About Pico
Pico is a text-to-app platform that lets anyone build shareable web apps without writing code. Users describe the app they want in natural language, and its GPT-powered builder generates a working application that can be refined through further prompts rather than editors or code. Apps deploy instantly to a shareable URL and can embed ChatGPT capabilities for visitors, making Pico popular with entrepreneurs, consultants, and small businesses creating internal tools, landing pages, lead magnets, and small interactive experiences.
