How it works

Acira AI is a fully hosted platform for building and running websites. You describe or build a site, publish it, and it goes live on a fast global network with a database, custom domains, SSL, email, and marketing tooling already wired in. There are no servers to provision and nothing to deploy to — publishing is the deploy.

This portal is for the people who build on top of that: agency developers and technical teams who create sites with the AI coding agent, edit them locally with the acira CLI, and manage a portfolio of client sites.

Three ways to build

You can move between these freely on the same site — they all edit the same project.

• The AI coding agent — build and change a site conversationally in the app. You describe what you want; the agent writes the pages, logic, and content. Best for getting started fast and for non-code changes.
• The acira CLI — pull a site to your own machine, edit it in any editor (including AI editors like Claude Code or Cursor), and publish it back. Best for developers who want full control, version control, and their own toolchain.
• A single-page app — mount a React/Vue/etc. app under part of a site and build it with your own bundler, while the rest of the site stays server-rendered. CLI-only.

What every site includes

Whichever way you build, a published site comes with the same capabilities built in — no add-ons to install:

• Server-rendered pages and reusable layouts
• A database with author-managed content and runtime data
• Dynamic page logic, forms, file uploads, and webhooks
• User accounts, login, and protected areas
• Transactional email from the site's own domain
• Scheduled tasks and realtime channels
• An AI chatbot trained on the site's content
• Automatic translation into many languages
• Custom domains with automatic SSL, delivered over a global CDN

See Capabilities for the full picture of what you can build.

Hosting

Sites run on Cloudflare's global network, so pages are served close to visitors with a fast CDN and generous bandwidth. Custom domains get SSL automatically. You don't manage any of this — it's provisioned when you publish.

Where things live

• Build and manage in the app at app.acira.ai — the dashboard for a site's domains, analytics, SEO, team, deployments, and more.
• Edit locally with the acira CLI.
• API keys for the CLI are created in the app under Settings → API Keys.
