> Hosting for apps built by describing them to an AI — git push deploys, automatic TLS, a dashboard instead of a server, and open source agent skills.


**Code is cheap.** Getting it live is the wall. A designer or a business owner describes what the application should do, an AI writes it, and it runs on a laptop — and then stalls at the gap between "works here" and "has a URL". fortrabbit is built to remove that wall entirely.

> Prompt to deploy.

## An absence of ops

Closing that gap normally means a server, a web server, certificates, and a deploy pipeline — none of which the person building wanted to learn. Here it is a git push. Components are booked in a dashboard and scaled with a slider, the runtime is fully managed, and there is nothing to administer. The work stays on the application; the operations disappear.

Every environment answers on a test domain like `en-34fdsa.frbit.app`, TLS already installed, every request over HTTPS. That is enough to share a link and collect a first reaction the same afternoon. A custom domain, when the project earns one, has its certificate issued and renewed automatically — nothing to configure, nothing to renew by hand.

## A dashboard for the human, a headless interface for the agent

The AI does not need to click through a console, and the person does not need to leave one. fortrabbit publishes open source [agent skills](https://docs.fortrabbit.com/platform/concepts/agent-skills) — they install locally and let a coding agent connect a project, deploy, sync files, and pull the database straight from a prompt with commands like `/fortrabbit deploy`. An MCP server, a public API, and a CLI are in the making, launching soon, so every platform action becomes scriptable.

The docs are built for machines as much as people: every article is plain Markdown at a predictable URL, with `llms.txt` and `llms-full.txt` aggregated for retrieval. An agent looks up how deployment works and finds a readable answer instead of a search box. The dashboard stays for the human — to watch what shipped, not to babysit it.

## Cheap to abandon, ready to grow

Most experiments go nowhere, and the platform is built for that outcome: a trial app without a payment method deletes itself at the end of the week, and a paid app stops billing the day it is deleted. Nothing runs on in the background.

The few that catch on scale a component at a time on the same host. And when accepting what runs is no longer enough, the same app steps up to [agentic engineering](/workflows/agentic-engineering) — the same deploy, with review and staged releases added around it. No re-platforming, ever.

## Why fortrabbit?

Because the distance between a prompt and a live URL should be a single push — and here it is. No server to meet, no certificate to chase, no bill for a month that an afternoon's experiment never used.

## FAQ

### Is there a server to administer?

**No** — There is no server to log into, patch, or size. Components are booked in a dashboard and scaled with a slider; the operating system, the web server, and the certificates are managed. What is left is the application and its data.

### How does something built with AI actually go live?

**A git push** — Connect the repository through the fortrabbit GitHub app and push. The deploy service runs Composer and the app answers on its test domain over HTTPS. Most AI coding tools already commit to Git, so the last step is the one they already take.

### Can the AI deploy the app?

**With agent skills, yes** — fortrabbit publishes open source [agent skills](https://docs.fortrabbit.com/platform/concepts/agent-skills) that install locally and let a coding agent run `/fortrabbit deploy`, sync files, and pull the database from a prompt. An MCP server, a public API, and a CLI are in the making to make every action scriptable — the dashboard stays for watching what happened.

### Do certificates need setting up?

**No** — Every environment answers on a test domain with TLS already in place, always over HTTPS. A custom domain gets its certificate issued and renewed automatically. There is no configuration step and nothing to remember to renew.

### What if the idea doesn't work out?

**Nothing is left behind** — A trial app with no payment method deletes itself when the week ends — no subscription billing quietly in the background. With a payment method attached, deleting the app stops the billing that same day. The experiment leaves nothing behind except the Git repository.

### When is this no longer enough?

**When rigor is needed** — Vibe coding accepts what runs. When a project needs review, tests, and staged deploys before it grows, the same app moves to [agentic engineering](/workflows/agentic-engineering) without changing hosts — the difference is process, not platform.
