Pickaxe is a no-code platform for building, deploying, and monetizing custom AI tools. The company positions it as a "Shopify for agent-powered businesses," meant for people who want to build AI agents for a specific job and sell them to clients or an audience. An agent is either a chatbot or a form powered by a prompt.
Agents can draw on documents, websites, videos, special instructions, and API endpoints. They can be packaged into branded portals, which Pickaxe calls Studios, with billing, access control, and usage tracking built in. The homepage lists lead qualification bots, coaching companions, client intake assistants, AI tutors, and consultant proposal generators as typical builds.
A builder creates an agent in a visual editor by writing role instructions, picking a model from more than 50 options, attaching a knowledge base, and adding actions. An automatic AI builder can write prompts for users who are unsure where to start. Agents can be tested in the editor before they go live.
Once an agent is ready, it can be embedded on a website, deployed to a messaging channel, or placed in a Studio. The Studio hosts the agent as a standalone web app, manages users, and collects payments. Each response an agent generates uses credits, where one credit equals $1 of usage cost.
On the building side, Pickaxe offers a no-code builder, an auto-updating knowledge base that connects 14+ content types with automatic daily syncs, and an AI form builder that collects structured data conversationally and can generate PDFs. Users can switch between 50+ models and compare cost, speed, and quality.
On the selling side, Studios bring custom domains, sidebar navigation, user accounts, and integrated billing. Access control supports public or invite-only groups with per-user usage budgets, while monetization supports per-use, subscription, or tiered pricing through Stripe. Operators also get conversation tracking, persistent user memory, an API, and a command-line tool.
