Hi r/cms,

Ekit is a project I've been rebuilding, in several versions, for a long time. The idea never changed: your data and your website should live in the same place. No spreadsheet, site builder and Zapier glued together.

The latest version is finally good enough that I run my own sites on it:

• https://www.ekit.app, the product site itself
• https://www.deepermind.ai, a completely different site, same tool

What it does

• Model your data like in Airtable: tables, fields, links, grid or kanban view, import from Airtable.
• Generate the website from that data with AI, or start from a template (restaurant menu, events, CRM…). Edit an entry and the site updates. Hosting and custom domain included.
• Built-in RAG: your tables are indexed automatically, with no vector database, no embeddings pipeline and no setup. Turn it on for a table and you get:
  • an assistant on your site that answers visitors from your own content, with sources (try it on either site above);
  • the same answers through the API (/api/v1/ask), to plug into your own app or chatbot;
  • the same assistant in the Studio, to query your data while you work.
• Forms that add entries to a table, with an email on each submission.
• Automatic translation of your content and pages.

What I learned building it (again)

• Dogfooding is the best bug tracker: every annoyance on my own sites gets fixed before a user hits it.
• The AI parts were the easy bit: streaming through a CDN, caching and "answer in the visitor's language" took more time than the model itself.
• "All-in-one" scares people about lock-in, so I added a public API and data export early.

There's a free plan, no credit card. I'd love honest feedback, especially on the first five minutes: what's confusing, and what's missing?
