About Trickle
Trickle is an AI app builder that turns plain-language prompts into working web apps and websites in seconds, complete with a built-in database, design generation, and hosting. It's aimed at non-technical founders, freelancers, and small teams who want to prototype and launch functional products without writing code. Its main differentiator is the all-in-one 'agentic canvas' that bundles 150+ AI models plus image/video generation, database, and design into a single build flow rather than requiring separate tools.
