Ask it the way you would ask a person.

Helstify takes a prompt all the way to a running application: you describe the app, connect an AI plan you already pay for, and choose how much it may do on its own, and it writes the code, sets up the database, points the domain, starts the mail and deploys it, then keeps it running with the same files open in your browser. You are paying for the whole built-and-run loop: an isolated container, your own domain with TLS, mailboxes, a database, and ongoing operation of the app including updates, mail and DNS. An AI chat website only gives you a conversation; it does not build, host, deploy, manage your domain or mail, or keep a live application running under your control.

Register an account, select your plan on the business page, then link your project's GitHub repo in the panel or upload the files directly. From there the code can be modified while the app runs.

Helstify is an AI-native operating environment that turns a prompt into a fully running application, writing code, provisioning databases, configuring domains and mail, and deploying it. Users connect their own AI plan (Claude, OpenAI, Google, or opencode) and set how much the council may act autonomously.

Helstify lets you turn an idea into a live app on the internet and keep it running. You describe what you want in plain words, connect an AI Brain, and it writes the code, wires up the database, points your domain, sets up mail, and deploys inside your own container.

The AI council handles day-to-day operations like deployments, DNS, mailboxes, updates, and backups.

The message means the AI Brain's login has expired or wasn't completed. Open the council, click the Brain picker, and if none is selected or it shows expired, click Connect and sign in with your AI provider account. The login is stored in your workspace container, so you only need to do this once.

Yes, you can use your ChatGPT (or OpenAI) subscription with Helstify by connecting it in the dashboard under the Council Brain picker, selecting Codex, and signing in with your OpenAI account. Helstify does not charge extra; you pay your AI provider directly.

Open the council in your dashboard, click the Brain picker, and choose a provider such as Claude, Codex, opencode or Antigravity. Then sign in with your own account at that provider. The login is stored in your workspace, so it only needs to be done once across all your businesses.

Claude is a strong choice for long, multi-step work across a real codebase. Codex is a good option if you already pay for ChatGPT, since you can reuse that subscription. opencode is useful if you want to spend nothing and do not mind slower turns. The easiest approach is to connect whichever provider you already have an account with.

Yes. You can switch Brains later without losing anything, since the login is per workspace rather than per business.

You can have your council check the machine directly by asking it to check the PHP version and pending updates on that server and report what is exposed.

Open the Login page, click Forgot password under the form, enter the email address you registered with, and a reset link will be sent to you. If the email doesn't arrive within a few minutes, check your spam folder and try once more.

Search your inbox and spam folder for the service name, or for an invoice or receipt from the payment provider used at signup, since those usually show the email address on the account. If you paid by card, your card statement or receipt may also show it.

Use the "Talk to a person" button under the chat. It saves your conversation and sends it to the team along with your name and email, and the right person can pick it up from there.

A business can be placed in read-only mode when there is an overdue invoice on the account. Sign in to your client area and check the invoice list under Billing to confirm whether any invoice is still unpaid. If the invoice shows as paid but the business remains read-only, contact support so the account can be reviewed.

Helstify plans are Starter at $9/month (2 GB RAM, 15 GB disk), Operator at $24/month (4 GB RAM, 30 GB disk) and Studio at $49/month (three businesses, 4 GB RAM and 30 GB disk each), about 20% less a month if paid yearly. That is 25% off launch pricing, and whoever signs up at it keeps that price for as long as they stay subscribed. Another business is $5 a month on Starter and $12 on Operator or Studio. You can also rent a plain machine for hosting from $3–4.

A business commonly shows as read-only when there is an overdue invoice on the account. Sign in to your account or open a support ticket so your invoice status can be checked.

Starter is the right starting point. At $9/mo it covers one business built and hosted on 2 GB of RAM, with domain, DNS, TLS and mailboxes handled by the council, and the code can be read and edited while it runs. Operator at $24 is for when it grows and needs a bigger machine, more domains and mailboxes, or a few people on the account. Small or not, start with Starter.

Yes, you can rent machines on their own for things like WordPress, game servers, voice channels, databases, or self-hosted tools without needing an app plan.

Go to Domains & DNS for the business and point the domain to the service's nameservers; the TLS certificate will issue automatically after propagation, which may take a few minutes to a few hours.

First, ensure your site is properly delegated. Then, check the app status and logs in your dashboard for errors, and review resource usage like CPU and memory limits on the Business page.

The Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is a set of rules that govern how you may use the service. It outlines what activities are allowed and prohibited, what types of traffic are acceptable, and the consequences for violating the policy. The AUP applies to all aspects of the service, including app plans, hosting, mail, and game servers. You can find the full text on the legal section of the website. If you're unsure about a specific project, you can describe it for guidance.

No, building or running DDoS tools is strictly prohibited. The AUP bans harmful, abusive, or illegal use, which includes any tools designed to attack networks, services, or individuals. Accounts found violating this will be suspended or closed.
