Give every employee a place to build.

Simple Host is an open-source server. An employee describes a page to their AI agent, the agent publishes it, and anyone with the link can open it.

A page is plain HTML with a small data store attached. That is what my manager's project board is, and it is enough for the sign-up forms, polls and short guides I see colleagues make. Nobody has to stand up a backend first.

Where this came from

In spring 2026 I ran a two-hour AI workshop at work. It was remote, at eight on a Monday morning, and I wanted people to have somewhere to keep going after the call ended. So I put up an internal copy of this: a place where you could describe a page to an AI agent, see it live, change it, and send the link to a colleague.

By September 2026 that instance had passed a hundred accounts, most of them people who do not write code for a living. My manager runs his project board on it. The page he built pulls tickets from Jira, draws the timeline, and is the screen we look at in the daily standup. A programme manager tracks a cross-team project on it so he can see who is waiting on whom.

The server that runs all of it is a 1 CPU, 1 GB box and costs $5 a month.

I think everyone carries an idea that only they can see. Give them a canvas and a patient collaborator and most of them will build it. The agent is the collaborator. This is the canvas.

Why it is this simple

Agents already write HTML, and they can read and write a JSON document without a schema. Simple Host serves the first and stores the second.

Each site gets a folder of files, one JSON document of up to 1 MB, and append-only collections whose items are up to 64 KB each. A page reads and writes that data from the browser. Every deploy is versioned, so an earlier version of the files is one rollback away. Saved data is not versioned.

Cloudflare, Firebase and Supabase all do pieces of this. They still need a developer to connect the pieces. Here an agent with the Website Deploy skill does it from "make a page where the team can vote on lunch".

Running it inside your company

One script on a fresh Ubuntu server installs everything: the binary, Postgres and a web server that obtains its own HTTPS certificates. It has been run end to end, from an empty machine to a working instance. Re-running it after a failure is safe. The container image is published for both Intel and ARM, so nothing is ever compiled on your server.

• Sign-in. An emailed code through Resend, or Google OAuth. Restrict Google to your Workspace domain on the OAuth client. Emailed codes go to whatever address someone types; the server has no domain allowlist, so keep the instance inside your network or accept open sign-up.
• Admin view. The person running the instance sees every account and every site in one list. There is no way to remove an account from that page.
• Where data goes. Site files and site data live on your disk and in your Postgres. Sign-in talks to Resend or Google. People's agents see whatever they paste into them.
• No model on the server. AI create and voice transcription are off unless you configure them. People keep using the agent they already pay for.
• Who can write. Anyone who can load a page can read it. On the shared hostname anyone can also change a site's saved data; the files themselves change only with the owner's API key. Per-person saves, gated by visitor sign-in, exist only on a site that has its own domain.

What it will not do

Try it

simple-host.app runs the same code. Sign in, install the skill, and ask your agent for a page. For an instance of your own, the install script and the published image are in the repository, and an instance serves its own documentation so your people's agents publish to it rather than here.
