What is an AI website builder for publishers?

It is a website builder you talk to. In Pelcro, you add and manage your content, then change the site by describing the change to AI Studio. Subscriptions, paywalls and newsletters are built in, so the website and the subscription system are one product.

Is Pelcro a CMS for my website?

Yes. Pelcro now offers a CMS: you add and manage the content of your site and publish changes to it. The demo on this page shows a news site being edited and published from inside Pelcro.

How do I change my site without filing a ticket?

Open AI Studio, go to Website builder, and describe the change in plain language. AI Studio shows it in a preview right next to the chat, marked as not live. When you are happy, you publish it as a new version of your live site, or discard it.

Will a change go live before I approve it?

No. Changes appear first in the preview next to the chat. Your live site only changes when you press Publish.

Can I check the change on a phone before it goes live?

Yes. The preview has desktop, tablet and phone views.

Does it work for small publishers?

Yes. Pelcro is built for publishers, and the changes you ask for are plain-language requests, so you do not need a developer on staff to make them.

Which tools can I connect to my website?

You can connect analytics and advertising tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Mixpanel, Google AdSense and Meta. For anything else, there is a dedicated space to add your own private API keys for a custom integration.

Can different team members have different permissions?

Yes. The CMS has different roles, and what each role can do is scoped.

Can I embed videos in my stories?

Yes. You can embed YouTube, Vimeo and other video players.

How much does it cost, and is there a free trial?

Case study

How a change ships

From request to live site, without a ticket

Most website changes wait in a vendor queue. Here you ask, check the result and publish it yourself, the same day. Try it below.

Type what you want in plain language. In the demo: add Climate to the main menu and show every story tagged climate.
