Meet netlify.new.
The wall between “here’s your code” and “here’s your live app” just came down. And I got a front row seat to it happening.
There’s a moment every builder knows.
You’ve described what you want. The AI has generated something promising. And then the momentum just... stops.
Because now you have to figure out hosting. Wire up auth. Configure the build. Sort out deployment. None of it is insurmountable but all of it is friction. And friction, compounded across every project, is where good ideas go to slow down.
I’ve watched this happen with builders across the vibe coder and AI dev community more times than I can count. The generation part is fast now. The everything-after part is still a wall.
That wall is what netlify.new is built to knock down. You can now go from prompt to live product in minutes.
What it actually does
Go to netlify.new. Describe what you want to build. Pick your AI agent, Claude, Gemini, or Codex from our dropdown. Within minutes, you have a working app on a live production URL. Not a preview. Not a sandbox. A real, production site on Netlify’s infrastructure, ready to share.
No repo. No local setup. No CLI.
But here’s the part that changes how you build: when you want to iterate, you don’t start over. You run the agent again on the same app, in place. Add a contact form. Swap the layout. Wire up authentication. The project evolves without regenerating from scratch every time.
Forms, identity, and serverless functions are all wired in from day one. Git shows up when you’re ready for it, not before.
Try It Yourself
Today I’m hunting netlify.new on Product Hunt. The team is live in the comments all day and we’d love to see you.
The fastest way to understand it is to just try it: netlify.new
Go build something. Then come tell me what you made.
