atelo

Hosting for AI-built apps.

Describe the tool you need, let an AI agent build it, and ship it live to its own <project>.test.atelo.io subdomain - with storage, secrets, and sign-in already wired in. No servers, no DevOps, no glue code.

Free for personal use | self-hostable | built for agent-created apps.

Get started

Ask your agent to install atelo

Ask your agent to install atelo at https://test.atelo.io/install. Let it handle setup, project scaffold, local run, and deploy flow.

Agent task

Paste this into your coding agent:

Install Atelo from https://test.atelo.io/install.

Then set up this project with Atelo:
1. Install the Atelo CLI using the install endpoint above. Choose the right command for this operating system.
2. Run atelo init with an appropriate subdomain for this app. Ask me before claiming a production subdomain.
3. Install project dependencies if the scaffold requires them.
4. Run atelo start and verify the app locally.
5. When the app is ready, run atelo deploy and report the live URL.

Use Atelo CLI output as the source of truth. Do not make destructive changes without asking first.

How it works

From an idea to a live tool in four steps

You stay in plain language. Your AI agent does the building. Atelo handles everything it takes to run the result on the internet.

Describe it

Tell your AI agent - like Claude Code - what you want: a dashboard, a form, an internal tool.

Build locally

The agent scaffolds a real Astro app and runs it on your machine with atelo start.

Deploy

One atelo deploy builds it, version-controls the source, and ships the result.

It's live

Your tool is online at <name>.test.atelo.io with storage, secrets, and sign-in ready to use.

What's included

The whole backend, already wired

Every app you ship gets the same managed primitives - so the agent writes features, not infrastructure.

Storage, no database setup

Key-value, file blobs, and typed tables - shared across users or scoped per-user. Safe schema changes migrate themselves; risky ones ask first.

Secrets that never reach the browser

Declare an outbound endpoint; atelo injects the API key server-side and proxies the call. Your frontend - and your users - never see the secret.

Auth without the boilerplate

Email magic links and Google sign-in are built in. Lock a tool to your team with an allowlist, or open it to anyone - one line of config.

Git-backed deploys & one-click rollback

Every deploy is an immutable version pushed to a real git repo. Roll back to any prior release instantly - no rebuild - and git clone anytime to take the code with you.

Local dev matches production

The same /_platform/* calls work on your laptop and in the cloud. What you test against locally is exactly what you ship - no surprises on deploy.

Yours to self-host

The same image runs on your own infrastructure. Bring your Postgres, S3 or R2, and SMTP - your data and your tools stay on your cloud.

What you can build

Real tools your team will actually use

Anything a small web app can do - without standing up a backend for each one.

Internal dashboardsPull live numbers from your data and put them on a shareable URL.

Intake & data-collection formsPer-user records, stored and queryable, with sign-in built in.

API

API-wrapping toolsWrap OpenAI, Stripe, or an internal service without leaking the key.

Customer-facing micro-appsCalculators, lookups, and quote tools you can hand a link to.

Team utilitiesApprovals, trackers, and request queues that live next to your work.

POC

Throwaway POCsPrototype an idea and share something real, not a screenshot.

Why atelo

The missing layer between "an agent built it" and "my team uses it"

AI can write the app. A blank cloud runtime can run code. Atelo is the part in between - a defined stack with storage, secrets, auth, versioning, and a home to deploy to.

Open, and yours to keep

Atelo is source-available under the Elastic License 2.0 - free for personal and non-production use, with a commercial license for company use. Run it hosted, or self-host the same image on your own Postgres and object storage. Your code is a git clone away, so you're never locked in.
