Netlify

“Build me a dashboard.” Done in five minutes. That’s what Karthik Puvvada is describing here. Every CSV, every spreadsheet becomes something you can turn into a working dashboard almost instantly. But the more interesting part is what Sean Roberts adds. When you build these things inside the same environment where your production site lives, you remove an entire step. No separate tools. No handoff. No waiting for something to get productionized later. The idea is already close to real, working software from the start. That changes how fast teams can move and how often ideas actually make it all the way through.

One week since we removed seat-based pricing. The response we keep hearing isn't about the bill. It's about the people teams are finally adding to their workspaces. That's what this was about. https://lnkd.in/gi3rE2Rd

Build your way. Ship on one platform. Start with a prompt or code. Build a fullstack app with databases, image hosting, observability, and more. Ship to a global CDN in seconds. Designers shipping prototypes, product managers spinning up internal tools, agents building alongside engineers, they all run on the same workflow and production infrastructure that powers millions of sites and apps. Start building at Netlify.com.

Agent Runners just got a frontend-design skill that pushes AI agents past the cookie-cutter UI default. You know the look. Generic gradients, centered cards, a button that could be from any of a thousand apps. The frontend-design skill guides agents toward production-grade interfaces with actual visual identity. The changelog shows a calculator generated with and without the skill enabled. Same prompt, very different output. It activates automatically when an agent is asked to build web components, pages, or applications. No configuration required. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gzrEvqvV

Three days in and this is the kind of response we're seeing. "I have a content editor that had to use my github user just not to get another seat charged. It saves me looking for alternatives as I love the netlify experience." — @dropmiq "Super empowering for non tech teams to collab and ship now." — @TheGeneralistHQ "Timely move. Seat-based pricing needs to die in the AI era." — @SidChoudhury That's what unlimited seats looks like in practice. https://lnkd.in/gi3rE2Rd

"As a vibe coder, I want optionality. I want to play with Claude Code and then this and then that. There's a sense of lock-in that I don't want to feel." Karthik Puvvada named the tension every vibe coder is feeling right now. The AI coding tools space is moving fast. Vibe coders don't want to bet their workflow on whichever tool is hot this quarter, and they shouldn't have to. Sean Roberts' take on how Netlify fits in: Bring your code regardless of how it's written. Built with ChatGPT, Bolt, Claude Code, Agent Runners, whatever comes next. Netlify will host it and help you ship it. The best agents, plus an exceptional web platform, is how you get to build anything. Prototypes, internal tools, and real contributions to production sites. No lock-in required.

Claude Opus 4.7 is now available through Netlify's AI Gateway and Agent Runners with zero configuration required. Use the Anthropic SDK directly inside your Netlify Functions. You don't need to manage API keys or wire up authentication. The AI Gateway handles it automatically, and you get Netlify's caching, rate limiting, and authentication infrastructure included. Available across all Function types and Agent Runners. Read the changelog: https://lnkd.in/gXnY3e33

Unlimited seats changed who's in your Netlify workspace. The designer who needs to preview. The PM who wants to check staging. Finance building dashboards. Marketing publishing pages. Now the Members page helps you see all of them clearly: • Search by name • Filter by role • Filter by project access • Sort by last activity Audit access, find collaborators, see who's been active. Available now for Pro and above. https://lnkd.in/g5tEFB67

Unlimited seats change who gets to be in the room. Not just developers. The designer who needs to preview before it ships. The PM who wants to check staging without filing a request. The marketer who should be able to publish without going through anyone. Add them. No extra charge. https://lnkd.in/gi3rE2Rd

“We used to be the actors. Now we’re the directors.” That’s how Sean Roberts describes working with AI in modern development. You have a system that can generate code, build features, and keep going without getting tired. It becomes a constant collaborator across your team. But control doesn’t go away. The agent doesn’t make final decisions. It doesn’t define the architecture. It doesn’t decide what ships. That responsibility still sits with the developer. “You choose what to publish. You choose what to accept.” The workflow is changing, but ownership isn’t.
