Automattic debuts a platform to deploy vibe coding apps amid a changing internet
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Automattic, the owner of WordPress.com, launched Spacefast, a platform that lets users deploy “vibe‑coded” websites and applications with built‑in databases, authentication, file storage, email and analytics. The service, built by Batuhan İçöz after a hackathon, competes with tools such as Lovable and Emergent but offers a more open architecture and the ability to attach AI agents like ChatGPT, Claude or Grok Bot, or connect a Git repository. Spacefast entered a soft‑launch in September and is now available, targeting mockups, landing pages and enterprise marketing teams that want to consolidate landing‑page tools. Automattic leverages its CDN, WordPress integration and WooCommerce e‑commerce hooks, positioning the product as a shop for enterprises seeking to reduce IT sprawl while staying within the Automattic ecosystem.
💡 Why It Matters
- · By bundling AI‑agent connectivity and full‑stack services under a single Automattic umbrella, Spacefast gives enterprises a native alternative to piecemeal landing‑page builders, potentially reshaping how marketing teams deploy AI‑driven web experiences.
