From idea to online store in under an hour: inside Hostinger's AI builder. At a YourStory-Hostinger webinar, Hostinger's Dalia Melnikiene walked founders and freelancers through building a full business website, store, and email setup using AI, live. Building a website used to mean hiring a developer, learning design tools, or wrestling with templates that never quite fit. On August 6, 2026, YourStory partnered with Hostinger for a live webinar that set out to change that equation, using artificial intelligence to turn a business idea into a working website in under an hour. The session featured Dalia Melnikiene, a product designer who has spent over three years building Hostinger's AI builder. The webinar was aimed at founders, freelancers, creators, and small business owners looking to establish an online presence without technical expertise. Watching a website come together in real time. Melnikiene began with a live demonstration, taking a business idea suggested by the audience, a consulting website called Strategic Strokes, and building it from scratch using the AI Builder. She showed how a short prompt describing the business could generate a full template, then customized it by changing colors, images, and text. She also demonstrated how to add a new section using AI, generate a blog page and its content, and explained why this matters for visibility: "It's in general very beneficial to have a blog page on your site because it helps Google to rank your site better." From there, she added WhatsApp integration for customer communication and set up a store with physical products, along with options for services, appointments, and gift cards. Describing how much the AI handles versus the user, Melnikiene said, "You are the manager. AI is your worker, so give work for the AI." Getting the business ready to go live. Using a test payment method, Melnikiene walked through the full purchase flow before adding manual payments and Razorpay for the Indian market. She then set up a custom domain and a professional business email and introduced Kodee, Hostinger's AI agent, which can audit a website, flag areas for improvement, and generate copy on request. She closed the demonstration by adding a subscription form and connecting it to Hostinger's email marketing tool, showing how form submissions and new contacts flow directly into campaign setup. A poll during the session found that 84% of attendees had tried building a website before, and 53% had given up partway through. Melnikiene pointed to that gap as the reason the AI Builder exists, noting, "It's really very quick, up to an hour, and I hope you will never, never give up again." Audience questions covered migration, SEO, and the limits of the AI. The session closed with a lively Q&A, with questions coming in from the moment the demonstration began. Attendees who already had websites on platforms like WordPress wanted to know if they could move to Hostinger, and Melnikiene confirmed migration is straightforward, pointing to Hostinger's managed WordPress environment, which includes an AI assistant that can handle routine tasks like updating prices or applying discount codes automatically. Several questions came in around scale and functionality. For businesses expecting their catalog to grow into hundreds or thousands of product pages, Melnikiene suggested WordPress with WooCommerce may be a better fit than the drag-and-drop AI Builder, since it was built to handle that kind of volume, and recommended asking Kodee for advice tailored to a specific business. On dynamic functionality, she demonstrated adding elements like running text and image galleries, along with animation options for individual sections, showing that the builder isn't limited to static pages. SEO came up repeatedly. Melnikiene was clear that publishing a website does not automatically guarantee a spot on Google. Search engines need to crawl and index a site first, and rankings after that depend on factors like site speed, mobile usability, backlinks, and competition. She walked attendees back through the built-in SEO settings, which flag recommended keywords for each page and can generate content through the AI assistant. On how much control users have over the AI, she explained that the standard builder works from business context and a prompt but is not fully agentic, while a more advanced, agentic version is available for deeper customization at an additional cost. She also confirmed that the platform can generate images but not videos, and that a JavaScript-based website could be hosted on Hostinger's web and cloud hosting plans, though she deferred the finer technical details to Hostinger's developer team. Melnikiene left attendees with a final note: Hostinger's AI assistant remains available anytime to answer questions, recommend a plan, or help pick up where the demonstration left off.

Want to supercharge your business with AI? Here's how with Hostinger AI agents. Last updated: August 27, 2026 at 10:19 AM Published: August 27, 2026 In partnership with Hostinger Getting started with AI can be such a difficult thing. Or rather, getting results is hard, because you need to train staff to use the tools and prepare your corporate data to be ingested by the data to make sense of it. What if you can skip much of that and scale up your AI use easily with user-friendly agents as you build up your business around the new technology? That's what Hostinger, which provides a platform to build and run everything online, is offering with its suite of smart, easy-to-use AI agents. Want to get started by creating a new, customised website that sells your latest merchandise? Track sales and have a report every morning? Get more sales leads for the coming quarter? Hostinger's built-in AI agents get you started in hours. The difference with other AI tools is how easy things are. Building an entire website now just requires a few prompts in "human language" - and the result isn't some generic template but one that can be customised in its look and feel down to the colours of the site. Within the Hostinger Web interface, you can tell the AI agent what you want for the website and it vibe-codes for you with an accurate preview of what you see in the output before your publish the changes. Of course, like all AI tools, the devil is in the details. You still need to fill up your vibe-coded website with content that matters. Plus, you have to customise it to your brand. Discover more Business & Industrial Engineering & Technology The big thing is you can ask the AI agent to do all that and it's a lot smarter than generic AI tools out there because it has access to your website's controls and will ask you for permission, for example, to set up accounts when needed. The code is also easily accessible so if you wish to change anything, from a wording in the headline to the look and feel of a banner, you can do so. Of course, there is also a graphical interface for some of the simpler changes, much like how you'd edit on your PC. What this means is that businesses large and small can get their websites, from a microsite to a main e-commerce site up and running quickly. That's just the start, of course. Hostinger offers a whole lot of AI tools that boost your business by connecting the dots automatically when you set up a website or share data on the platform to allow the AI agents to do their work.

Get an automated report every morning by telling the AI agent to summarise sales performance on it. Perhaps more importantly, get the AI agent to suggest how to improve your sales. Should you boost your advertising budget, for example, or drop prices to match your rivals? You still make the big decisions but AI is a guide, giving you timely and fast analysis.

You can also choose Open Claw, Hermes Agent or n8n, depending on the complexity of tasks and the control you need to fine-tune their responses. Yes, you can message these agents remotely and tell them to carry out a task as well. So, if you've always wanted to get started with AI agents to help with your business, this is an affordable way to get started at prices from under US$10 a month.

And you manage them easily through the Hostinger interface without having to create separate accounts or configuring API keys. For convenience, Hostinger AI Router also lets you power any AI app through a simple gateway, using a single balance of AI credits for GPT, Claude, DeepSeek or Grok rather than managing multiple accounts.
