My experience building and deploying a project with Netlify Agent Runners
Blog post from Netlify
Netlify's Agent Runners aims to simplify the process of building and deploying web projects by allowing users to describe their desired project, choose an AI coding agent, and deploy directly from the platform, eliminating the need for separate coding tools and hosting providers. This tool integrates AI coding agents such as Claude, OpenAI Codex, and Gemini, enabling users to create and deploy projects in a single workflow. It offers features like prompt templates, environment variable management, and a robust observability dashboard, making it ideal for fast, simple website deployments. Users can preview changes before publishing and leverage API integrations to incorporate real data, thus enhancing functionality. While ideal for straightforward projects, more complex builds may still require traditional tools like Claude Code or additional API connections. Overall, Agent Runners streamlines the web development process by integrating multiple functions into one platform, making it a compelling choice for solopreneurs or those seeking to quickly deploy simple web solutions.
