Automattic announces the launch of Spacefast, a service that allows users to deploy websites and applications created through vibe coding to the web. This practice involves developing software by describing it to an artificial intelligence assistant. The user connects their existing AI assistant to the platform, “with its memory, context, and your files,” and Spacefast provides the necessary infrastructure to make their projects accessible online. The service has been available since Monday, November 9, 2026.
An AI-Driven Infrastructure
Spacefast was created during an internal hackathon, a development competition organized internally, by Batuhan Içöz, who was then working on Beeper, Automattic’s messaging application. The service can be connected to applications like ChatGPT and Claude, to personal assistants such as Muse, Dots, Grok Bot, OpenClaw, or Hermes, as well as to coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor. It also offers an MCP server, a protocol that allows an assistant to use external tools, an API, and a CLI, i.e., a command-line interface.
According to Automattic, Spacefast was designed to be driven directly by AI. The blog post states: “You never need to open a dashboard or leave your editor. Spacefast comes with tool descriptions and instructions written for your agent. It already knows how to deploy a project or add a database. You don’t have to explain anything to it.”
Each project published via the platform is called a Space. It includes hosting, a custom domain name, and an SQL database. “Built-in app authentication is coming soon,” the company adds. With each update, a new version of the Space is saved, with a permanent URL, allowing the user to revert to a previous version “at any time.”
By default, a Space is only visible to its author, so that “nothing becomes public by accident.” It can then be shared by invitation, by link, or made public directly. Automattic specifies that the agent must obtain the user’s consent before any action deemed sensitive, such as reverting to a previous version or modifying DNS settings, for example.
A Free Plan and Paid Options
To use Spacefast, you must create an account on the platform or directly ask your AI assistant to connect to it. The service is also available as a plugin in Claude, ChatGPT, Grok Bot, Cursor, and Antigravity, as well as in GitHub’s MCP registry.
The free plan notably includes 20 Spaces, 20 custom domains, $1 of monthly usage, and the ability to publish from any agent. Two more expensive individual subscriptions are offered for further needs, as well as an Enterprise plan established on a quote basis. Automattic charges for infrastructure and not for AI credits, so that, according to the blog post, the user “doesn’t pay twice for inference,” i.e., the computation performed by the model to generate its responses. Projects also remain hosted on the platform, even if the user decides to switch AI assistants.
