Adding AI Sites, AI Stores, and AI Front Desk Agents to help entrepreneurs build, grow, and run their businesses without the need for technical expertise
Jacksonville, Florida, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bluehost, the all-in-one platform trusted by millions of small businesses to build, grow, and operate online, today announced its next-generation AI business platform for small businesses, introducing intelligent AI agents that can build websites, run online stores, generate leads, answer customer questions, and book appointments without the need for technical expertise. These solutions are built specifically for the needs of small businesses, giving entrepreneurs the capabilities of much larger businesses without the complexity and cost.
“We’ve been helping small businesses go online for decades, and our next chapter is to help them run their businesses,” said Sachin Puri, CEO of Bluehost Group and Network Solutions Group. “AI shouldn’t stop at building websites. AI should help you respond to customers, manage reservations, sell products, and grow your business. Our vision is simple: to give every small business the same functionality as much larger companies without the complexity or cost. It’s based on two principles: It saves time, reduces complexity, and helps entrepreneurs focus on serving their customers instead of learning another tool.
Bluehost AI site builder: Create a fully functional site in minutes
Bluehost’s Agent Site Builder greatly simplifies launching a business-ready, in-brand site with built-in security and well-structured content and metadata for SEO. AI agents ask targeted questions about your business and automatically create branded websites with optimized content, metadata, and built-in security. Once launched, owners can instruct agents to change anything on their site, from changing images to updating colors to amending or adding content, simply by explaining what they want.
Bluehost AI Store: An online store built and operated through conversation
Bluehost AI Store helps entrepreneurs launch, manage, and optimize their online stores through simple conversations, from easy setup and AI-driven merchandising with SEO and AEO to day-to-day operations and optimization for growth. Small business owners can take advantage of agent store management with an AI command center that easily customizes the design and provides action plans and reports. Agents run automatically to track orders, catalogs, customers, payments, and channels, make proactive recommendations, and flag revenue risks like product mispricing or out-of-stock alerts before they impact sales. Bluehost’s AI Store requires no WooCommerce experience and works with a company’s existing hosting and Bluehost.
Bluehost AI Front Desk Agents: AI receptionists and sales assistants are available 24/7.
For service-based businesses such as salons, clinics, consultants, and home service providers, missed calls and after-hours inquiries can mean lost revenue. AI front desk agents are trained on your company website, business content, and documents to provide accurate, personalized responses that align with your brand. Instantly engage every visitor, determine their intent, connect seamlessly to your Google Calendar to guide them to reservations, and manage availability in real-time.
“Most of the AI tools that are gaining traction today are built for companies and people who are already comfortable with code editors and design systems,” said Salim Ali, chief marketing officer at Bluehost. “Our customers aren’t developers. They don’t have to think like developers. We’re building for florists, electricians, and therapists who want a site or store that they run, and who want to do business and still take appointments.”
In addition to the new agent Bluehost AI Site, AI Store, and AI Front Desk Agent, Bluehost’s complete AI suite for small businesses includes:
- AI domain name generator Generate relevant and available domain names based on industry, brand, and location
- AI All Access Pack All-in-one access to ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok
- AI content and copywriting tools Customizable to your brand voice and optimized for search
- AI agent hosting: Developer-grade solution for deploying AI agents and Vibecode apps
- gator claw AI agent builder: A visual builder to create, deploy, and manage autonomous AI agents without the complexity traditionally required.
