Automattic has opened Spacefast to everyone after a September soft launch. The service hosts applications built with a user’s chosen AI tools and supplies databases, private sharing and version rollback. Developers can keep the tool that writes their code while using Automattic’s infrastructure to publish it, with built-in application authentication still planned.
Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, opened its Spacefast application hosting service to everyone on 9 November. The September soft launch had allowed the team to gather feedback. Spacefast publishes applications written with AI agents, software that can carry out development tasks, while leaving users free to choose the tool that produces their code. Batuhan İçöz leads the project, which began during an internal development sprint.[1], [2]
Hosting, custom domains and a structured query language (SQL) database are supplied by Spacefast. Agents can publish through an application programming interface (API), a command-line tool or a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server connecting AI tools to services. Each deployment creates an immutable version with a permanent address. A user can return to an earlier version, while approval and rollback controls form part of the publishing process.[1]
Applications begin as private projects. Users can share them with passwords, invitations, links or public access. Comments can feed into later changes made by an agent. Automattic lists internal dashboards, photo-review tools, team applications and inventory utilities among the uses. Built-in application authentication is planned. Charging is based on infrastructure use rather than AI credits, keeping the hosting service separate from the code-generation tool.[1]
