How to publish an AI-generated website for free (without leaving your agent)

AI agents are increasingly good at building websites, reports, dashboards, and interactive prototypes. The awkward part is often the last mile: downloading a folder, creating a repository, configuring hosting, and copying a URL back into the conversation. A simpler workflow is to let the agent publish the result itself. In this tutorial, I'll show a practical agent-to-live-URL workflow using…

In the world of AI-generated content, creating a website has become simpler thanks to the capabilities of AI agents. However, the final step of getting a live URL can still be a bit complex. This tutorial demonstrates a streamlined workflow that allows an AI agent to publish a website directly to a free hosting platform called Revdoku.

To begin, you'll need an AI agent capable of creating website files and utilizing tools, such as popular language models like ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Gemini, Grok, Cursor, or OpenCode. Additionally, you must have a static website or other browser-ready files, without the need for a hosting account to initially deploy the site.

First, instruct your AI agent using the provided prompt, which can be copied directly from the Revdoku homepage. This ensures the agent receives the most up-to-date integration instructions. Next, request the creation of the website and its deployment in a single prompt. Provide a clear description of the desired website, including the layout, content, and any specific features.

After the agent generates the necessary HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files, ask Revdoku to publish the site and return the resulting public URL. Remember to review the live site to ensure it meets your expectations, checking for mobile responsiveness, clarity of navigation, and the absence of any sensitive information.

Once satisfied, you can continue iterating on the website within the same conversation. Make any necessary adjustments, such as simplifying the hero section, improving text contrast, or adding a comparison table. Once finalized, republish the site using the same Revdoku project URL, which will update the existing deployment without disrupting any shared links.

Revdoku's free hosting service is well-suited for browser-ready sites, prototypes, reports, documentation, portfolios, and more. For projects requiring a backend, database, or private server processes, it's best to use appropriate application platforms. Revdoku also offers optional access control features, such as password protection and verified email access, for clients who require restricted access to their previews or internal documents. These upgrades are not included in the free public-hosting workflow.

By utilizing an agent-first approach, the feedback loop becomes more efficient, as the agent can directly build, publish, and provide the resulting URL. This streamlined process not only saves time but also ensures that the final deliverable is immediately reviewable. To get started, simply visit revdoku.com and begin publishing your AI-generated websites for free.
