Building with an AI agent for the first time is a pretty empowering feeling. You ask Claude Code or Cursor to put together a landing page, a prototype, a slide deck — and it actually works. What used to take a day or two now takes twenty minutes. The building part has gotten dramatically easier.

Then you try to share it, and reality sets in.

The gap no one talks about

Deploying a static site isn't technically hard — but it requires a specific kind of knowledge that has nothing to do with what you were building. You need to know what Vercel is. You need to connect a repository, configure build settings, and understand the difference between a branch deploy and a production deploy. For a designer or PM who just wants to show a stakeholder a working prototype, that friction is real.

It breaks momentum at exactly the wrong moment — right when you want to show your work.

AI agents can generate the thing, but getting it onto the internet can be a headache. That's been the missing link.

here.now is instant, free web hosting built specifically for AI agents. The pitch is simple: tell your agent to publish something, and a live URL appears in seconds. No account required to try it. No build step. No config files. No repo to connect.

It supports any file type — HTML, images, PDFs, video, audio. Whatever your agent produced, here.now can host it. That includes complex pages with embedded media, not just bare HTML.

Setup takes under two minutes

There are two ways to get started with here.now, and both are fast:

1. Just ask your agent — Tell Claude Code, Cursor, or whichever agent you use to check out here.now and set itself up. It'll figure it out on its own — which feels fitting given what this tool is for.

2. Copy the setup prompt manually — Go to here.now, click "copy setup instructions for agent," and paste into your agent. It installs the skill directly, so from that point on your agent knows how to publish natively.

Either way, you don't create an account, you don't open a terminal, and you don't write a config file. The setup is a one-time paste.

The workflow in practice

Once here.now is set up, the publishing flow becomes part of your natural agent conversation:

Build something with your agent

• Say "publish this to here.now"

• Get a live, shareable URL in seconds

• To update: make changes, push to the same URL — no need to resend links

That last point matters more than it might seem. When you update your site, the URL doesn't change. Anyone you already shared it with will see the new version on refresh. No more "here's the new link" messages.

Why this matters now

We're in a moment where the tools for building have outpaced the tools for sharing. An AI agent can produce a functional, interactive prototype in the time it takes to set up a Vercel project. The gap between "created" and "published" has become a real bottleneck — and one that's easy to overlook because we've accepted it as normal.

here.now is a bet that that gap shouldn't exist. The agent built it; the agent should be able to publish it. The fact that no account is required to try it keeps the barrier exactly where it should be: zero.

Try it

Go to here.now, grab the setup instructions, and paste them into your agent. If you want your sites to stay up permanently, create an account — also free. The whole thing takes less than two minutes.
