Build websites and apps with Floot
Connect Floot to the AI assistant you already use — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client — then describe what you want in that chat. Floot builds a production-grade app around it, with the database, authentication, and hosting included and no infrastructure to manage.
