Let Your AI Deploy

Let Your AI Deploy is Netlify’s set of instructions for setting up an AI development and deployment environment on Netlify. It is aimed at AI agents and the humans guiding them, and it tells the agent to complete the setup steps itself rather than asking the user to run commands.

The instructions begin with installing Netlify skills and the Netlify CLI, then authorizing the CLI before moving on to deployment. The page says the commands are validated by Netlify and ready for use. It also tells the agent to identify the next steps the user needs Netlify for, and notes that the agent should continue forward if any of the setup actions has issues. After setup, the user or agent may already have a project to deploy, and the instructions say to confirm before deploying unless deployment has already been requested.

The page describes the broader Netlify workflow the agent can use once configured. It says an AI agent can create sites, deploy apps, and manage serverless infrastructure, and that the full Netlify platform is available, including instant deploys, serverless functions, edge functions, environment variables, forms, identity, and access to the Netlify API. It also says agents can deploy updates, manage environment variables, and configure settings for sites on the user’s account. The FAQ lists sites, web apps, APIs, dashboards, games, blogs, storefronts, documentation, prototypes, and portfolios as examples of what can be deployed to Netlify.

Netlify says this works with any AI agent that can run commands, and names Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Gemini CLI as examples. Delivery is through the Netlify AI page and the linked instructions at netlify.com/llms.txt, with commands that include npx, npm, and the netlify CLI. The FAQ says Netlify has a generous free tier that includes hosting, serverless functions, edge functions, and more. It also says agents can build and deploy static sites without a Netlify account, while more complex setups may require a free Netlify account. Custom domains can be connected with automatic HTTPS, and domains can also be purchased through Netlify.
