We built cto.new to make it possible for anyone to build with great AI code generation tools. Subscription fatigue is real, and to use the latest and best models from OpenAI and Anthropic you previously had to shell out a ton of money. By offering a best-in-class AI code generation agent for the whole software team, running on the best frontier models, completely for free, we're democratizing who gets access to build with AI.

Sounds cool and I will try this, but how does this will make money? How is it sustainable?

Looks like a huge win for indie devs and anyone experimenting with agents. Free access to frontier models without API keys or setup removes one of the biggest friction points in trying new tools. The “just open and build” experience is exactly what a lot of people want when validating ideas quickly. Curious to see how far the agent can go on complex repos, but as a zero-barrier starting point, this is a very generous and very smart launch.

How can you afford to provide it for free? Whats the catch? How will you survive?

@michael_ludden I love the way it can draw tasks and I am able to then decide if it should do what it wants to do or make changes to it. It's really nice, just it needs a bit of time until one gets used to the platform at first. I think you can improve that friction and then it could also become a coders best friend one day and surpass the alternatives available ;)

Free as in beer! 🍻

Show us what you can build with free access to the world's best models.

I was blown away when I saw cto.new a few weeks ago! I'm super excited to be part of their launch today.

Btw, if you use the link in the PH listing, you'll skip the waitlist (not sure hog long that will last though 😜)

Congrats on the launch!
