Automattic launches Spacefast, a new company that gets apps and websites live in seconds

Spacefast works with AI you already use and love, so your first version of websites and apps are closer to finished and live in seconds.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Automattic today launched Spacefast, a new company that gives your AI a head start, making it faster and more fun than ever to get your app or website live. You keep working in your favorite AI, ChatGPT, Claude, Muse, Grok Bot, OpenClaw, Hermes and more. Spacefast gives that agent what it needs to build what you want, then puts your work online with a private link your team can comment on.

AI has changed how people make things. Anyone can describe an idea and get back a working page, app, or tool in minutes. AI makes the first draft of a new website or app fast, but getting to a finished one still takes time. Your AI often starts from a blank chat, so it guesses at your brand, makes basic decisions from scratch, and doesn't know where the work will live. That leads to many rounds of questions and fixes. Once it's built, putting it online still means new tools, setups, and sign-ins. Before Spacefast, the AI builders that promise to fix this will then ask you to switch to their AI and pay for it a second time.

Spacefast works differently.

Bring your own AI. Works with the AI you already use, and knows about you, your work, and your brand. You can use Spacefast with the ChatGPT and Claude apps, as well as personal assistants like Muse, Dots, Claude Duet, Grok Bot, Instinct, OpenClaw, Hermes and coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and more seamlessly. Just ask your AI about Spacefast.com.

Give your AI a head start. Ask most AI tools to build something, and they come back with a long list of questions or guess at the answers. Spacefast has already done that groundwork and answered those questions the way an expert would, so you only weigh in on the few that need you. Your agent also has a database ready. Built-in app authentication, transactional email, and shared team knowledge, including your team's playbooks, past decisions, and brand context, are coming in the next few weeks. You get a far better result from the same prompt and the same AI.

Go live in seconds, together. Ask your agent to put your work online, and you get a private link in the chat. Your team can comment right on the page, and your agent turns those comments into fixes. You share it only with the people you choose.

When your AI gets it right sooner and sharing is easy, more of what you make gets finished, seen, and used.

"AI is turning everyone into a maker, and the web is about to feel like its early days again, full of small, personal things people build for themselves, their teams, and their friends," said Batuhan İçöz, founder and CEO of Spacefast. "Those things deserve a real home, and the people making them deserve better tools. Spacefast is the companion for you and your AI, so building is better, faster, and more fun."

İçöz joined Automattic through its acquisition of Texts. He built the first version of Spacefast on his own during Radical Speed Month, an internal initiative that gave everyone at Automattic time to focus on a single project. As colleagues joined in and the project grew, Automattic made it its own company.

Built for teams

Most AI builders start with one person building alone. Spacefast starts with the team, including teams where one person uses Claude, another ChatGPT, and another Cursor. Everything your people make with AI lives in one shared place, where everyone can find it, comment on it, and pick up where someone else left off.

What's included

• Everything you need to launch. A place to deploy and host, your own domain, and a database come with Spacefast. Built-in app authentication, transactional email, and team knowledge with shared skill files and designed systems are launching in the coming weeks.
• Good starting points. Pick a portfolio, a menu, or a landing page. The details people tend to forget, like spam protection and phone layouts, are already taken care of.
• Full-stack. Build anything from a simple page to a complex, real-time app. Out of the box support for popular stacks both agents and engineers love like Vite, TanStack Start, Next.js, Astro and more.
• Private until you share it. You choose who sees each Space: a client, your team, or anyone you share a link with.
• Comments your AI can act on. Work through feedback with your team and clients right on the page, then ask your AI to make the changes.
• You set the permissions. Choose what your agent can access and do, with approval checks for sensitive actions.
• Your work remains yours. Download files from any version in your history and export your app's data at any time.
• Built by Automattic. Spacefast runs on WordPress.com's infrastructure, which handles more than 15 billion page views a month. It's fast and you never have to worry about bots or DDoS attacks.
• For WordPress VIP and Pressable customers. There's no new vendor to approve, and Spacefast connects to the site you already run.

Spacefast is available as an official plugin on Claude, ChatGPT, Grok Bot and more. You can connect any AI, from ChatGPT to personal assistants like Instinct with an API, CLI and MCP built for agents. Just ask your favorite AI about how to set up Spacefast.com.
