Introduction

Build and publish websites, platforms, games, and native apps by asking Claude.

What is Manifest?

Manifest builds and hosts websites, web apps, platforms, and games for you, through Claude, and can package them as native apps for the App Store, Google Play, and desktop. Describe what you want, and Claude builds it, shows you a preview, and publishes it to a web address anyone can open. Later, ask for changes the same way.

You don't need to write code, set up a server, or learn hosting. You add Manifest to Claude once, then ask.

How it works

  1. Add the Manifest plugin to Claude and sign in. You do this once, on any Claude plan.
  2. Ask Claude to build something, or open a project you already have. The Quickstart walks you through it.
  3. Ask Claude to publish it. You get an address like acme-launch.manifestx.ai, and you can switch to your own domain whenever you like.

New projects and existing ones

New projects are built with Manifest's open-source framework, which is designed for AI to write. Claude uses Manifest's skills to lay out pages, style them, add forms and data, translate them, and make them easy to find in search.

Existing projects built with something else, such as React, Vite, Astro, or plain HTML, can keep their own setup (or ask Claude to duplicate them with the Manifest framework for SEO/AEO optimization and other benefits). Regardless, the Manifest plugin can publish and host any project.

What you can do

  • Publish to a web address, and preview changes on a separate staging address first.
  • Use your own domain, with the security certificate handled for you.
  • Undo a change by going back to an earlier version.
  • Work as a team, each person from their own Claude chats.
  • View analytics, like how many users came, which pages they visited, and where from.
  • Keep track of everything in the Manifest dashboard.
