Generate a website from a prompt
An AI build job can scaffold a whole site from a brief, such as "a neighborhood dog groomer that takes bookings". The job proposes a plan first — the pages it will build with their addresses and navigation, the layout they share, a contact form, and a palette suggestion made from your theme — and builds nothing until you confirm it.
Everything it then builds follows the building rules, because each piece is built by the same job that builds it on its own: the pages by the page job, the layout by the layout job, the form by the form job. A scaffold is those jobs run in order, not a different way of building.
Aglyn AI is a release-flagged feature, currently being rolled out — it is not available in every workspace yet. This page says what a site job does, and grows with the feature.
Starting a new site from a few questions
A site you have just created opens on its Setup page, and Start this site with AI opens over it. It asks what kind of site you are creating, who it is for, which of the starter examples you like, and where your contact form's submissions should go — then writes the brief for you and plans the site from it.
Each answer changes what gets built. Who the site is for is who every page's search listing is written for, and who the contact form asks its questions of. Where submissions go is the form's routing: the Inbox, or the Inbox and a lead in CRM for every message that carries an email address. You can change that on the form itself afterwards.
Skip and start blank is in the bar at the top, from the moment the questions appear, and it is the same offer whether you have answered them or not. So are the close control beside it and the Escape key: all three do the same thing, and none of them stops working while the site is being planned. Taking any of them creates nothing at all: no job, no pages, no half-built site behind you. You keep the empty site you already have, on the page you were already on, and that site does not ask again.
What a scaffold builds
- Four to eight pages, each with its sections, its address and its search title and description. A brief that asks for a bigger site is several jobs.
- A shared layout for the header, navigation and footer every page sits in.
- A contact form, created on the Forms page and placed on the page that needs it.
- A palette suggestion built from your theme's own colors, which you apply in the Theme section — or do not.
- A welcome email draft, when you ask for one, written to the people the site is for and saying what became of the message it answers.
- The site's own search title and description, from what you said the site is and who it is for. They are the fallback every page without its own publishes, and they wait on the site's SEO section under The listing your answers describe — Put in the form stages them there, and the form's Update saves them.
- A navigation entry per page, proposed for you to add. The live navigation is not touched.
Nothing is published
Every page arrives as an unpublished draft, and so does everything else the scaffold makes. No address on your live site resolves to a new page, the navigation is unchanged, the palette waits in the Theme section until you save it, and the welcome email is not sent. You publish what you want, when you want, through the same buttons you always use.
What it costs, before it starts
A scaffold is far more work than a single page, so the plan shows an estimated cost in credits beside the button that confirms it. It is an estimate: what the job really costs is what each of its steps spends, and you can watch that add up on the job while it runs.
If your workspace runs out of credits partway through, the job stops and waits rather than failing. What it had already built stays, and it carries on from there once there are credits again. You can also cancel it at any point and keep what it made.
Watching it build
A site takes a while — each page is built a section at a time — so the job works in the background. Open AI jobs in the Assist panel to see which step it is on, what it has made so far, and to open any draft it has finished.
Generate for several sites at once
On the Sites page of your organization, Generate for several sites runs one brief across many of your sites, changing the business name, the city and the brand for each. It is available on the plans that hold enough sites for it to be useful.
Pick the sites, fill in each one's details, and the card shows what one site is estimated to cost and what the whole run is. Each site then becomes its own job: each proposes its own plan, each waits for you to confirm it, and each builds only drafts. The card's table shows where every site in the run has got to, with a link into each.
Where do form submissions go? is asked once for the whole run, in the same two answers the guided start offers, and it routes the contact form on every site the run builds. You can change it on any one of those forms afterwards.
You only see the sites you may build on, and a site you cannot is named rather than skipped quietly.
