An autonomous AI agent platform: you give an agent a goal in plain English and it plans, uses real tools, and delivers the finished work.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Actus has a free plan to get started, with paid plans that add higher limits and advanced features like scheduled automations and team workspaces.

Can agents run automatically on a schedule?

Yes — agents can run hourly, daily, or on a custom cadence, so routine work happens automatically without you starting it each time.

How is Actus different from a chatbot?

A chatbot replies with text. An Actus agent takes action: it uses real tools to research, write, build, and send, then returns a finished deliverable instead of just advice.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe your goal in plain English and the agent plans and executes the steps. Agents can write and run code when a task needs it, but you never have to.

Do I stay in control of what an agent does?

Yes. Irreversible actions require your approval, every run has budget and step limits, and each step is logged so you can see exactly what happened.

Building an AI Agent That Deploys Real Websites

Most AI tools generate code and stop. An AI agent that deploys real websites goes further: it writes the code, builds the project, fixes errors, deploys to a live URL, and confirms the site is reachable. The difference between code generation and deployment is the difference between a draft and a delivered result.

Why deployment matters

A developer can review generated code and deploy it manually. A small business owner or marketer cannot. They need a working site they can share immediately. An agent that stops at code generation leaves the hardest part—making it live—unfinished.

What deployment requires

Deployment means compiling or building the project, resolving dependencies, handling build errors, uploading assets, configuring the server or hosting platform, assigning a URL, and verifying the site loads. Each step can fail. A useful agent handles common failures, retries when appropriate, and surfaces blocking errors clearly.

A practical deployment workflow

The user describes the site: purpose, content, style, and any specific sections.
The agent scaffolds a project with a modern framework and design system.
It writes components, configuration, and content based on the brief.
It runs the build process and fixes common errors like missing imports or syntax issues.
It deploys the built site to a hosting platform and returns a live URL.
It verifies the URL loads and reports any deployment issues.

This entire process runs in one conversation. The user receives a clickable link to a live site, not a zip file of code.

Example: contractor website

A Cape Coral HVAC company asks for a simple site with a hero section, services list, contact form, and footer. The agent scaffolds a Next.js project, writes a responsive layout with Tailwind, generates a hero image that matches the company's service area, populates the services from the brief, builds the project, deploys it to a public URL, and confirms it loads. The owner can share the link within minutes.

Technical considerations

The agent uses a build system that supports modern frameworks like Next.js, handles image optimization, manages dependencies automatically, and deploys to a CDN-backed hosting platform. It applies the user's Brand Kit colors and style when available. It writes real content from the brief, never placeholder text. It ensures mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility.

Where Actus fits

Actus orchestrates the scaffolding, code generation, build, image generation, and deployment steps. It can integrate with brand assets, apply design guidelines, and produce a live site in a single workflow. The result is a real public URL the user can visit, edit, or hand off.

Quality checklist

Real content, not lorem ipsum
Responsive layout across devices
Clear call to action on the homepage
Fast load time via optimized images and CDN
Valid HTML and accessible markup
Consistent branding and color palette
Working navigation and contact paths
Deployed to a reliable, fast hosting platform

Common deployment failures and fixes

Build error: Missing dependency or import. The agent reviews the error log, installs the missing package, or fixes the import path.
Image reference error: Image path incorrect for the framework. The agent adjusts the public path or uses the correct static asset reference.
Deploy timeout: Large build or slow network. The agent retries or simplifies the build output.
URL not loading: DNS propagation delay. The agent confirms deployment success and notes that the URL may take a minute to resolve.

Guardrails

Never deploy a site that includes fake contact information, fabricated testimonials, or misleading claims. Never overwrite an existing production site without explicit confirmation. Log all deployment actions and provide rollback instructions if needed.

Implementation advice

Start with a clear content brief.
Define the primary conversion action.
Use a modern, well-supported framework.
Generate real imagery, not just CSS gradients.
Test the build locally before deploying.
Confirm the live URL loads before reporting success.
Provide editing instructions if the user wants to modify the site.

Conclusion

An AI agent that deploys real websites eliminates the gap between code generation and a live result. It handles scaffolding, content writing, design, building, deployment, and verification in one workflow. The user receives a working site they can share immediately, not a development task.
