What is Pikku Studio Cloud?

Pikku Studio Cloud turns a conversation into a live app. You describe what you want, Pikku Studio Cloud asks you the questions that actually matter, writes down every decision as it's made, and builds your app one piece at a time while you're still talking — no servers to set up, no config files to wrestle with.

The same platform carries you all the way from "I have an idea" to "it's running for thousands of people" — without forcing you to become a different kind of person to get there.

Who Pikku Studio Cloud is for

Pikku Studio Cloud is built for three kinds of people — and most teams have all three. You don't have to pick one; pick where you are right now.

The vibe coder

You have an idea and you want to see it work. You describe what you want in plain English, watch it come to life in a live preview, and ship it — without writing the plumbing yourself. Vibe code like a noob.

→ Start with Chat and Milestones.

The operator

Your app is live and real people depend on it. You need to ship changes safely, watch its health, control what's deployed where, and roll back the moment something looks wrong. Monitor like a pro.

→ Start with Deploying, Observability, Configuration, and keep an eye on cost in Usage.

The developer

You want the code. Pikku Studio Cloud is built on Pikku, an open-source TypeScript framework, so you can drop into the terminal, work hand-in-hand with the AI, and you own everything — the repo is ordinary code you can clone and run yourself.

→ Start with Building with Pikku and the CLI reference.

How it works

Whichever one you are, everything in Pikku Studio Cloud follows the same loop.

1. You talk; it decides. Describe your idea, then answer one question at a time. Pikku Studio Cloud makes the calls you didn't know needed making and shows you them being made, so your job is correcting it rather than specifying everything up front. See Chat.
2. Every decision is written down. Not into a transcript that scrolls away — into a knowledge base you can read in plain language at any time. Those notes are the specification your app gets built from.
3. It builds in milestones. Once enough is settled, a milestone of your app is built in the background while the conversation carries on. Each one carries the user journey it has to pass to count as done.
4. You publish it. All of that happens in a private sandbox with no route to the internet. Publishing is the one deliberate step that takes it live — and production always asks you first.

Four-step horizontal flow: a question card "It decides, you correct" then a stack of note cards "Every decision written down" then a small stacked-layers icon "Built one milestone at a time" then a green globe "You publish it." Title: "Talk it through. It's built."

What you get

• A backend without the infrastructure. No servers, scaling rules, or deployment scripts to manage. Pikku Studio Cloud handles where and how your code runs.
• A record you can actually read. What your app is, what it's made of, and why every decision was made — kept up to date as you build, not written once and abandoned.
• You stay in control. Nothing reaches customers without your say-so, and you can roll back any change in one click.
• Real-time monitoring. Once you're live, the console shows your app's health, errors, logs, and traffic at a glance.
• No lock-in. Pikku Studio Cloud is built on Pikku, an open-source framework. Your functions, workflows, and data are always yours — the repo is ordinary code you can clone and run yourself, with no eject step in between.

Already have an API?

You don't have to rebuild anything. Upload your existing OpenAPI spec and Pikku Studio Cloud layers AI agents, workflows, and 2,000+ integrations on top of the endpoints you already have. Your API keeps working exactly as it does today — Pikku Studio Cloud just gives it new abilities.

Where to go next

• Quick start — from an idea to a running app, in one conversation.
• Core concepts — the handful of words (chat, knowledge, milestones, stages) you'll see everywhere.
• The Builder — the workspace where all of this happens.
