Automattic has launched Spacefast, a new infrastructure platform for deploying applications built with AI agents and chatbots.
It offers databases, authentication, file uploads, and analytics, supporting connections with tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and Git repositories.
What does the new service offer?
The service provides the necessary foundation for these applications to function, such as data storage, email sending, traffic measurement tools, and user login processes.
Users can connect Spacefast to popular chatbots and AI assistants, including ChatGPT, Claude, Hermes, OpenClaw, Grokbot, Muse, Pi, Cursor, Opencode, and Amp. Alternatively, they can directly connect to their own code repository.
How the project started
The idea was born by Batuhan Icoz during an internal company programming event earlier this year. Initially called Stattic, the project was piloted with a small audience in September to test reactions and gather feedback.

According to its creators, Spacefast aims to compete with similar design tools and software, offering advantages such as the freedom to choose between different artificial intelligence programs, connection to WordPress, integration of e-commerce functions through WooCommerce, and web analytics tools.
A difficult period for the company
The new release comes at a particularly tumultuous time for Automattic. The company has been facing significant restructuring recently, including a temporary removal of CEO Matt Mullenweg, a board replacement, the departure of an interim CFO just weeks after his appointment, and staff layoffs across multiple departments since October.
