Turn your business data into no-code portals with AI

A portal is a login-protected space where specific people (clients, vendors, partners, employees, or members) can view data and take actions on it, but only the actions you allow. Unlike a public website, everything behind the login is personalized and permission-controlled, so each user sees only what's relevant to them.

Any workflow where outside people need access to your data without getting access to everything. The most common are client portals for sharing project status, files, and invoices; vendor and partner portals for orders, inventory, and documents; employee and intranet portals for internal tools and directories; and member portals for communities, associations, and course access. The underlying build is the same each time — data, logins, permissions — so one portal often expands to cover several of these as your needs grow.

With Softr, the fastest path is to describe your portal to the AI Co-Builder, which generates the interface, a connected database, user logins, and permissions in minutes. From there you refine everything visually, so you're never locked into re-prompting. You can also start from a pre-built template or build from scratch. All three paths produce a real, working portal, not just a prototype.

Yes, when the platform handles security natively. Softr portals come with authentication, role-based permissions, and record-level data controls built in, so users only ever access their own data. Softr is SOC 2 Type II compliant and GDPR-ready, with data hosted in Europe, which is the standard most client-facing and regulated businesses need.

Softr pairs AI generation with a secure no-code foundation, so your portal works the moment you publish it, with no developer needed. It's built as a dedicated interface with granular user groups, so different people see entirely different parts of the same app. And it runs on its own native database, with client logins priced separately from builder seats, so opening a portal to a large client base doesn't mean buying everyone a seat in the builder.

Softr portals run on native Softr Databases, which the AI Co-Builder can set up for you with the right tables and relationships. If your data already lives elsewhere, Softr also connects to 20+ external sources, including Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, SQL databases, and more.

Through user groups. You define groups based on any condition in your data, then control what each group can see and do, down to individual records and fields. A client sees only their own projects. A vendor sees only their own orders. An internal admin sees everything. Because groups read from your live data, a new user lands in the right group automatically the moment their record is created.

Yes. Softr includes a built-in AI assistant you can add to a portal without any API setup. Users can ask questions in plain language instead of digging through tables — “what's the status of my order” or “show me invoices from last quarter” — and get an answer from live portal data. The assistant only reads what that user already has permission to see, so it never surfaces another customer's records.
