Which AI can publish my website?
Most AI assistants can write you a website. Fewer of them can put it online. The difference is not obvious from the name, so here it is.
On this page
The short answer
These can publish
- Google Antigravity
- Cursor
- Claude Code
- ChatGPT with Codex
- Gemini CLI
- OpenCode
- Devin
Each runs on your own computer.
These cannot, on their own
- ChatGPT in a browser
- Claude in a browser
- Gemini in a browser
They will write your site and say they cannot send it. That is correct, not broken — and adding a connector fixes it without installing anything.
Not using any of these yet? Google Antigravity is free, runs on your computer, and does the whole job — writing the website and putting it online.
Find your AI
Several of these names cover more than one product, and the versions do not behave the same. That is the whole confusion: the thing you open in a browser and the thing you install can share a name and still differ on the only question that matters here.
Google’s coding agent, and a different product from the Gemini chat — it runs on your computer and can put a website online. Free, which makes it the one to start with if you are not already paying for an AI tool.
An editor with an AI agent built in. The free tier is enough to build and publish a small site.
Anthropic’s agent, in your terminal or the desktop app. Needs a paid Claude plan. Not the same thing as claude.ai in a browser tab.
Nothing to install and no code to paste — you add the address, sign in once, and press Connect. After that Claude writes your website in the conversation and publishes it without you leaving the chat.
Same as ChatGPT in a browser: it builds the site and cannot publish it. Adding DashPloy as a connector is the shortest fix, because nothing gets installed.
OpenAI’s coding agent, on a paid ChatGPT plan. Not the same thing as chatgpt.com in a browser tab.
Same idea as the Claude connector, where your plan offers them. Nothing to install, no code to paste, and it publishes from inside the chat.
It can read our instructions and write you a complete website. It cannot send that website to us, and it will tell you so rather than pretending. Add the connector, or move the files to one of the tools above.
Google’s assistant as a command-line tool, which can reach us. The Gemini chat in a browser cannot.
Builds the site, cannot publish it, and has no connector to add. Antigravity is Google’s tool that can, and it is free.
An open-source coding agent for your terminal, and it brings its own model choice — so it works with whichever AI account you already have.
A coding agent that works on tasks on its own. The most hands-off of these, and the most expensive.
Not on this list? DashPloy is an ordinary web API, so anything that can make a request to it works. The question to ask your assistant is simply whether it can send one.
Adding DashPloy to a chat app
Some chat apps let you connect outside services to them. Connecting DashPloy gives the assistant the ability it was missing, and after that it can publish without you installing anything or opening a terminal.
Wherever your app lists connectors, add a new one with this address:
https://dashploy.com/mcpAdd the address
Choose to sign in
Press Connect on our page
If your app has no sign-in option and insists on a key, give it a header called X-API-Key with your code from your dashboard as its value. Prefer that name over Authorization where both are offered: some apps keep the second for their own sign-in and quietly drop yours, and the connection looks fine right up until the first attempt to publish.
The tools further up this page can use this same address instead of adding DashPloy themselves — it is the same account and the same websites either way. If one of them is already set up and working, there is nothing here you need to do.
It built my site and cannot publish it
This is the common one, and you have lost nothing: the website exists, it is just still in the conversation. Two ways to finish.
- Add DashPloy to that same chat, if the app allows it, and ask again. Nothing to install, and you keep the conversation you are already in.
- Move to an AI that can publish. Ask the one you have for all the files, then open one of the tools above, paste the files and the same line, and let it finish.
What you should not do is start again. Whatever your assistant wrote is the website — it only needs somewhere to send it.
Still stuck? Tell us what happened and a person will answer. If the assistant said something we could word better, we would genuinely like to know.
Why some cannot
It is not whether the AI is clever, and not whether you pay for it. It is whether your assistant can send something to us on your behalf.
Reading a page and sending a website are different abilities. An assistant in a browser tab can almost always do the first, which is why it will happily read our instructions and understand them perfectly — and then have no way to act on them. That is not a fault and it is not you doing something wrong.
A good assistant will tell you. Ours asks every AI to check whether it can publish before promising anything, and to say so plainly if it cannot. If yours says something like “I can build your website, but I can’t send it to DashPloy from this chat”, it is working correctly — it is just in the wrong kind of window.
There are three kinds of window, and the middle one surprises everybody:
- An AI that runs on your computer. It can see your files and it can reach us, so pasting the line is the whole job.
- A chat app with DashPloy added to it. Nothing gets installed. The assistant writes your website in the conversation and publishes it from there. If you have never used a terminal, this is the easiest path there is.
- A plain chat in a browser tab. It will write you a complete website and it cannot put it online. Keep what it wrote — it is not wasted.
