Now you can do the following in a more seamless way: - Prompt new changes using Agent Runners more quickly from a GitHub pull request link - Copy output from Agent Runners faster so you can get back to what you’re doing - Track pull request ownership so you can understand who is doing what at-a-glance ## Start prompting updates from GitHub PR comment link GitHub-linked sites already receive a comment on each pull request with links to build logs, failure diagnostics, and more. That comment now also includes a **Make changes** link that opens Agent Runner for the site, with the pull request‘s branch pre-selected in the dropdown. This makes it faster to act on review feedback or investigate a failing build. Learn more about [Agent Runners](https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/agent-runners/overview/). ## Copy to clipboard in single click You can now copy Agent Runner output with a single click. Previously, grabbing output text — especially long responses or anything on mobile — meant manually selecting it all. A new copy-to-clipboard button now appears alongside Agent Runner output, making it easy to drop results into a doc, a message, or wherever you need them. ## Pull requests auto-assign people for clearer ownership Agent Runner–created pull requests now automatically assign the person who opened them, provided their GitHub account is linked with Netlify. Before this change, pull requests opened by an agent runner had no assignee, making it harder for teams to track ownership at a glance. Now, when Netlify can match the user to a GitHub account, the pull request is assigned to them automatically. To take advantage of this, make sure your GitHub account is connected under your [Netlify account settings](https://docs.netlify.com/manage/accounts-and-billing/user-settings/).

Use the OpenAI SDK directly in your Netlify Functions without managing API keys or authentication. The AI Gateway handles everything automatically. Here’s an example using the GPT-5.5 model: ``` import OpenAI from 'openai'; export default async () => { const openai = new OpenAI(); const response = await openai.responses.create({ model: 'gpt-5.5', input: 'Give a concise explanation of how AI works.', }); return Response.json(response);}; ``` GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro are available for all Function types and Agent Runners. You get automatic access to Netlify’s caching, rate limiting, and authentication infrastructure. Learn more in the [AI Gateway documentation](https://docs.netlify.com/build/ai-gateway/overview/) and [Agent Runners documentation](https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/agent-runners/overview/).

Previously, agent runs were automatically titled based on your prompt, which made longer lists harder to scan once you had several runs going. Editing the title lets you give each agent run a short, meaningful name, such as the feature you’re building or the bug you’re chasing, so you can find it again quickly and send it to a teammate without needing to explain which run is which. ## Try it out Open any agent run, select the title, and type a new name. The updated title appears in your list of runs and anywhere the run is shared. Learn more about [Agent Runners](https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/agent-runners/overview/).

When building web components, pages, or applications, AI agents often default to generic, cookie-cutter aesthetics. The `frontend-design` skill steers agents toward creative, polished output that avoids that “AI slop” look and instead produces UIs with real visual identity and craft. Here’s what a generated calculator component looks like without the skill: ![Calculator without frontend-design skill](/images/changelog/frontend-design-skill-without.png) And here’s the same prompt with the `frontend-design` skill enabled: ![Calculator with frontend-design skill](/images/changelog/frontend-design-skill-with.png) The skill is automatically available in Agent Runners and activates when the agent is asked to build web components, pages, or applications. No configuration required—just prompt your agent to build a UI and the skill handles the rest. Learn more about [Agent Runners](https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/agent-runners/overview/) and available skills in the Netlify docs.

Use the Anthropic SDK directly in your Netlify Functions without managing API keys or authentication. The AI Gateway handles everything automatically. Here’s an example using the Claude Opus 4.7 model: ``` import Anthropic from '@anthropic-ai/sdk'; export default async () => { const anthropic = new Anthropic(); const response = await anthropic.messages.create({ model: 'claude-opus-4-7', max_tokens: 4096, messages: [ { role: 'user', content: 'How can AI improve my coding?' } ] }); return new Response(JSON.stringify(response), { headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } });}; ``` Claude Opus 4.7 is available for all Function types and Agent Runners. You get automatic access to Netlify’s caching, rate limiting, and authentication infrastructure.

