Automattic launches Spacefast to host full-stack web apps directly from AI chats and IDEs

Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com and WooCommerce, launched Spacefast on 9 November 2026 to turn prototypes generated inside AI chats and coding agents into hosted full-stack web applications. Founded inside Automattic by former Beeper engineer Batuhan and backed by infrastructure serving more than 15 billion monthly pageviews, Spacefast connects through Model Context Protocol (MCP) plugins or a single terminal publish command to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Meta’s Muse, Grok Bot and OpenCode.

Managed backend and plan tiers

Unlike static preview sandboxes that vanish when a chat session closes, each Space provisions a persistent public or access-controlled URL, a managed MySQL database, file upload storage, environment secrets, automatic version history with one-click rollbacks, and pinned on-page visual comments that feed revision instructions straight back to the user’s coding agent. Spacefast offers a free Personal plan with $1 of monthly compute credit, up to 20 Spaces and 1 GB of disk storage; a Go tier at $5 a month ($5 usage credit, 100 Spaces, 10 GB storage); a Pro tier at $15 a month ($15 usage credit, 500 Spaces, 25 GB storage and up to five team members included before $15 per extra seat); and custom Enterprise contracts.
