A full walkthrough of the CloudAIPilot platform — what each part does, how they connect, and what you can do at every step.
Your infrastructure, your accounts — CloudAIPilot connects to them.
The first thing you do in CloudAIPilot is connect your existing cloud provider accounts. This is done through a secure API key or OAuth flow — you keep full ownership and billing control of your own accounts. CloudAIPilot connects to AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure, and DigitalOcean. You can connect as many accounts as you need, across any combination of providers.
Once a cloud account is connected, CloudAIPilot can provision servers, read resource lists, manage storage, and let the AI Pilot access your infrastructure with full context. You own the cloud. We manage it.
AWS IAM credentials, GCP service account, Azure service principal, or DigitalOcean personal access token. No root credentials required.
CloudAIPilot validates access, discovers existing servers and storage, and makes them available in your dashboard instantly.
Connect a personal AWS account and a client's DigitalOcean account. Manage both from the same platform view.
A new production server in 3 minutes — without touching a terminal.
Choose a provisioning flow. The Guided Flow asks a short series of questions — which cloud, which region, what purpose, what software stack — and then handles everything automatically. The Advanced Flow gives you full control over machine type, OS version, custom stack configuration, and SSH key assignment.
Either way, CloudAIPilot provisions the server on your cloud account, installs and configures the software stack, secures SSH, configures the firewall, installs the monitoring agent, and registers the server in your dashboard. You can also provision entirely through the AI Pilot: "Provision a 2-core server on AWS in Singapore with LEMP stack, under $20/month."
WordPress in 60 seconds. Any app in minutes.
Once a server is running, navigate to Sites & Apps to add your sites and applications. CloudAIPilot auto-discovers any existing sites on the server at connection time, so nothing you have already deployed is hidden from you.
One-click install of WordPress with the domain you specify. Site is live with SSL active within 60 seconds. WP-specific backups and management available immediately.
Add an app by specifying the domain and root directory. Point a GitHub repository at it and enable CI/CD. Push to deploy from that point forward.
Clone any app to the same server (for staging) or to a different server or provider entirely. Useful for client handoffs, environment duplication, or migration testing.
Connect a GitHub repository, set the production branch. Every push to that branch triggers an automatic zero-downtime deployment. Rollback to any prior deployment in one click.
Your data, protected, automated, and stored in your own cloud accounts.
Navigate to the Backups section of a server or site to set up automated backup schedules. Connect a cloud storage bucket (S3, GCS, Azure Blob, or DO Spaces) as the destination, set the backup type, frequency, and retention policy — and your backup schedule is active.
CloudAIPilot supports six backup types: full server snapshot, database-only, site files, WordPress-specific, configuration, and log archive. Every backup is encrypted before it leaves your server and stored in a bucket you own.
Know what is happening before your users do.
The monitoring agent installed during provisioning begins streaming metrics immediately. Navigate to a server's Monitoring tab to view real-time and historical charts. Use the time range selector across 7 windows from 5 minutes to 30 days.
Alerts are configured in the Alerts section. Create a rule — for example, "notify me if CPU stays above 85% for 5 minutes" — and assign it to one or more notification channels. Configure per-member delivery so developers receive deployment alerts and operations staff receive server health alerts.
CPU, memory, disk, disk I/O, network throughput, load average, service health, uptime, and reboot history — all tracked continuously.
Email, Slack, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, Discord, and Webhooks. Route different alert types to different channels.
Enable before planned downtime. All alerts are suppressed for that server until you disable it, preventing noise during legitimate maintenance windows.
Ask it anything. Give it a task. It always confirms before acting.
The AI Pilot is a floating chat widget accessible on every page of the platform. It has full context about your infrastructure — every connected server, its metrics, recent activity, running services, applied configurations, and backup status.
You choose the mode that fits the task: Ask for questions and investigation, Plan to review a mapped-out approach before anything runs, and Agent for full end-to-end task execution. In Agent mode, the AI still confirms before any modification — you approve once per significant action.
Your operations log. Human actions, AI actions, system events — all in one place.
The Activity Center tracks everything that happens in your infrastructure. Navigate to it from the main menu to see four tabs: Active Processes shows everything currently running in real time; History shows all completed operations; Audit Log records every team member action for accountability; AI Activity lists every task the AI has performed.
Filter by server, date range, action type, and outcome. Every entry includes who initiated it (human or AI), when it ran, how long it took, and whether it succeeded or failed.
Manage your files and storage without leaving the platform.
Cloud Storage gives you a visual bucket browser for S3, GCS, Azure Blob, and DigitalOcean Spaces. Browse objects, transfer files between servers and buckets, and manage storage that is used by your backup system — all without needing the provider's own console.
File Manager gives you browser-based access to any server's file system. Navigate directories, create and rename files, upload from your local machine, edit files with syntax highlighting, manage permissions (CHMOD), and send files directly to connected cloud storage buckets. No FTP client or SCP required for routine file operations.
These features are already planned and in development. Founding Members get access to every new feature as it ships, at no additional cost.
Same seamless CI/CD pipeline integration, extended to GitLab and Bitbucket repositories.
Switch PHP versions per site or per server from the dashboard. Manage multiple PHP versions on a single server side by side.
Drag-and-drop pipeline builder for multi-step deployments — build, test, deploy, notify — no YAML required.
Deploy and manage Docker containers from the dashboard. Pull images, run containers, manage volumes and networks visually.
Create and manage load balancers across providers. Distribute traffic across server pools visually through the platform.
AI-powered cloud cost optimisation. Analyse your spend across all providers, identify waste, and get specific recommendations to reduce your bill.
Critical alert delivery via SMS and WhatsApp — for incidents that happen when you are away from email and chat.
Vultr, Linode/Akamai, Hetzner, and OVHcloud integrations are all in the roadmap.
Secure lifetime access at a founding price. Platform launches June 2026. Every new feature included, forever.
