Locus Founder — an AI cofounder that builds your internet business

Locus Founder is an AI cofounder for internet businesses — the AI agent that<br>builds and runs the whole business for you, not just one piece of it. You<br>describe an idea in plain language — over text or the web — and the agent does<br>the work between the idea and the customer: it builds a real website on its own<br>domain, runs cold outreach from your inbox, creates and tunes ad campaigns,<br>keeps a CRM of every lead and customer, and wires in Stripe to take payments.<br>You keep the final word — anything customer-facing waits for your approval.

Where an AI website builder or a no-code app builder gives you a tool to operate<br>yourself, and a general AI agent answers questions, Locus is an AI business<br>builder that executes: the fastest way to start an online business with AI and<br>build an internet business end to end, without writing code or hiring a team.

What the agent does on its own

Builds and ships a website on a custom domain (usually live within the first hour)

Writes and sends cold outreach from your inbox

Creates, runs, and kills ad campaigns

Maintains a CRM of every lead and customer

Collects payments through your own Stripe account

Pricing

Locus is free to start — a 24-hour free trial with $5 of agent credit and a<br>card on file; cancel before it ends and you are never charged. To take a<br>business live, Founder Monthly is $25 for your first month, then<br>$50/month , and Founder Annual is $500/year (two months free) — each<br>with a monthly agent-credit allowance. Customer payments settle into your own<br>Stripe account; Locus adds a 1% fee per charge. Only once a business clears<br>$1,000 of revenue in a calendar month does Locus take 5% of revenue above<br>that line — the first $1,000 each month is entirely yours. You own everything<br>— domain, customers, content, and Stripe account — and can export it in one<br>click.

Common questions

Do I need to know how to code?

No. If you can send a text message, you can run a workspace — nothing to install and nothing to learn before you start.

What can the agent actually do on its own?

It ships a website, writes and sends cold outreach, runs and tunes ad campaigns, keeps a CRM, and collects payments through Stripe — and it kills what isn't working.

How much control do I have?

Full control. Nothing that reaches a customer — a message, an ad, a price, a charge — goes out without your explicit approval.

Who owns the business Locus builds?

You do — the domain, the customers, the content, and the Stripe account. Locus is the cofounder, not the owner, and everything exports in one click.

What does Locus cost?

It's free to start with a 24-hour trial ($5 of agent credit, nothing charged until you subscribe). To take a business live, Founder Monthly is $25 your first month, then $50/month; Founder Annual is $500/year. Customer payments go to your own Stripe account with a 1% fee, and Locus takes 5% of monthly revenue only above $1,000.

How fast does something go live?

Usually a real website is live on a domain within the first hour. Outreach starts within a day, and most founders see a first customer reply within the first few days.

Will the AI do something I don't want?

No. Nothing customer-facing — a message, an ad, a price, a charge — goes out without your explicit approval, and you can pause a workspace anytime.

Can I cancel?

Yes, anytime. Cancel during the free trial and you're never charged; after that you keep access through the period you've paid for.
