From idea to live URL in five minutes.

Make an account

Head to hatchable.com and sign up with your email. No credit card. The free tier covers everything you need to build, test, and share with people you invite. You only pay when you decide to put something on the open web.

Pick how you want to talk to the AI

Two paths. Both end up at the same place — a live app on Hatchable. Pick whichever feels easier today; you can switch any time.

Connect your AI to Hatchable (only if using your own AI)

Hatchable speaks MCP — a small open standard that lets AI tools call into other tools safely. Adding Hatchable takes one paste. Once it's done, your AI can create projects, write code, deploy them, and check that they work — all in the same conversation.

All five OAuth-capable clients (Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Antigravity, plus Cursor 1.0+) handle sign-in via a browser tab — once the connector is added, click Connect on its row (or its equivalent: Authenticate in Codex, the OAuth prompt on first use in Cursor/Antigravity), approve on hatchable.com, and you're done. Claude Code shares its connectors list with Claude on the web, so one setup covers both. Cursor 1.0+ added OAuth over Streamable HTTP; older Cursor versions still need a static token from your API keys page in place of $HATCHABLE_TOKEN.

Tell the AI what to build

Whichever path you picked, the next step's the same. Describe the thing, who it's for, what matters most. Don't worry about being technical. The more specific you are about the use case, the better the first version comes out.

The AI will ask a question or two if something's ambiguous ("how many kids?", "should chores reset weekly or daily?") — answer in plain English. It plans the whole thing, writes the code, sets up the database, and tests its own work before showing you anything.

Watch it deploy

You'll see a stream of "doing this, doing that" go by — making the database, writing pages, testing. When it's done you get a live URL like your-name.hatchable.site/chores. That's a real, working website you can open on your phone right now.

All of it included. Nothing to configure. Nothing to bolt on. Hatchable handles every piece of plumbing so the AI can focus on building what you asked for.

Share it (or keep it to yourself)

By default your app is private — only you can see it. To bring others in, paste an email address or a Hatchable handle and pick "Can use" or "Can edit." They get an invite, sign in, and they're in. No seat limits. Invite your family, your team, your whole book club.

Want it on the open web instead? That's a one-click flip in the project settings — see Sharing & selling for what each option costs.

Change anything by talking

Forgot a feature? Spot a bug? Want a different color scheme? Go back to the chat box and say so. The AI rewrites the relevant pieces and redeploys. Every change is tracked, so if a new version breaks something you can roll back with one click.

You're never stuck with the first version. The whole point is that you keep talking to it, and the app keeps getting closer to what you actually wanted.

Where to look in your console: the Code tab shows every file in your project plus a History sub-tab where each change is a labeled entry — the AI's request as the title, its plain-language summary as the body. Once you publish your site to the web, new changes land as drafts at your-app-draft.hatchable.site first, where only you and your collaborators can see them. You click Promote to live when each one's ready. Your live site stays untouched until you do.
