A simple no-code platform to build, launch, and monetize AI tools.
I have been with Pickaxe since it first launched on AppSumo about a year or 2 ago. It has a lways been a cool product and watching it grow through the years has been really cool. The support team is great; I've seen them fix bugs within an hour of them being reported. I have definitely made my money back by launching and getting paid for my AI tools. It's definitely a really cool product, and I'm super glad it's growing!
Pickaxe has a really awesome back end with all sorts of features. But I think it's about time to work on the user-facing parts (customers of builders' tools).
Super easy!
Yes, but it could use some improvement.
@michelangelo_gioia I love the art but I hope there are more intro on the tool😿 You deserve gets featured.
@sophiaatdola We have a lot of tutorial videos on our youtube channel. Here's a video that provides a broad overview:
Greetings Product Hunt!
Proud user here. I've been with Pickaxe for a few months now. My story is this: I've been writing chatbots since 2017. Since we were all writing them on Messenger, and way before AI was cool. And you know what? I moved every single one of my bots over to Pickaxe.
Why, you might ask? Why not just use GPT? Great question.
Here's the answer: Memory and chains.
GPT's memory has failed me many times. It's frustrating, and I can't tell you how many times I've had to say hey, remember what you said you'd remember? And writing mini GPT's is not easy. It's no code, sure. But most of the time I was stuck there, guessing. GPT's memory is like a hand mirror. It does reflect, but only so much.
Pickaxe's memory is a full length mirror with little wings for different angles. The difference is massive. I can now create personalized bots with memory for days. I can create something that truly serves my clients. I'll never go back to GPT. Never.
Chains is the second part. When you're on GPT, you're dependent. On whatever the company wants to do next. If GPT decides to take a detour or not work on part of the product for a while, you (and your clients) are along for the ride. It's too limiting for me. I want to choose the LLM that's right for my clients, not just force them into a single option.
And now I'm taking a piece of software I spent thousands (and years) building, and putting it on Pickaxe. Since the moment I started to do this, I've known it was the exact right thing to do. It's much easier to work with, and the owners are friendly, accessible, and want to help you write something that changes people's lives. It's a clear opportunity for no coders, and I invite you to check it out.
Been using PickAxe for the past 7 months, and I gotta say—I’m into it.
It makes it super easy to build and launch an MVP AI app for your customers.
Like, no dev team required, no pulling your hair out. Just boom—it's live.
Here’s what I’m loving:
You can create a chat or form-style app and drop it anywhere.
It hooks up to your knowledge base so your app actually knows stuff.
Works with any LLM you want—GPT-4, Claude, whatever you’re into.
Connects to action tools (like Make.com, etc) so your app isn’t just talking—it’s doing.
And yes—it can remember user inputs, which is a game changer for anything even slightly personalized.
Oh—and the website + paywall setup? Done in seconds. No joke.
You can use it to build real solutions, create lead magnets, or launch micro-products—without all the usual tech drama.
All this with a fantastic team behind it, Definitely worth checking out.
I saw a post about your recent migration, and started digging. Could you provide some insight on some of these concerns in your community forum?
Pickaxe is my go-to for all my GPTS. The actions give my chatbots agentic powers and so much more. It’s hard to put into words how this platform has given credence and life to every creative and business idea I’ve ever had. And their customer service..? Second to none. Every single question is answered to the full- and I’m sure at great sacrifice to the founders’ time and health. I’m grateful… thank you 🙏🏽
We built Pickaxe to help knowledge entrepreneurs scale themselves. We're convinced that consulting and other forms of knowledge work can and should be turned into SaaS businesses, and Pickaxe is here to help.
With Pickaxe you can build any type of GPT, just like you can through OpenAI.
We make it easy to deploy those tools as embeds, or put them in branded studios, like creating your own personal chatGPT.
With Pickaxe, you can control exactly who can use your tools, and even charge for access.
We're excited to see what you'll build!
Hi David,
Sorry to hear you're disappointed. To be clear, we repeatedly told folks we would not be extending API access to LTD buyers. We consider it an advanced feature, and it's available on the Pro tier.
We do not block any LLMs from LTD folks, so you may have outdated information there.
As far as support, I think you'll find we have the best support team in the world. We always reply in less than 24 hours if you contact us at info@pickaxe.co. Please reach out with any questions.
As far as your missing feature claims... we actually do have many of the features you mentioned! Though I'll admit, we do put out new features all the time and it can be tough to keep up. See here for all our feature releases: https://community.pickaxe.co/c/releases-and-features/10
It sounds like you don't actually have access to the API, so if you're saying our API is unstable, I'd say you should try it out first.
Best of luck, and we encourage you to keep using Pickaxe, and to upgrade to Pro!
