- Do I need to be a developer?
- No. If you can explain how your business works, you can do this. Download Pikku Studio and start with the files you already have, or sign in and build it in the browser with nothing to install. If you already use Claude Code, Cursor or Codex, you can start from there instead.
- Does it really work offline?
- It can. Connect Pikku Studio to a model running on your own computer and nothing leaves the machine. How well that goes depends on your hardware — a larger model needs a more powerful computer — so most people start with an AI provider’s key and switch later if they want to.
- What if the AI gets it wrong?
- It will sometimes. So a second opinion checks the work, and it is never the one who did it. Before anything goes out, someone clicks through it the way a customer would. Every change starts as a plan you approve, so anything that slips through, you send back the same way.
- Will my customers see each other’s things?
- No. Every app comes with real accounts and rules about who sees what. Your team sees everything, each customer sees only their own, and somebody clicks through it as each kind of customer before it goes out.
- Am I going to get a bill I did not agree to?
- No. Pikku Studio itself is free, and so is running what it builds on your own servers. The AI is the one part you bring: an AI provider’s key, billed by them, or a model on your own computer that costs nothing. You pay us only when you deploy to our cloud. Signing up puts free credit in your account; after that you pay as you go, or choose a plan with monthly credit, spent on requests, servers, storage and AI as they happen. Monthly credit is used first, and you top up only if you choose to.
- Who owns the code?
- You do. Your app is ordinary code in your own repository, built on the MIT-licensed Pikku framework. Run it on your own servers or on ours, and leave whenever you like — there is nothing proprietary to untangle.
