Sutra
The home for people and projects with purpose
Sutra is an all-in-one platform for creators and small organizations that brings a website builder, courses, community, CRM, email marketing, and payments into a single workspace. It is designed for people running courses, coaching practices, memberships, and community-based programs who would otherwise need to connect several separate tools. AI-assisted setup helps turn an idea, PDF, recording, or existing site into a first version of a course, community, or website, and an API and MCP layer allow the workspace to be operated from external AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Codex.
Core capabilities include a multi-page website builder with custom domains, cohort and conversational courses, threaded community spaces, private client spaces, events, small groups, landing pages, and visual automations. The platform also provides a CRM with contact records and custom properties, email newsletters sent from a verified domain, segmentation and tagging, forms, surveys, quizzes, participation analytics, and payments supporting one-time, recurring, pay-what-you-can, bundles, trials, and coupons. An in-house AI agent called Cobolt can manage setup and operations, while a chat bot answers from your own content. Sutra MCP connects MCP-capable assistants to a scoped API for building pages, authoring content, managing members, and sending broadcasts.
Sutra is aimed at creators, coaches, facilitators, and small organizations delivering group learning or community experiences. It is available with a free plan that does not require a credit card, and the platform states that users can cancel at any time.
