What you can do from the chat
Have it built
Describe your business, or give the address of your old site, and you get a finished draft to look at. No account needed.
Check a domain name
Ask about the name you like and find out whether it is free. No account needed.
Change it in plain words
Text and design: "add the summer opening hours" or "make it warmer". With your Palimpalem account.
Publish it
When you are happy, ask it to publish. It shows you what will change first. With your account.
Your own domain and your own email address are set up afterwards in your Palimpalem account, in the browser rather than in the chat, where you can choose and pay at your own pace. Your assistant can tell you whether a name is free and explain the next step. Own domain · Own email

Step-by-step guide
Pick your assistant. Menus change now and then, and each platform decides who may add custom connectors, so every guide says what you need and the date it was last checked.
Claude
Checked on 11 November 2026
What you needA Claude account. Custom connectors are available on free and paid plans (one on the free plan). On Team or Enterprise, whoever manages the organization adds it first.
- Go to claude.ai, open Customize, then Connectors.
- Click + Add and choose Add custom connector.
- Enter the name Palimpalem and paste the address. Click Continue.
- Leave the sign-in settings as Claude detects them and click Add.
- Click Connect. A Palimpalem window opens: enter your email, type the 6-digit code you receive, and approve.
- In a new chat, click + at the bottom left, open Connectors and switch Palimpalem on.
For developers: in Claude Code a single line in the terminal does it, claude mcp add --transport http palimpalem https://palimpalem.com/mcp.
ChatGPT
Checked on 11 November 2026
What you needA ChatGPT plan with "developer mode" (currently Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu; on business plans an admin may have to switch it on first). It is a beta feature.
- In ChatGPT open Settings, then Apps (formerly "Connectors").
- Under Advanced settings, switch on Developer mode.
- Click Create. Name: Palimpalem. Paste the address. Authentication: OAuth.
- Accept the notice that ChatGPT has not reviewed this app, and click Create.
- When asked, sign in to Palimpalem with your email and the code we send you.
- In a new chat click +, choose developer mode and switch Palimpalem on.
Palimpalem is not yet in the ChatGPT app directory, which is why you add it by hand this way. If you do not see "Developer mode", your plan or country does not have it yet, and we cannot change that from here.
Gemini
Checked on 11 November 2026
What you needA personal Google account. Adding your own apps by address is open to only some users so far and depends on country, language and plan (Google calls it "Gemini Spark"). With a work or school account it usually does not appear.
- Go to gemini.google.com and sign in with your personal account.
- Open Customize (or Settings) and look for Connected apps or Connectors.
- If you see Add custom app, click it, paste the address and click Next.
- Sign in to Palimpalem with your email and the code when asked.
- Keep Gemini activity history switched on; connected apps do not work without it.
If the option to add your own app is missing, your account does not have access yet and there is no way around that. Google is opening it up gradually. Meanwhile you can use Palimpalem in any of the others.
Mistral
Checked on 11 November 2026
What you needA Le Chat account with admin rights (whoever opens a personal account is admin by default). It is a beta feature, and the menu may be called "Intelligence" or "Context".
- Go to chat.mistral.ai, open the side panel, then Intelligence (or Context) and Connectors.
- Click + Add connector and choose Custom MCP connector.
- Name: Palimpalem. Paste the address and click Connect.
- A Palimpalem window opens: your email, the code we send you, and approve.
- In each new chat, switch Palimpalem on in the tools menu.
Mistral warns that custom connectors point to servers it has not reviewed. That is normal, and you can remove the access whenever you like.
Perplexity
Checked on 11 November 2026
What you needA paid Perplexity plan (Pro, Max or Enterprise). On Enterprise, an admin must allow custom connectors first.
- Open Settings and go to Connectors.
- Click + Custom connector and choose Remote.
- Name: Palimpalem. Paste the address. Authentication: OAuth.
- Tick the box acknowledging the risks of custom connectors and click Add.
- Finish signing in on the tab that opens: your email and the code we send you.
- In a new thread, switch Palimpalem on as a connector before you ask.
The menu names come from the current public guides. If yours are called something else, look for "custom connector" or "MCP".
The first time: sign in with a code
You do not need an account to create a draft or check a domain. To save the site, change it or publish it, your assistant sends you to a Palimpalem page: you enter your email, a 6-digit code arrives, done. No password to invent. If you have no account yet, one is created when you save your first draft.
Prompts to copy
Paste one into your assistant. Swap in your own business and town.
Build
Use Palimpalem to build the website for my dog grooming salon in Bristol: opening hours, location, a price list and an enquiry form. In English.
From my old site
Use Palimpalem to rebuild my current website https://www.my-business.co.uk. I want it to look modern and work well on a phone.
Domain
Use Palimpalem to check whether bristolpawsgrooming.com is free, and suggest two alternatives.
Save it
I like the draft. Save it in Palimpalem as my website, with my email: your-email@example.com.
Change
On my Palimpalem website, change the opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday 9 to 5, closed Sunday and Monday. And make the home page sound friendlier.
Publish
Show me how my Palimpalem website looks right now and, if everything is fine, publish it.
These replies are generated by an AI, not a person. Always read what it writes before you publish anything.
You stay in charge
- Palimpalem only receives what your assistant sends to our tools, for example the description of your business. We do not see the rest of your conversations.
- Nothing is published unless you ask, and you are shown what will happen first.
- You can withdraw access at any time: in your account under "My details", section "Connected AI assistants", click "Remove access".
- Paying, registering a domain or setting up email is always done by you, in the browser. Your assistant never moves money.
Frequently asked questions
Does connecting cost anything?
Connecting Palimpalem is free, and so is a draft. Publishing and using your own domain and email depend on your Palimpalem plan; it is all on the Pricing page. Your AI assistant's own plan is separate and handled with them. See pricing
Which assistant should I use?
The one you already use. Any that lets you add a custom connector by address works; the steps for five of them are above. If yours is not listed, you can also build the site in the Palimpalem chat.
Do I need a Palimpalem account?
Not for a draft or a domain check. To save, change and publish you do; it takes a minute with an emailed code.
What happens to my data?
We only receive what the assistant sends us to do the task. More detail is in the privacy policy. Privacy policy
I do not see the option to add a connector. What now?
It depends on your plan, your country or, in a company, on whoever administers the account. Each platform decides that, and we cannot change it. In the meantime you can build your site in the Palimpalem chat.
