Build with Codex. Ship with Netlify.

Codex builds your app. Netlify runs it with the full stack it needs: database, auth, backend functions, AI Gateway, and deploy previews — without any manual configuration.

Choose your workflow

Run Codex as part of your existing development workflow, or start from a conversation in ChatGPT.

Codex

Deploy to Netlify from inside Codex

Add Netlify as an MCP server and Codex can create sites, configure settings, and publish updates as part of any task — no separate deploy step needed.

ChatGPT

From chat to live URL

Ask ChatGPT to build your site, download the files, and drag the folder into Netlify Drop. You get a live URL without touching a terminal or creating an account. Once your site exists, the Netlify Connector for ChatGPT lets you manage deploys, environment variables, and access controls — without leaving the conversation.

Database

A fully managed database ready for your app to use from day one.

Serverless backends

Run backend code without managing infrastructure — just write the logic and publish.

The governed path for AI-built apps

Your teams are already building with AI. The question is whether those apps are running somewhere you can see, control, and audit — or somewhere you can't. Netlify gives platform and IT teams the controls they need without slowing builders down.

AI development governance guide Talk to sales

SSO

Integrates with Okta, Azure AD, and any SAML 2.0 provider. Access controls follow your existing systems.

SCIM provisioning

Automatically provision and deprovision users from your identity provider. Team access stays in sync with your org without manual updates.

Role-based access

Define who can build, review, and push to production. Non-technical builders get their own lane without touching production infrastructure.

Team protection

Keep sites internal and private within your org. Control who can access what, without exposing apps to the public.

Manage AI spend

Set budgets and usage limits on AI model calls across your team. Cost controls that keep projects from running up unexpected bills.

Site access controls

Restrict access to previews and production by user, role, or team. Password protection and JWT-based rules available out of the box.

Audit logs

Forward deploy and traffic logs to Datadog, Splunk, or S3. Enterprise plan, enabled in a few clicks from the dashboard.

Secret scanning

Every deploy checked for exposed credentials before it goes live.

FAQ

Which AI models can I use with Netlify?

Agent Runners and AI Gateway support OpenAI (Codex), Anthropic (Claude), and Google (Gemini). You’re not locked into a single provider.

Is there a cost to use Codex with Netlify?

There’s no extra charge to use Codex with Netlify. You can start for free — Netlify’s free plan includes everything you need to connect Codex, and many other AI tools, to build and ship your first app.

Does Netlify use my code or prompts to train AI models?

No. Netlify does not use your content to train AI models unless you explicitly opt in. You own your content. You can also review Netlify’s Privacy Policy.

Who owns the code Codex writes on Netlify?

You do. Your code, your content, your project — Netlify is here to run it, not own it.

What’s the difference between Codex, ChatGPT, and Agent Runners?

Codex and the Netlify Connector for ChatGPT are for developers who want to bring Netlify into their existing workflow — add Netlify as an MCP server and they can create, configure, and deploy on your behalf. Agent Runners is built into the Netlify Dashboard, so anyone can type a prompt and have an app built and published without any setup or technical background required. If ChatGPT creates a local folder on your machine, you can also drag and drop it straight into Netlify Drop to publish instantly.
