TL;DR
A regular AI website builder generates a draft you host and maintain yourself. minion.sg is an AI agent on its own private VM that builds your site or web app, hosts it live, and keeps running your business — support, invoicing, lead-gen — 24/7. From S$55/month, versus the S$2,000–15,000+ an agency would quote.

What is an AI website builder?
An AI website builder turns a plain-language brief into a working website — no templates to wrestle, no code. You describe your business and the AI generates pages, copy and layout. The mainstream tools (Wix ADI, Durable, Hostinger Horizons, Framer) are excellent at producing a first draft on their platform.
The catch: a builder hands you a website. It doesn't run your business. The moment you need it to also answer customers, send invoices or chase leads, you're back to buying more tools.
Why an AI agent beats a plain builder
minion.sg is an AI agent — a "minion" — on its own private VM, not a page generator. Because it runs on a real machine with a full toolchain, it can build your site, host it live, and keep working. Ask it to add a contact form and email you submissions, and it does — then files the leads. The website is just the first thing it makes.
What a minion can build and host
- Marketing sites & landing pages — designed, written and live in minutes.
- Web apps — forms, booking pages, portals, simple database-backed tools.
- Always-on hosting — served from the minion's own VM; point a domain in one click.
- Ongoing changes — message it to update copy, add a page or wire up email.
It doesn't stop at the website
The same minion that built your site can run the work behind it: reply to customer emails and WhatsApp, qualify leads, draft and send invoices, research prospects, generate images and content. One hire, many jobs — see the agent that builds and hosts your website.
How it works (about four minutes)
Pick a plan, describe the goal, choose a channel. The platform provisions a dedicated VM, installs the agent runtime, and your minion gets to work building and hosting. No servers, no deploy step. See how it works.
What it costs (and what you save)
Plans start at S$55/month for a Starter minion; extra minions are +S$40/month. A Singapore agency or freelancer typically charges S$2,000–15,000+ to build a comparable site, plus hosting and monthly upkeep — and it still can't answer your customers.

AI website builder FAQ
What is an AI website builder?
An AI website builder turns a plain-language description into a working website. Traditional builders (Wix, Durable, Hostinger) generate a draft you then edit and publish on their platform. minion.sg goes further: a minion — an AI agent on its own private VM — builds the site, hosts it live, and can keep updating it and running other work for you 24/7.
Does the AI builder also host the website?
Yes. Every minion ships with its own web server on a dedicated VM, so the site it builds is hosted live immediately — no separate hosting account, no deploy step. Point a domain at it in one click.
Can it build a web app, not just a landing page?
Yes. Because each minion runs on a real VM with a full toolchain, it can build multi-page sites, forms, portals and database-backed web apps — then host and maintain them.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at S$55/month (Starter, one minion). Additional minions are +S$40/month each. That compares with S$2,000–15,000+ that Singapore agencies and freelancers typically charge to build a site, plus ongoing hosting and maintenance. Savings vary by project.
Do I need any coding or DevOps skills?
No. You describe what you want in plain language and the minion builds and hosts it. There are no servers to manage, no Dockerfiles and no deploy pipeline to set up.
Is it suitable for a small business in Singapore?
Yes — it is built for Singapore SMEs. A minion runs on infrastructure in Singapore (relevant for PDPA and data residency), talks to you and your customers on WhatsApp, Telegram, email or the web, and handles the website plus the busywork behind it.
