Under the hood

A fundamentally different architecture

Most AI builders share compute across users and rely on third-party hosting. Zylo takes a different approach: every project gets a dedicated development sandbox (Phoenix) — an isolated VM with 4 CPU and 8 GB RAM — where the AI agent plans architecture, generates code, and auto-repairs build errors in a reproducible environment. When you publish, code auto-deploys to HumanikCloud, our own managed cloud, as a production webservice with blue-green deploys, scale-to-zero, SSL, and CDN.

Phoenix Sandbox

Dedicated VM per project. The AI agent plans, builds, and auto-repairs your code in an isolated environment. Invisible to users.

Auto-Deploy Pipeline

Code pushes to Git, HumanikCloud clones, builds, health-checks, and serves. Zero config required.

HumanikCloud Production

Auto-scaling, scale-to-zero, SSL, CDN, 42+ edge locations. Your own managed cloud infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions

How is Zylo different from Lovable?+
Both platforms generate real code, but the architecture is fundamentally different. Zylo runs a dedicated AI sandbox (Phoenix) per project — an isolated VM where the agent plans, builds, and auto-repairs your app. When you publish, code auto-deploys to HumanikCloud, our own managed cloud with blue-green deploys, scale-to-zero, and VM isolation. Lovable focuses on rapid prototyping workflows with third-party deployment. Zylo gives you the full pipeline — build, deploy, and production infrastructure — for $27/mo.
Is Zylo really cheaper than the alternatives?+
Yes. Zylo Pro is $27/mo with unlimited AI edits, dedicated cloud hosting on HumanikCloud, database, auth, Stripe payments, and custom domains — all included. Lovable starts at $50/mo with per-project pricing. Base44 ranges $39-199/mo. Traditional development costs $5,000-15,000+. Zylo is the only platform that includes a dedicated AI sandbox VM and managed production infrastructure at this price point.
Do I own the code Zylo generates?+
Yes. Full ownership. Export to GitHub, run locally, or deploy anywhere. The code is real React + Node.js + PostgreSQL — no proprietary lock-in.
Can I migrate from another builder to Zylo?+
Absolutely. Describe your existing app to the AI agent and it will build a version in Zylo. You can also import existing GitHub repos into Zylo's container system.
What if I need more than what the AI can build?+
Zylo generates real code — React, Node.js, PostgreSQL. You can export to GitHub and continue development with any tools or team. There's no lock-in.
How is Zylo different from Bolt?+
Bolt is a fast code generation tool that outputs code across multiple frameworks, but it stops at code — no hosting, no database, no auth, no deployment pipeline. Zylo takes you from prompt to production with included hosting on HumanikCloud, PostgreSQL database, Supabase Auth, Stripe payments, and blue-green zero-downtime deploys, all for $27/mo.
How does Zylo compare to Replit?+
Replit is a collaborative cloud coding environment for developers who want to write code. Zylo is an app builder for anyone who wants to ship production apps without coding. Zylo includes visual editing, self-healing builds, production-grade hosting on HumanikCloud, and all backend services included — purpose-built for going from idea to live app.
