“AI website builder for designers and teams” — the vendor’s own words

The AI agent genuinely edits a live, publishable site instead of spitting out a mockup — rare in this category — but there's no open MCP, no code export, and the $10 headline creeps fast once seats and credit tiers stack up.

The verdict, read by Jan · AI clone of Jan’s voice, generated locally with his consent.
Best for: Design-led teams and startups that want an AI agent editing a real, publishable site rather than generating a mockup, and who are comfortable with vendor lock-in (no code export) in exchange for design quality and speed.

Strengths

Genuine multi-frontier model access (Anthropic and OpenAI) through a transparent picker with published efficiency work; the agent operates natively inside a real design canvas with CMS and component context rather than producing throwaway mockups; a real publish gate (Branching, canvas-only edits) keeps AI changes reviewable before they go live; and the External Agents bridge lets Claude Code, Cursor and Codex work inside a live project without exporting.

Honest dings

No open MCP server — Framer built a proprietary bridge instead and says so explicitly; native image and video generation is outsourced to third-party marketplace plugins rather than shipped; and independent reviews (Trustpilot, G2-sourced roundups) show a consistent pattern of slow, bot-first support plus pricing that escalates fast once editor seats, localization and agent-credit tiers stack up.

Prices and details change — this passport is re-verified at least quarterly.
