Bring your own AI

Most AI app builders bundle the AI and bill you for it — credits, message limits, per-token charges that surprise you at the end of the month. Croft doesn’t. You build with the assistant you already have and already trust: Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, or anything that speaks the open MCP standard.

There are three good reasons it works this way.

No markup. We charge a flat plan price for the ground and the caretaking — the server, the security, the backups. The thinking is your own AI account. Prompt as enthusiastically as you like; the bill doesn’t move.

No lock-in to one model. The AI world moves fast. Whatever’s best next month, you can point it at your croft — the same croft, the same apps, behind the same login. You’re never stranded on a builder’s in-house model because that’s all it supports.

One place to build. You already think things through in your assistant. Connect your croft once and “make me an app that…” ends with a working link. Change your mind next month? Open a chat and ask; it edits the app and redeploys.

The same principle runs through everything on Croft. Connectors hold your keys so they never end up in an app’s code. Automations that need to read and summarise use your AI key, billed by your provider, not marked up by us. And when you leave, you take everything with you.

Your AI, your data, your server. We just make them work together.
