We’ve improved the Netlify CLI’s Agent Experience to make it the fastest way for both developers and AI agents to go from idea to deployed site. Here’s what’s new.

Create a new project from a prompt

The netlify create command now builds you a new site from scratch, triggering Agent Runners:

netlify create "a landing page for a SaaS product with a waitlist signup"

This single command will:

• Create a new Netlify project for you
• Deploy it to a live URL
• Pull down the code so you can start iterating locally

Prefer to build with GitHub? The Netlify CLI can also create a new GitHub repo and automatically hook it up to your new Netlify project, no manual setup required.

Deploy without an account

Need to spin up something quick without creating an account first or signing in? The new --allow-anonymous flag lets you deploy without a Netlify account:

netlify deploy --allow-anonymous

This will create the project, deploy it to a live URL, and let you claim the project within an hour. This is especially useful for AI agents that need to create temporary projects without requiring Netlify credentials upfront.

Better agent experience throughout

We’ve resolved the major issues agents commonly hit with the CLI. The CLI is now a more predictable integration point whether you’re building with an AI coding assistant or orchestrating your own agents.

Install or update the Netlify CLI to try it out:

npm install -g netlify-cli@latest

You can now deploy sites to Netlify directly from OpenAI Codex using the Netlify plugin in the Codex plugin directory.

Codex plugins extend Codex with apps, skills, and MCP servers, to access external tools, data, and workflows directly from your coding environment. With the Netlify plugin, Codex can create projects, configure settings, and deploy without leaving the coding workflow.

What you can do

Deploy directly from Codex

• Deploy projects using the Netlify CLI workflow
• Generate preview URLs automatically
• Deploy to production when ready
• Validate build configuration before deployment

Manage your projects

• Create new projects
• Install extensions
• Manage environment variables
• Configure visitor access controls
• Manage forms
• Update project settings

Review and fix deployments

• Inspect deploy status
• Retrieve build logs
• Identify configuration issues
• Iterate on fixes within Codex

Codex is also available through Agent Runners, where you can prompt AI agents against your live project and deploy changes directly from the Netlify Dashboard.

The Netlify plugin for Codex is available now in the Codex plugin directory.

AI Gateway is now generally available (GA) for all Netlify users. Build AI-powered apps with confidence using our fully managed gateway that handles AI model keys, setup, and monitoring automatically.

For a deeper dive into AI Gateway capabilities, check out our latest blog post.

Availability

To use AI Gateway, you must have a Credit-based plan or an enabled Enterprise plan.

Learn more about pricing for AI features and monitoring their usage.

To request access to the AI Gateway for an Enterprise plan, reach out to your Netlify account manager.

Today we’re releasing new AI workflows that bring powerful coding agents directly into your Netlify projects, with zero setup.

• Agent Runners: Run Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini directly from the Netlify Dashboard, with full production context. Available today for projects using GitHub-connected repositories or manual deploys.

• AI Gateway (beta): Connect to any AI model without managing API keys, with usage tracked against your Netlify credits.

These features are available on all credit-based plans. If you’re on a legacy plan, you can update to a credit-based plan to start using them.

Our “Why did it fail?” feature now integrates better with your chosen AI-powered development workflows. When our AI shares its diagnosis and proposed solution, the “Copy analysis for use in AI tools” button will copy to clipboard:

• The relevant error log lines from your deploy
• Diagnosis of the problem
• The proposed solution

This is ready to paste into your AI tool of choice, unlocking a closer feedback loop to speed up bug resolution and get your deploy up and running error-free!

When using the Netlify context files in Cursor or Windsurf, whenever the agents generate code with Netlify Forms, they will add the honeypot field to make your forms more secure by default.

When using a partner integration to deploy your site, the partner may now include helpful links back into their platform which you’ll see in the site overview page.

This will make it more seamless for you to move between the Netlify UI and your chosen integration for making changes to your site.

Learn more about including deploy_origin metadata from our guide on deploying sites from AI tools.

Following the release of a new API for partners to deploy fullstack apps, we’re now introducing another addition, an API to access Functions and Edge Functions logs.

AI agents and integrations can now analyze more of Netlify logs in real-time to troubleshoot issues with deploys and functions automatically.
