Description
Charming provides a collaborative cloud environment for building and hosting applications with the help of AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Muse, Grok, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Hermes. The platform allows users to create unlimited personal apps without needing any coding knowledge, as the AI assistant writes the necessary code. These apps are automatically published with a real URL, making them accessible in a web browser or directly within chat interfaces.

A core feature of Charming is its ability to ensure data persistence. Apps remember what users have saved, whether it's a book list, workout log, or trip plans, making the data available across different devices and chat sessions. Users maintain full control over who can view, use, or edit their applications, with private apps and invitations included even on the free plan. This allows for secure sharing with friends, family, or team members, with granular access controls.
Charming integrates seamlessly with existing AI subscriptions, meaning users do not need to purchase a separate AI model subscription for the platform itself. It acts as the hosting and data management layer, while the user's chosen AI provider handles the app creation and updates. The platform supports connecting to various services like Gmail, Slack, GitHub, and Notion, enhancing app functionality.
For businesses and teams, Charming offers advanced features like admin controls for sharing, API visibility, audit trails, single sign-on (SSO), roles and permissions, and an admin view of all apps. It emphasizes security, with apps running in isolated environments and robust controls for identity, access, and data management. Charming was founded in 2026 by Michael Magan, Lachlan Heywood, and Akhilesh Rangani, with headquarters in Seattle, WA, and is backed by venture capital and notable industry leaders.
