The CLI scaffolds a Next.js + Payload CMS project with chaipro set up and walks you through configuration - database, environment, the works.
Your hosting, your database. The 30-day trial starts when you deploy - no credit card, no email.
Create pages, sections, and content on the visual canvas, with the AI assistant alongside.
Changes go live in a single action.
Pages render with SSG + ISR - each page is built on its first visit, cached, and automatically revalidated when you publish.
The open-source chaicore core is a basic Next.js builder that controls the visual layer and persists pages; chaipro is that core plus a set of Pro extensions, installed into the app.
The CMS for structured content such as blogs, wired to the visual builder; part of Pro, included via the starter.
Put together: a plain Next.js application - nothing proprietary in the deployment.
Pages aren't built at build time; each page builds on a visitor's first visit, then is cached.
When you publish a page, it is automatically invalidated and rebuilt - no manual cache-busting.
Preview mode, built on Next.js draft mode, shows unpublished changes safely.
A basic Next.js website builder: visual builder, SQLite page storage, and rendering. Runnable and self-contained, not a headless component.
The chaicore core plus a set of Pro extensions that make it the professional product.
Because the deployment is a plain Next.js + Payload app, nothing here is a black box:
Developers build it. Editors run it.
Override pages and routing. Plug in your own Payload collections. Extend the builder with custom blocks and panels. Anything the visual builder can't do, you build — by design, not as a workaround.
Build and publish pages with no code. Role-based access control keeps the right people editing the right things — no developer bottleneck, no risky changes.
