Who actually makes the change?
An AI coding agent. It reads the repository and edits the files on its own, the way a developer would on a branch. Webamend is what stands around it: the rules it must obey and the preview before anything ships. Every change it makes is recorded.
Do I have to change my site to use Webamend?
No. Webamend edits the repository as it is, whatever it is built with: Astro, Next.js, Hugo, Eleventy, Jekyll or hand-written HTML. There is no CMS to install and no schema to define. You add one policy file that says what may be touched, and the site keeps its repository and its build.
Do my clients need to understand any of this?
No. They see a chat box and a publish button. They never see a repository or a build log, and there is nothing to install. They write what they want changed the way they would say it to you, and the agent does the rest.
How long does setup take?
Usually one business day per website. We connect the repository and the host by hand rather than making you work through a wizard, so it is right the first time. You get an email when it is ready.
What do you need from me to get started?
The GitHub repository and the Netlify site for each website, an OpenRouter key for the model, and the email addresses of the clients allowed to request changes on each one. One short form after checkout covers it.
What is OpenRouter, and do I need an account?
OpenRouter is the service that routes each request to whichever model the agent runs on. Yes, you need an account there. You add your OpenRouter key when we connect your sites, and OpenRouter charges the tokens each change uses to your credit, on top of the plan. Most changes come to fractions of a cent.
Which model does the agent run on, and can I pin one?
Each request carries a budget rather than a model name, and we map budgets to models: free for a wording tweak, stronger for a new section. If your client work needs a specific model or provider, we can pin it on a custom plan.
Does the client site change address?
No. Your client keeps their domain and their host. Webamend only edits the repository behind it. The editor your client signs in to is a separate address: a Webamend domain on Studio, or a domain you control on Agency. Choosing a domain per site inside Webamend is on the roadmap.
Can I brand the editor as my agency?
On Agency, yes: the editor runs on your own domain, so a client never sees a third-party product in the address bar. Deeper white-labelling, including your own mark and palette, is a custom plan.
Who can request a change, and can I see who asked?
Only the addresses you name, per website. Everyone signs in with a code sent to their email, and every request is recorded against the person who made it, so there is an audit trail when a client asks why something changed.
How much control do I keep over what they can touch?
All of it, and you set it once rather than approving each change. A policy file in the repository fixes which paths may ever be edited and how large a change may be. Your clients cannot see it or change it, and work that breaks a rule is blocked before anything is committed.
What if a change is wrong?
Nothing publishes on its own. Your client sees a preview first and decides; if they do not publish, nothing happens. A published change was a merged pull request, so Undo reverts the merge, and you can revert it yourself from Git like any other commit.
Does this replace my CMS, or my deploy pipeline?
Neither. Webamend edits the repository you already have and waits for the preview your host already builds. Your stack and your review process stay exactly as they are.
What if I take on more client sites?
Move the slider and your subscription follows, because you are billed per website. Studio covers 3 to 8 websites, Agency 9 to 20. Past that, or for a setup we do not list, talk to us about a custom plan.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from the billing portal linked in the footer. Client repositories and sites are untouched: cancelling stops Webamend editing them and removes nothing.
Can I run Webamend on my own infrastructure?
Yes. Webamend is open source under AGPL 3.0. Run it on your own machines, on as many client sites as you like, for nothing. You supply your own OpenRouter key and do your own setup and updates.
