Claude has been buying domains and deploying to Vercel for me using aws cli, vercel cli, and gh cli since December. Personally I prefer a cli to an MCP server for this type of thing.

Are any of these domains public? I’d love to study and better understand the use case for needing to AIify this.

As a user of the internet I can only imagine this worsening my experience by allowing even more slop to permeate the network's every orifice.

Also, when an agent sets up a domain, who is the domain owner? Who responds to takedown requests? What if it then decides to host illegal content at the domain (generated or otherwise). Who is responsible? Agents aren't (yet) legal persons, so it must be the person who owns the agent, but if that person never even sees the legal agreement being agreed to how would it hold up in court? If the person didn't direct the creation or hosting of illegal content, what then?

That is ironic. Four years ago, cloudflare didn’t let human me have an account / buy domains because I signed up, never used a single service but didn’t respond to a request to verify my drivers license > This account is in violation of Cloudflare's Terms of Service. Specifically fraud. The suspension is permanent. (Yes that’s really it. Sincerely. No “but I also abused X”)

> By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us: (i) that you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Websites and Online Services

CloudFlare ToS has you covered. A human must accept it, even with the new agentic flow.

Have you talked to Andreesen Horowitz yet? That elevator pitch alone should get you a few million.

Curious, is there an Andreesen Horowitz Agent MCP?

Let’s automate this end to end, from idea to raising capitals. Vibe Angels should just be multi agents managing how much capitals to allocate to each projects.

It’s not AIifying one thing. It’s AIifying the entire work flow… every detail. Allowing domain names is just one aspect of it.

The agent does everything. “Make a website that does…“ and it can handle everything from start to finish. It’s that good now.

Most of the sysadmin and devops team have been downsized in India because of AI.

Basically, now it's trivial for any new devops guy to run such a query in Claude Code:

“Log in to this production server, find out all services it runs and their deployment method, create documentation about everything, and generate a repeatable, auditable deployment workflow.”

Devops and sysadmins can no longer withhold information to maintain job security.

Boom, 80% of the team gone.

I know companies are doing migrations of production Postgres and MySQL on 1000s of machines using AI agents.

I’m imagining how many SaaS will be automated out and simply be an "agent skill" in ClaudeCode.

I was wondering if someone was going to allow payments through CLI at some point.

But jokes aside having a central place to manage billing and accounts for deploying infra across multiple providers is pretty awesome imo.

if they have a terraform provider even better. I wonder if also makes multi tenant architectures or environment isolation easier to provision as well.
