Automattic debuts a platform to deploy vibe-coding apps amid a changing internet

Automattic, the company behind WordPress, is stepping directly into the AI creation space with a new platform called Spacefast. Instead of locking you into a single code generation tool, Spacefast is built to handle the tricky backend parts of running an app, such as user logins, file storage, databases, and analytics.

This is great news if you like building with tools like Cursor, Claude, or ChatGPT but struggle with what happens next. Spacefast lets you bring code from your favorite AI assistant or a Git repository, giving you the hosting and infrastructure needed to turn quick prototypes into real, functional web apps.

As the team told TechCrunch, they want to give creators a "choice of their agent" rather than forcing everyone into an all-in-one sandbox. Having major web infrastructure companies build specifically for vibe-coded projects means it will only get easier to publish your ideas for the world to use.
