This #HotAppSummer build started on a camping trip. ☀️ Dana Lawson's friend Colin wanted a way to know which wildflowers would be in bloom as he climbed, by elevation and time of year. So she built Alpine Flora: set your region, altitude, and month, and it shows you what's flowering on the trail, with AI photo ID and a sighting diary to log what you spot. The best builds often start with one person asking for one thing. What are you making? Try it 👉 https://lnkd.in/g4wb2Why Join the challenge 👉 https://lnkd.in/g8ikcv6R

Build with AI or code, deploy instantly on a platform built for agent experience (AX).
About us
Start, build and ship full-stack apps on the platform built for agent experience (AX). AI makes it easy to generate code. The harder part comes next. Getting changes live. Keeping systems stable. Understanding what broke when something doesn’t behave as expected. That challenge grows as updates happen faster and more often. That’s the gap we’re closing. Netlify brings the whole development workflow into one platform. Start, ship, build, run, all in the same place. Builders and agents move from idea to production quickly, without losing context. We coined this agent experience (AX), a shared workflow where humans and AI agents work side by side, taking responsibility for shipping quality software. We bring together modern web frameworks, serverless functions, edge computing and managed Postgres in one platform. Leading AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex CLI and Gemini CLI come built in. The result is an unmatched user experience for anyone who builds with AI. More than 14 million builders use Netlify, from solo developers and vibe coders to Fortune 100 companies and teams at Figma, Mattel, and Riot Games.

The difference between people getting average results from AI and people building incredible things often comes down to one skill: Context. In this clip, Domitrius Clark and Andy Wamstad talk about why prompting isn’t just about writing clever instructions. It’s about understanding how to combine tools, workflows, platform capabilities, and domain knowledge into a system that gets you where you want to go. The best builders aren’t using one magic prompt. They’re weaving together skills, MCPs, APIs, platforms, and context to create better outcomes. Watch the conversation. 👇

What used to be a six-figure platform decision is becoming a build decision. Matt explains how our CS team got there.
We're replacing our customer success platform with tools we built ourselves. We use Vitally today. It's a great product. It gave us playbooks for proactive renewal automation, risk indicators, health scores. It helped us figure out what we needed. Now, we're building a custom CSP that better fits our needs in house. Here's why that's even possible: everything Vitally does, at its core, is aggregate data from Snowflake, Zendesk, ORB International , and a few other sources, then put a dashboard and some automation on top. The data sources are the same whether Vitally sits in the middle or we connect to them directly. We started by building our own customer usage dashboard on top of Snowflake. The old dashboards from our data team were static. If a CSM needed a new field, it was a ticket that sat in a backlog for three to six weeks. Now they add a field with an agent run and the whole team has it instantly. Then Matt Gargano and his team built a customer agent that aggregates Gong transcripts, emails, usage data, 10Ks, and news into a single account brief. Now, CSMs type in an account ID, and 30 seconds later they've got the full history, trajectory, and opportunities. That used to be hours of preparation before an onsite. The latest is an Insights agent. They mapped every feature and function included in Netlify, then built an agent that queries which ones each customer has actually adopted. The agent identifies the gaps, generates targeted email templates with contact lists, and ships outreach to drive adoption. More adoption means more stickiness, and more stickiness means higher renewals. We've found that customers who adopt more than 35% of Netlify's sub-features renew at significantly higher rates. This is the build-versus-buy shift playing out inside a single function. The CSP gave us a template. Once we understood the template, we could build the custom version. The custom version is better for us because it connects to our exact data, serves our exact workflows, and changes at the speed of our team instead of the speed of a vendor's roadmap. If you're a CS leader paying six figures for a platform that's essentially an aggregation layer on top of data you already own, it's worth asking whether you could build past it. The answer is increasingly yes.

Most AI tools can generate an output. The harder part is everything that comes after. In this clip, Domitrius Clark explains why Agent Runners isn’t just about producing code or content. It’s about taking action. When you’re building with Agent Runners, you’re not left figuring out hosting, deployment, or how to stitch together a dozen different services after the fact. You get the power of the Netlify platform behind every action, so the path from prompt to production is a whole lot shorter. Watch the clip. 👇

Yesterday's #HotAppSummer build is a quietly useful one. ☀️ Dana Lawson built Know Your Representatives: click anywhere on a US map, or search an address, and see the members of Congress who represent that place, along with their voting records, profiles, and official contact channels. It pulls from public sources like the Census geocoder and open legislative data. A clean, nonpartisan way to see who represents a given place and how to reach them.

Netlify is now available in the Cursor marketplace. If you build on Netlify and code in Cursor, you can now add the official Netlify plugin so the agent works with accurate, up-to-date context on the platform: functions, edge functions, Blobs, Database, Image CDN, forms, caching, the AI Gateway, CLI, and deploys. 13 skills and 27 rules, maintained by Netlify and open source. https://lnkd.in/g_CfKDU9

Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 is now available in Netlify's AI Gateway. Drop the Anthropic SDK into any Netlify Function and start generating. The AI Gateway handles API keys, authentication, caching, and rate limiting automatically, so you can skip the infrastructure wiring and ship. Available for all Function types. See the example in the changelog: https://lnkd.in/gy5tAxRW

Mark your calendars for July. Mike Gualtieri is speaking at BSidesPGH on July 10 at Rivers Casino. His talk, "Guardrails: No Longer a Magic Word," takes on a problem more teams are running into as they ship AI-assisted code: asking an agent not to do something is not a guardrail. Real guardrails have to live outside the agent's nondeterministic state, where a model can't simply decide to ignore them. If you're thinking about how to secure AI-assisted development, this is one to catch. Check out BSidesPGH here: https://www.bsidespgh.com/

Happy Pride Month from #HotAppSummer! 🏳️🌈☀️ Dana Lawson built House of Pride Icons: a glitter-bright celebration of LGBTQIA+ champions around the world – the elders, artists, organizers, and everyday people who have kept fighting for equality and dignity. It spans activists across continents, with a featured champion each day and a wall for leaving a little love. Pride as both party and promise. Come learn about the people who moved the work forward!
