Trickle - AI-powered platform to build websites and apps from ideas

What Is Trickle?

Ever had an idea for a website or app but felt stuck because you don't have a development team, weeks of time, or thousands of dollars to invest? You're not alone. Traditional development requires hiring engineers, designing mockups, writing code, testing, and deploying—a process that can easily take months and cost tens of thousands of dollars. By the time your product is ready, the market might have moved on.

Trickle changes that equation entirely. It's the fastest way to turn your ideas into real, usable websites, applications, or forms—without needing a full team or weeks of effort. You describe what you want, and Trickle's AI builds and publishes it in hours, not weeks.

At the heart of Trickle is Magic Canvas, the world's first agentic coding canvas designed specifically for "vibe coding." Instead of wrestling with complex prompts or waiting for AI to generate code you then have to figure out how to deploy, you work in a visual space where you and AI build together in real time. The canvas serves as a persistent context space, meaning the AI understands your project structure, design preferences, and goals across every interaction. You see updates sync instantly to code as you collaborate—no more black boxes or guesswork about what the AI is doing.

This approach represents a fundamental shift in human-AI interaction. Trickle moves beyond the "chat mode" that dominated early AI tools into what they call "GUI mode"—where AI's reasoning and actions are visible, controllable, and collaborative. You express intent through language, interaction, and visual structure, not through tedious prompt engineering.

Whether you're an entrepreneur testing a concept, a designer building a portfolio, a marketer launching a campaign landing page, or a team needing an internal tool, Trickle lets you focus on what you want to build—not how to build it.

Trickle's Core Features

Trickle gives you a complete toolkit to go from concept to live product without leaving your browser. Here's what you can actually do with each feature.

Magic Canvas is the foundation that makes everything possible. You can use it to collaborate with AI in a visual workspace where the canvas itself acts as persistent memory for your project. Every component, design choice, and functional requirement lives in context, so the AI generates accurate, coherent code every time. Drag elements around, make adjustments, and watch the code update instantly. This isn't a prototype tool—you're building production-ready applications.

AI Website Builder lets you use natural language to generate professional websites for any industry. You can use it to describe your vision—"I need a sleek portfolio for a freelance photographer with a dark theme and gallery section"—and watch a complete, styled website materialize. The builder supports English, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese, making it accessible to creators worldwide.

Built-in Database means you can use Trickle to store and manage data without setting up external services. From simple contact forms to complex user management, your data lives right alongside your application. Free plans include 100 rows, Pro supports 1,000, and Premium handles 10,000.

Website Hosting is included in every plan. You can publish with one click and get a live URL immediately. Pro users receive three Trickle subdomains plus one custom domain, while Premium expands to ten Trickle subdomains and three custom domains—perfect for agencies or businesses managing multiple properties.

Template Marketplace gives you hundreds of pre-built components and full-page templates to jumpstart your projects. You can use it to browse industry-specific designs like Apple Vision Pro demos, Kpop trainee portfolios, avatar generators, CRM dashboards, and more. Every template is fully customizable and ready to deploy.

Drag-and-Drop Editing ensures you maintain complete control, even if you're not technical. You can fine-tune AI-generated content, rearrange layouts, and add personal touches without writing code—everything stays synchronized.

Multi-Page Application Support lets you build complex, full-featured applications rather than simple landing pages. Navigation, user flows, authenticated pages, and database-backed features all work together seamlessly.

Third-Party Integrations extend Trickle's capabilities when you need them. You can connect to Supabase and other services to match your existing workflow and scale as needed.

Who's Using Trickle

Trickle serves a wide range of creators, from solo entrepreneurs to marketing teams. Here's how different users actually apply the platform to solve real problems.

If you're an entrepreneur validating an idea, you can use Trickle to go from概念到可发布MVP in hours rather than weeks. Describe your product vision to the AI, and it generates a functioning website or web app you can test with real users. This dramatically reduces the cost and time required to validate market demand before investing in full development. Many creators have launched product waitlists, early-access pages, and functional prototypes this way—getting real feedback before writing a single line of traditional code.

If you're a designer building a portfolio, you can use it to transform rough project notes into a polished, professional portfolio in minutes. The AI Portfolio Builder and Designer Portfolio templates are specifically designed to showcase creative work beautifully. You focus on curating your projects; Trickle handles the design and layout—resulting in a portfolio that looks like it took days to build, not minutes.

If you're a marketer launching campaign landing pages, speed matters. You can use the Landing Page Builder or Product Launch Page Builder to create conversion-optimized pages in minutes, not hours. Need to test multiple versions for A/B testing? Trickle lets you spin up variations quickly, so you can iterate on messaging and design based on real performance data.

If you're a team needing internal tools, you can build dashboards, project management interfaces, and approval workflows without requesting engineering resources. The Dashboard Builder and Project Management Dashboard templates let you construct decision-ready tools in hours. These aren't toys—they're functional applications your team can actually use daily.

If you're launching an online store, the Ecommerce Website Builder and Online Store Builder help you get a branded shop running in hours rather than weeks. Product listings, cart functionality, and clean checkout flows are all built in—you focus on products and branding.

If you're organizing an event, you can create professional event pages for weddings, conferences, or workshops using dedicated builders. Share dates, schedules, RSVP forms, and venue details in a polished, mobile-friendly format that guests can access instantly.
