The Problem

AI lets you build apps in hours. Getting them online still takes forever.

• 47-step deployment guides
• YAML configs AI hallucinates
• IAM policies that take hours
• Cryptic errors, impossible to debug

Frost fixes that.

Install

With AI agent — give your agent: https://frost.build/install.md

Manual — run on your server:

curl -fsSL https://frost.build/install.sh | sudo bash

Need a server? See INSTALL.md for AI-assisted VPS provisioning.
