Getting started

From an AI agent to a live website in about a minute.

Before you begin

A static site with an index.html at the top level of the folder you want to publish.
An AI coding agent that can run shell commands — Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or similar.

No account, no API key, and no payment are needed to start.

Publish in five steps

Say the prompt In your agent, ask it to publish:
PromptPublish this project with https://publish.my
Your agent deploys It packs your folder and uploads it. You'll get a staged preview URL like https://88vk3mqtxz.publish.my right away.
Open the URL and enter your email The preview page asks for your email so we know the site is yours.
Click the link in your inbox The activation email is valid for 72 hours. Clicking it switches your site on — it goes live at the same address.
You're live Your agent quietly saves a key so it can update this site later without asking for your email again.

Tip The whole flow is hands-off for you except typing your email and clicking one link. If your agent reports a problem (for example, a missing index.html), it will tell you in plain language what to fix.

Updating your site

Made changes? Just ask your agent to publish again:

PromptPublish again to https://publish.my

It updates the same URL — no new link, no second email. Your agent will confirm before overwriting a live site, so you're always in control.

After the first publish, your agent remembers this project You don't even need the link anymore — a plain "publish again" (or "republish", "update the site") is enough. On first publish your agent leaves a small note in your project so any future session knows this is a publish.my site and where it lives.

Lost access? Reconnect a live site

If your agent loses its saved key (a new machine, a cleared session, a deleted file), it can't be read back from us — but you don't have to start over. Ask your agent to reconnect: it requests a confirmation email sent only to the address that owns the site, you click it, and your agent receives a fresh key. Because the confirm link only ever goes to the owner's inbox, this is safe even though your site address is public.

You can always sign in Visit console.publish.my to see your sites and manage keys yourself with a one-time sign-in link.
