[Ask a real person.](https://uselentil.com/contact) ### Can I really update my website from ChatGPT? Yes. Connect Lentil to ChatGPT, Claude or any assistant that supports MCP, and it can change pages, hours and photos, add pages, run checks and read your enquiries. It can only do what your role in Lentil allows. ### Can my assistant publish without me? No. Every change is saved as a draft and goes live only when you say publish. Every version is kept, so you can roll back in one click. ### Do I need ChatGPT to use Lentil? No. Lentil has its own AI built in, with 500 AI credits a month on Pro. If you already pay for an assistant, you can use it too. ### Can I bring my current website? Yes. Paste its address and Lentil imports your pages as they are, or plans an improved version for you to approve. Old links keep working. ## Your website, built and kept working. Start in a few sentences. Then run it from Lentil or the chat you already use, with real people to ask when you need them.
