iannuttall · x · 2026-09-10
Developers spotted Automattic launching here.now, an instant web hosting service built for AI agents, competing in the emerging agent-publishing space.
- Core flow: tell your agent to "publish to here.now" — a copyable prompt gets a site live in 3 seconds at url.here.now; it already powers over 500,000 sites.
- Features include access control (passwords, invite-only, domain restrictions), custom domains, analytics, databases, version history, and plugins.
- Team workspaces like acme.here.now keep published sites member-only by default, with sub-sites for decks, roadmaps, sandboxes and more.
- It's designed to work with any agent, positioning itself as the one-click publish layer for agent-generated sites.
