Knolo

What Knolo is

Knolo describes itself as a "no-code AI operating system" for your business with website publishing built in. You say what you need in plain language, and it builds assistants, background agents, knowledge bases it calls Minds, and automations that run on your own data. It also publishes a real website on your own domain whose content and forms connect to that system. The pitch is aimed at founders and small teams who would otherwise stitch together a website builder, an AI chat tool and an automation tool by hand. The home page puts it this way: "Knolo puts all three in one system you build by talking to it."

What you build and how

Knolo's model has 3 parts that know about each other. The Site is the front door: a real website on your domain, where pages read straight from your Minds and forms write straight into them. Minds are the memory: your content, customers and leads in one place, and the home page says that if you edit a row, "the live site updates, with no redeploy". Agents are the staff: they pick up every signup, lead and request as it lands, then qualify it, reply to it, write about it or publish it.

The editor is a conversation. You describe the site you want and Knolo "designs it, builds it as a real Next.js website, shows you a live preview and publishes it when you say so, on your own domain if you like." The FAQ answers the template question with "Real code", and says everything you build, including the site's code, stays yours. Pages take their content from your Minds, and each form submission is saved as a row that your agents can act on. Once a site is published, you add your domain and Knolo gives you the exact DNS records to create at your registrar: an A record for a root domain or a CNAME for a subdomain. The site goes live as soon as DNS propagates, which the FAQ puts at usually within minutes to a few hours.

Minds are knowledge bases that store documents, tables, files and AI-produced work, and they double as the CMS for the website. The company's comparison page with Happycapy describes 2 kinds: indexable file Minds for PDFs, docs and transcripts, and structured table Minds for live business data such as pipelines, queues and CRMs, shared across every assistant and agent in the space. Assistants are interactive chat that searches your Minds and calls tools, which covers the chatbot use case: an assistant that answers from your own content. Agents run autonomously in the background. The comparison page says they loop for up to 25 steps per run, and that planner agents can call specialist agents through callable agent IDs, nested up to 10 levels deep with safeguards. It also lists cron and one-off scheduled triggers on every space with no cap on the number of scheduled agents.

Every run is on the record. The home page says each run keeps its steps: what the agent read, which tools it called, what it wrote and when, so "you never have to take its word for it". The home page also gives a sample log with lines such as "Skipped 3 duplicates" and "Wrote 6 rows to Research Queue".

For reach beyond the workspace, the navigation lists a CMS API, described as a REST API to read and write your Space's knowledge, and Connectors (MCP) to connect Cursor, Claude and ChatGPT to your Space. A Chrome browser extension puts your assistant in a side panel on any page. Apps are installable capabilities such as a YouTube Toolkit, with a free mode to try, and Skills are ready-made AI blueprints you can launch in one sentence. A Free Tools section lets you try an App's capability with no signup. The comparison page says Knolo uses Pipedream Connect for 3,000+ apps, plus a Discover API for anything else with an endpoint, and that a native Python sandbox is available when you want it but never required. It also lists Gmail and Outlook integrations for email. On day one you can import your ChatGPT or Claude memory, according to the home page.

What the pages state

Pricing has 2 parts. Credits pay for chat, agents and building your site, and they come in one-time packs that never expire: Starter at €29 for 29,000 credits, Plus at €79 for 85,000, Pro at €199 for 230,000 and Scale at €499 for 580,000. Dollar equivalents are listed as approximate (for example about $31 for Starter), and the page says you are charged in your local currency at checkout. Every account starts with 20,000 credits and no card, which the page says is enough to build and run a first system and a first site. The home page calls this "The Keep-What-You-Build Start" and says building never needs a subscription.

The only recurring price is the Site Plan, and only for sites you publish: €20 a month or €200 a year per live site, with the yearly option described as 2 months free. It includes hosting on fast global infrastructure, your own domain with the DNS records spelled out, publishing and rollback as often as you like, and content updates from your Minds without a redeploy, with no usage fees. The page says you can cancel anytime. The site then goes offline but is never deleted, and renewing brings it back without a rebuild. The FAQ confirms that building and editing a site uses credits like everything else.

On architecture, the comparison page says Knolo is cloud-native, multi-tenant and space-scoped, with no local install. That page also contrasts the pricing with a rival's tiered plans, calling Knolo's "no subscription tier, no monthly task cap, no forced upgrade when usage spikes". It is the company's own comparison and reads like it, since the table marks "Knolo wins" on most rows. It does concede that Happycapy wins on watching an agent work in real time and on a built-in dedicated agent email address.

The home page and comparison page name no compliance standards or certifications and no customer counts. The navigation lists a Documentation page on how Spaces, Minds, Assistants, Agents and Triggers work, a Help Center with step-by-step answers, a Blog with guides and playbooks, and a Contact page.

Who it suits and who it does not

Knolo suits a founder or small team that wants one connected setup: a website on its own domain, a memory of its customers and content, and agents that act on every lead without someone triaging an inbox. A service business whose forms feed a pipeline is the example the home page paints, and the credit model suits uneven usage because packs never expire. Teams that want to connect Cursor, Claude or ChatGPT to the same knowledge base through MCP also get a direct route.

The caveats are real. The site says building is done by describing, with "no workflow nodes", so someone who wants to see and drag a flow chart is in a different product. The comparison page admits agents are background-first, so you review run logs and artifacts after the fact rather than watching live. Credits are spent by chat, agents and building, so heavy agent use means topping up packs, and each live site carries its own €20 monthly or €200 yearly plan. The pages name no compliance standards, so a regulated team has to ask the company directly before relying on it.