Here’s what’s new. ## Create a new project from a prompt The `netlify create` command now builds you a new site from scratch, triggering [Agent Runners](https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/agent-runners/overview/): ``` netlify create "a landing page for a SaaS product with a waitlist signup" ``` This single command will: - Create a new Netlify project for you - Deploy it to a live URL - Pull down the code so you can start iterating locally Prefer to build with GitHub? The [Netlify CLI](https://cli.netlify.com/) can also create a new GitHub repo and automatically hook it up to your new Netlify project, no manual setup required. ## Deploy without an account Need to spin up something quick without creating an account first or signing in? The new `--allow-anonymous` flag lets you deploy without a Netlify account: ``` netlify deploy --allow-anonymous ``` This will create the project, deploy it to a live URL, and let you claim the project within an hour. This is especially useful for AI agents that need to create temporary projects without requiring Netlify credentials upfront. ## Better agent experience throughout We’ve resolved the major issues agents commonly hit with the CLI. The CLI is now a more predictable integration point whether you’re building with an AI coding assistant or orchestrating your own agents. Install or update the [Netlify CLI](https://cli.netlify.com/) to try it out: ``` npm install -g netlify-cli@latest ``` [Permalink to Netlify CLI adds prompt-based creation and anonymous deploys Permalink](/changelog/2026-03-27-create-and-deploy-anything-netlify-clis-improved-ax/) - [ ## Deploy from Codex with the Netlify Plugin ](/changelog/2026-03-27-deploy-from-codex-netlify-plugin/) March 27, 2026 - [ai](/changelog/tag/ai/) - [extensions](/changelog/tag/extensions/) - [agent runners](/changelog/tag/agent-runners/) You can now deploy sites to Netlify directly from OpenAI Codex using the Netlify plugin in the [Codex plugin directory](https://developers.openai.com/codex/plugins). ![Netlify plugin in Codex](/images/changelog/codex-netlify-plugin.png) Codex plugins extend Codex with apps, skills, and MCP servers, to access external tools, data, and workflows directly from your coding environment. With the Netlify plugin, Codex can create projects, configure settings, and deploy without leaving the coding workflow. **What you can do** **Deploy directly from Codex** - Deploy projects using the Netlify CLI workflow - Generate preview URLs automatically - Deploy to production when ready - Validate build configuration before deployment **Manage your projects** - Create new projects - Install extensions - Manage environment variables - Configure visitor access controls - Manage forms - Update project settings **Review and fix deployments** - Inspect deploy status - Retrieve build logs - Identify configuration issues - Iterate on fixes within Codex Codex is also available through [Agent Runners](https://netlify.com/platform/agent-runners), where you can prompt AI agents against your live project and deploy changes directly from the Netlify Dashboard. The Netlify plugin for Codex is available now in the [Codex plugin directory](https://developers.openai.com/codex/plugins). [Permalink to Deploy from Codex with the Netlify Plugin Permalink](/changelog/2026-03-27-deploy-from-codex-netlify-plugin/) - [ ## Introducing Prompt Templates ](/changelog/2026-03-18-prompt-templates/) March 18, 2026 - [agent runners](/changelog/tag/agent-runners/) - [workflow](/changelog/tag/workflow/) To help you and your agents build more effectively, we’re introducing reusable Prompt Templates available directly from within Netlify. Browse a [curated collection of reusable prompts](https://docs.netlify.com/prompt-templates/browse/) for common Netlify workflows: accessibility audits, A/B testing with Edge Functions, and more. Each template uses variable placeholders so you can adapt it to your project without starting from scratch. Prompt Templates live directly in your project’s [agent runs dashboard](https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/agent-runners/overview/). From there you can: - **Browse** public prompt templates - **Customize and save** your own versions of any template for your team - **Submit templates** back to the community to share what is working for you Learn more about [managing Prompt Templates](https://docs.netlify.com/prompt-templates/manage/) for your team. [Permalink to Introducing Prompt Templates Permalink](/changelog/2026-03-18-prompt-templates/) - [ ## Limit AI usage on your team ](/changelog/2026-03-06-limit-ai-feature-usage/) March 6, 2026 - [agent runners](/changelog/tag/agent-runners/) Team Owners can now set a credit limit on [AI inference usage](https://docs.netlify.com/manage/accounts-and-billing/billing/billing-for-credit-based-plans/how-credits-work/#credit-usage-for-ai-inference) to keep [Agent Runners](https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/agent-runners/overview/) and [AI Gateway](https://docs.netlify.com/build/ai-gateway/overview/) costs within budget. When your team’s usage hits the credit cap you define, active agent runs stop, new agent runs are blocked, and continued AI Gateway usage is paused to help you keep more of your credit balance. This is especially useful for teams actively using AI features who want predictable monthly costs without manually watching the meter. Set it once, and Netlify enforces it automatically across your entire team. Learn more in our docs on [limiting AI features](https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/manage-ai-features/#limit-ai-feature-usage). ## Agent run credits tracking You can also track how much each agent run task costs on your agent runs page, shown next to how long the agent took to run the task. Learn more about [AI inference usage](https://docs.netlify.com/manage/accounts-and-billing/billing/billing-for-credit-based-plans/how-credits-work/#credit-usage-for-ai-inference) and [how credits work](https://docs.netlify.com/manage/accounts-and-billing/billing/billing-for-credit-based-plans/how-credits-work/).
