## Summary

Automattic has launched Spacefast, a service that helps people publish websites and apps made with AI coding tools. The move extends the company beyond its association with WordPress, as more people build web projects with chatbots and AI agents.

Spacefast supplies hosting infrastructure including databases, user authentication, file uploads, email and analytics. People can connect a range of AI agents or chatbots, or start from a Git repository. The service was soft-launched in September and has been used for internal mock-ups, slideshows and promotional websites; Automattic says it could add WordPress, analytics and WooCommerce features, while competing with services such as Lovable and Emergent.
