agent framework with the Vercel AI SDK, so the agent can wire up conversational AI features immediately. ### 2. Production-ready templates Every new project is scaffolded from a production-ready template: React Router 7, Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4, and shadcn/ui — with configurable themes, fonts, and styles. Common libraries (recharts, TanStack Table, date-fns, papaparse) come pre-bundled. ### 3. Beautiful UI out of the box shadcn/ui components library means every app has styled buttons, modals, forms, tables, charts, and layouts from the start. Production-quality interfaces without asking for them. ### 4. A persistent computer Every user gets a persistent workspace — a real Linux environment (Docker + gVisor) with up to 100GB of XFS storage. Files, databases, and project state survive across sessions. Users can browse, edit, upload, and download files through a built-in file manager. ### 5. Cron jobs and autonomous agents The agent can schedule itself on any recurring schedule using standard Unix cron syntax. Each scheduled job runs in its own dedicated thread with full workspace access. Built on Cloudflare Durable Object alarms, so jobs are reliable and survive workspace hibernation. ### 6. One-click publishing Deploy to a live URL at {app-name}--{org}.camelai.app with a single command. Public or private (with authentication). DNS, SSL, secrets injection, and CDN are all handled automatically. ### 7. 50+ integrations Databases: Postgres, MySQL, Snowflake, Supabase, Clickhouse, MongoDB, Redis, BigQuery, and more. SaaS: Notion, Slack, Airtable, HubSpot, Salesforce, Jira, Zendesk, Stripe, Shopify, and more. Dev tools: GitHub, Linear, Sentry, Vercel. Credentials are securely injected as environment variables and automatically synced to all deployed apps. ### 8. Email inbox Every workspace gets its own email address. Send it tasks, get reports back. The agent reads the email, processes it, and replies inline to your email thread. Attachments are extracted and mounted in the workspace. Only workspace members can send to the inbox. ### 9. Image generation Connected to image generation models (Google Gemini via Cloudflare AI Gateway). Generate images and artwork on demand — hero images, marketing assets, product mockups, or generative art features built into apps. ### 10. Agent wallet (experimental) The agent gets a wallet with real stablecoin, enabling autonomous interaction with any software that accepts X402 payments — no user-provided API keys required. --- ## Use Cases ### Web Development Build and deploy full-stack web apps from a single conversation. The agent scaffolds with React Router 7, Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4, and shadcn/ui. Every app gets a real backend from day one — persistent storage, API routes, and database connections included. Example projects: product launch pages, booking pages, feedback forms with live dashboards, AI-powered support chatbots. ### Data Analytics Connect to Postgres, Snowflake, BigQuery, or any database. Ask questions in plain English — get notebooks, dashboards, and shareable reports. No SQL expertise required. Features: direct database connections, beautifully rendered notebooks with syntax-highlighted SQL, interactive charts (recharts), one-click publishing, scheduled reports via cron, and auto-generated SQL across any dialect. ### AI Agents Build AI agents, chatbots, and intelligent tools — deployed to a live URL. camelAI handles models, API keys, and infrastructure. The platform provides Workers AI with native bindings, streaming responses, persistent conversation history via Durable Objects, custom tool definitions with Zod schemas, and one-click deploy. Example projects: customer support chatbot trained on docs, document summarizer, brand-voice writing assistant, AI lead qualification tool. ### Automation Schedule cron jobs, build webhook listeners, and automate workflows with natural language. Replace Zapier and Make. The agent wakes up on a schedule, does real work, and goes back to sleep. Example workflows: daily revenue reports from Snowflake emailed to your team, Stripe webhook alerts to Slack, hourly anomaly detection with contextual alerts, weekly customer digests. ### Email Integration Your agent has its own email inbox. Send it tasks, get reports back, and continue every conversation in the web app. No other coding agent does this. How it works: send an email describing what you need, the agent reads and acts (writes code, queries data, connects integrations), results land back in your inbox. Combine with cron for scheduled email reports, integrations for data-driven responses, or use incoming emails as workflow triggers. ### Slack Integration DM your camelAI agent directly in Slack. Ask questions, trigger workflows, get reports — then continue the conversation in the web app. Your AI agent lives where your team already works. ### Internal Tools & Dashboards Build admin panels, dashboards, and CRUD apps by describing what you need. Connect to Postgres, Snowflake, Stripe, and 50+ data sources. No per-seat pricing — replace Retool and Appsmith. Features: authentication out of the box, shadcn/ui + TanStack Table pre-installed, real backend with persistent storage, iterative updates (just ask for changes), one-click deploy, and scheduled reports/syncs via cron. --- ## Tech Stack Built on Cloudflare's edge infrastructure: Workers, Workers for Platforms (multi-tenant dispatch), Durable Objects, R2, KV, Queues, Browser Rendering API, and AI Gateway. The coding agent runs in Cloudflare Containers and can work with major model providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, Kimi, and DeepSeek. User projects are scaffolded with React Router 7, Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4, and shadcn/ui. AI features use the Vercel AI SDK, Cloudflare's AI chat agent framework, and Workers AI routed through AI Gateway. ## Team Illiana Reed (CEO), Miguel Salinas (CTO), and Isabella Reed (COO/CRO) — a Y Combinator W24 team shipping products together since 2022. ## Pricing - **Free** — $0/mo.
