What is BuildShip?
BuildShip lets you build backend workflows, APIs and tools for AI agents on a visual canvas, either by connecting ready-made nodes or by describing the flow in plain language. It suits makers and teams who want no-code speed but still need to edit the code.
Each node can be opened to tweak its code or add custom scripts, which helps when debugging or handling edge cases. A large node library connects to data sources, outside tools and agents, and finished flows can be exposed as API endpoints for apps.
Runs are billed in credits based on execution time, with top-up packs available on every plan. Add-ons include a custom domain and a no-cold-start option for faster responses, and Enterprise offers self-hosting in your own cloud.
