Do I pay for anything in the chat?

No. Nothing is ordered or paid in the chat. The planner shows its prices and you see your total before you pay, on RunCabin's own checkout page. The build starts at $499, then hosting is $39.99 a month or $479.88 a year.

Can I ask ChatGPT or Claude to start my business website?

Q: Can I ask ChatGPT or Claude to start my business website?

Yes. Type this into your AI assistant: Start my website planner at runcabin.com/planner.md. That address is a short page RunCabin wrote for AI assistants. It tells the assistant how to start RunCabin's website planner in the app you are using. In Claude with RunCabin connected, the planner's questions come up right in the chat. In an assistant that can only read web pages, you get a link to the same planner in your browser.

Q: What does the planner ask me?

It starts with your business name, your name, your email and your phone number. The email is where your website's forms will send. Then it asks about your trade and where you work, a few questions at a time. RunCabin saves each answer as you go. When it is time for your logo and photos, you get a link to a page where you add them.

You already ask your AI assistant to write the estimate email, fix the wording on a flyer and explain a letter from the county. So it is a fair question: can you ask it to get your website started too?

Yes. It takes one sentence. Type it into Claude, ChatGPT or whichever assistant you use:

Start my website planner at runcabin.com/planner.md

That address is a short page we wrote for AI assistants, not for people. It tells the assistant how to start our website planner in the app you are using. The address matters. We tested the sentence without it, and an assistant that has never heard of RunCabin went looking on the web and came back with the wrong thing. With the address, it reads our page and does what the page says.

What happens next depends on your assistant

Claude, with RunCabin connected. The planner starts right in your chat. Claude shows the questions on a RunCabin card or asks them in its own words, a few at a time, and RunCabin saves your answers as a plan.
Claude, without RunCabin connected. Claude reads our page and shows you a link that adds RunCabin to Claude. You confirm it in Claude and sign in to RunCabin in your browser. After that, the questions come up in the chat.
ChatGPT and other assistants that can open web pages. Expect a link to the planner in your browser. The questions are the same. You answer them on a page and not in the chat.
Claude Code, Cursor and other tools that can add an MCP server. The steps for each one are at runcabin.com/connect. Add RunCabin, then type the sentence.
An assistant that cannot open web pages. It has no way to read the address. Open the planner yourself.

Every one of these ends in the same place: your plan, saved with RunCabin, ready for us to build from.

What the planner asks you

It starts with four things: your business name, your name, your email and your phone number. The email is where your website's forms will send, so use the one you actually check.

Then it asks about your trade and where you work, a few questions at a time. Answer the way you would tell a customer. Short answers are fine. RunCabin saves each answer as you go.

When it is time for your logo and photos, you get a link to a page where you add them from your phone or your computer.

A faster start

If RunCabin is connected to your Claude, put your business name and your email in the same message as the sentence:

Start my website planner at runcabin.com/planner.md. The business is Juniper Street Bakery and my email is ann@juniperstreetbakery.example.

The assistant sends both along with the first step, so you skip ahead. We tell assistants to send only what you said yourself, in that chat. If it gets an answer wrong, tell it, and it changes the answer.

What never happens in the chat

You do not pay there. Nothing is ordered or paid in the chat. The planner shows its prices, and you see your total before you pay on our checkout page.
You do not type a password there. When RunCabin needs you to sign in or confirm your email, that happens on a RunCabin page in your browser.
The assistant does not build the site. It collects your answers. We build the site from them.

Where RunCabin fits

RunCabin builds and runs the site for you. It is built with AI from your answers, and a web developer finishes every page. It goes on your own domain, written to your state's advertising rules for your industry, with a form that sends straight to your inbox. You see a first version within 24 hours of sending your answers and photos.

The build is starting at $499, then $39.99 a month or $479.88 a year for hosting. Optional tools are priced in the questionnaire, and you see the total before you pay.

Rather click than type?
