New Macaly Agent - Nobody tells you what you can ask AI to build
by•
The Macaly agent can do much more than most people realize. So we’re showing 15 things you can ask it to do, like generate a landing page from a YouTube video, redesign a website from a URL, turn a spreadsheet into a dashboard, set up a database, add authentication and user roles, add AI features to your app, and much more.

Hey Product Hunt community!
Today is our 4th Product Hunt launch overall and the first one after the acquisition.
Since the beginning of the year we’ve been moving fast. Besides improving product performance, we’re focusing heavily on expanding the agent’s skills and what it can do. Because we believe when the agent can do more, you can build better things.
While watching people use Macaly we noticed something interesting. Users sometimes try a few obvious prompts but don't go deep. Not because the agent is limited, but because they don’t know what to ask it to build.
So we decided to show it.
Today we’re sharing 15 things you can ask the Macaly agent to build:
Turn a YouTube video into a landing page
Redesign a website from a URL
Turn a spreadsheet or PDF into pages and dashboards
Generate a database for your app
Add login, sign-up and user roles
Build dashboards and admin panels
Add AI features like chatbots or smart search
Match the style of a screenshot or design reference
Create forms that store submissions in a database
Send automated emails like confirmations or alerts
…and a few more.
Have an idea for a new skill? Share it in the comments. If we like it, we’ll reward you.
We also added a special launch coupon for 33% off your first three months. And there’s a way to get extra credits on the new landing page if you look closely.

@josef_kettner Welcome back warrior! Happy to have you.
Wow! Really cool guys)
Does the "add AI features" capability include semantic
search or is it limited to basic AI calls? Also,
can generated apps connect to existing databases or only use Macaly's
built-in ones?
Macaly
@denious Thanks! :) The AI tools do include semantic search using the semantic grep.
Right now we only support only built-in databases. Direct connection to external ones aren't supported out of the box.
Hey folks, you rock. I love the ease when creating stuff on Macaly. In the beginning i remember there were some problems with stability, but those are solved. I also loved the speed of your development in so few people. I keep my fingers crossed for you.

@pavel_synek1 Thanks a lot, Pavel. Really appreciate the support. We like to keep our agent busy… no days off.
Congrats on the launch!
The landing page from YouTube video feature caught my eye — that's a creative use case.
How accurate is the output?
Macaly
@moonblood2077 Thank you, Cho! It's very accurate. The agent watches the whole video, understands the vibe, and turns it into a page. Last week I took the song Angry by the Rolling Stones - https://youtu.be/_mEC54eTuGw and turned it into this https://angry.macaly.app
@jurajm_ Wow, the logic is simple yet intuitive. I'll try it after work. Cheering for you!
Are your website designs better than others?
Macaly
@daniyar_abdukarimov some people like our designs better than from other tools. In my experience if you share share image, screenshot or some drawing of style you like. Your result will be very close to what you asking for.

The discovery problem is real — most people don't know what to ask, so they never push the tool past the basics. Showing 15 concrete use cases is probably more useful than any onboarding flow. The part I'm curious about is how you handle the gap between what the agent can do in demo mode versus what actually works in someone's specific stack — that's usually where expectations break. Does it adapt to context or is it more of a fixed menu?
Turn a YouTube video into a landing page? How is this even real? That's amazing! Congrats on the launch, @petrbrzek!

Good luck guys!
