How to deploy an app built with an AI assistant
Your assistant finished the app and it runs at an address like localhost:3000. That address only works on your own computer: nobody else can open it, not even on the same Wi-Fi in most offices, and sending it on WhatsApp does not change that. Putting the app on the internet, on a link that stays up and that you can restrict to your team, is what people call deploying. Pick the guide for the assistant you used.
- Any AI coding assistant: The general guide: what "deploy" means, what your options are, and how an assistant can ship the app for you through the CLI.
- Claude Code: From a folder on your laptop to a URL with access rules, driven from the Claude Code conversation.
- Codex: The same flow for apps written with OpenAI Codex, including how to share the result publicly or only with your team.
The short version
- Install the CLI once:
npm install -g ghosty-cli. Every command supports--json, so the assistant can run it for you. - Sign in without a password:
ghosty login(magic link, Google, GitHub, or passkey). ghosty initcreates a normal repository in your own GitHub, and each push becomes a live version on its own URL, with access rules you choose.
