Vibe Coding for SMBs

Karlsruhe, 27 July 2026. Vibe coding reaches small and medium-sized businesses: with the new AI App & Site Builder from IONOS, users describe what they need by text, voice or screenshot and receive a finished web application within minutes. Unlike traditional website builders, the platform delivers fully functional software with its own database, not just static pages – with no IT skills, agency costs or additional contracts.

With the AI App & Site Builder, IONOS continues to expand its Momentum AI ecosystem. It began with the AI Receptionist, which independently answers calls, responds to questions based on stored information and coordinates appointments.

Tailor-made software instead of rigid builders

The range extends from professional company websites and product configurators to appointment-scheduler apps and internal tools such as interactive dashboards or pricing calculators.

To ensure nothing goes wrong during the build, the platform automatically saves every working state. If required, the code, chat history and database can be rolled back to an earlier version. Users can build without limits and without interruption whenever they need to.

"If you need an application, you simply describe it in the chat, and the AI builds it. Where traditional builders stop at rigid websites, we deliver fully functional applications for real business processes, including their own database," explains Achim Weiß, CEO of IONOS.

Own infrastructure, everything in one product, GDPR-compliant

The AI App & Site Builder is an all-in-one package: creation, hosting, database, domain, SSL encryption, protection against overload attacks (DDoS) and email accounts. Everything is bundled into a single product and runs on European, GDPR-compliant infrastructure, independent of the major hyperscalers. Importantly for users: processed data is not used to train public AI models. Depending on the plan, users can run several apps and websites in parallel.

"Small businesses have neither the developers nor the time to build their own web applications. The AI App & Site Builder is part of a digital workforce that takes this work off their hands, so they can focus on their business," says Achim Weiß.

The product launches in three plans, starting with a promotional price from £9 in the first month, each including a domain, SSL certificate and email accounts. A 30-day money-back guarantee allows for risk-free testing.

A growing AI ecosystem

Momentum AI brings together AI applications that independently take on recurring tasks and relieve small teams. IONOS GPT, the assistant for everyday work, is being expanded to include document upload, data visualisation through charts, faster response times and a mode that makes the AI's reasoning steps transparent. Over the course of 2026, further AI agents will follow, taking on additional tasks for small businesses.

With Momentum AI, AI becomes as natural for SMBs as a website and email: accessible, affordable and built on European infrastructure.
