Automattic has launched Spacefast, a hosting platform for projects built with AI agents that users already work with. Its November 9 announcement follows a September soft launch.
The company describes an infrastructure service rather than another model subscription. Users can connect their existing agent, publish a project and continue changing it. An API, command-line interface and MCP server provide routes for agents and developers to manage the work.
The launch includes hosting, domains and SQL databases. The announcement separately marks built-in app authentication as coming soon. Automattic’s release statement also places transactional email and shared team knowledge in the coming weeks. Those roadmap items should not be treated as completed launch features.
In an interview with TechCrunch, founder Batuhan İçöz emphasised users’ freedom to choose their agent.
Sharing and operating costs need separate decisions
The product page describes private Spaces, invitations, share links and a public-sharing option. It also offers version history and page comments that an agent can address. These controls make publishing and choosing an audience separate steps; teams still need to decide who should receive access.
According to the current pricing page, Personal costs nothing and includes $1 of monthly usage. Go costs $5 per team per month with $5 included usage; Pro costs $15 with $15 included. Pro includes up to five members, then charges $15 monthly for each additional member. Usage beyond the included amount is billed separately. Go and Pro support spending caps.
The same page lists 20 Spaces and custom domains on Personal, 100 on Go and 500 on Pro. That makes the published limits worth checking against a team’s actual project count before migrating work.
For security teams, deployment convenience leaves familiar review questions: what information an app stores, which identities can access it, and which actions its agent can perform. A successful publish answers whether a deployment completed. It does not establish that the generated application’s access controls, data handling or business logic have been reviewed.
