Role-based visual editing

Publish changes yourself - no code, no tickets, no waiting.

ChaiBuilder gives your team role-based visual editing: build and publish pages without code changes, work together with page locking, preview before you go live, and roll back anything.

Build your first branded client site in the trial.

Role-based editing

Page locking

Preview before live

Roll back anything

The problem

Every edit shouldn't need an engineer

01

The ticket queue

Every content change waits on a developer or a ticket - simple edits take days.

02

The walled garden

On hosted platforms, your content and users live behind a vendor you don't control.

03

The ChaiBuilder answer

Routine publishing moves into your team's hands, on a site your company owns.

Two roles, one workflow

Developers build it. You run it.

For developers

Set up once

Your developers configure and extend the site - routing, collections, custom blocks - and encode the design system.

For your team

Run it yourselves

From then on, your team builds and publishes visually. Developers stop being a bottleneck for content; you stop waiting.

Safe autonomy

Freedom, with guardrails

Role-based access control

Roles and permissions decide who can edit and publish what - the right people touch the right things.

Publish without code changes

Build and change pages visually; no CSS, no deploys, nothing to break.

The collaboration workflow

Work together, safely

Multi-user editing with page locking

Several editors at once, without stepping on each other.

Preview mode

See changes before they're live, built on Next.js draft mode.

One-click publish

Ship a change in a single action.

Revisions & restore

Full page history; any edit is reversible, never a one-way door.

AI assistant

Edit by chat.
No coding required.

An in-builder chat panel that edits content, creates and edits sections, and helps with SEO and theming — all in plain language.

Multilingual & media, built in

Content operations, covered

Multilingual

Build and manage content in multiple languages.

Media manager & image editor

Organize media and edit images without leaving the builder.

Your content is yours

Your pages, media, and registered users live in your company's own database, on infrastructure your company runs. Not on a vendor's platform, and never held hostage by one. ChaiBuilder has no access to any of it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does the free trial work?
It's a 30-day trial with no credit card and no email required. Create your project with
npx chaibuilder-app create
, deploy to your server, and the trial starts on deploy. There are no refunds, so use the trial to validate fit before buying.
What does the license actually cover?
Licenses are perpetual within a version window: valid through the end of your year and eligible for any
chaipro
version released in that window. When it expires, renew to stay current or keep running the last eligible version.
What's open source and what's paid?
The open-source core (
chaicore
) is a basic Next.js website builder: visual builder, SQLite page storage, and rendering. The paid
chaipro
package adds a set of Pro extensions on top: roles, revisions, multilingual, redirects, media management, advanced AI, multi-tenancy, and more.
Can I use a different CMS?
Yes. Payload CMS ships wired in out of the box, but there is no coupling between Payload's tables and ChaiBuilder's. Swap in any CMS you prefer.
How does Bring-Your-Own-AI work?
The AI assistant runs on Vercel AI Gateway or OpenRouter out of the box, and you can configure any custom provider via ChaiBuilder config. Usage stays under your own provider account.
