Artifact hosting
Host the AI artifact and the review process around it.
An AI artifact is often more than a web page and less than a production application. It may be a report, plan, prototype, dashboard, or explainer that needs to be understood and approved. HTML Docs treats hosting as the entry point and collaboration as the reason the page remains useful.
A URL solves distribution. It does not solve review.
Teams still need to know which version is current, where feedback belongs, and how the agent should receive revision requests. Hosting the page together with comments, history, and API access keeps those decisions from fragmenting across tools.
How it works
From local output to a reviewed artifact.
Generate
Create a complete HTML artifact with the AI tool that already has the source context.
Host
Publish it to a durable HTML Docs URL or an eligible custom domain.
Review
Invite humans to read, interact, and comment on the live result.
Revise
Let a human or agent update the same document and preserve the history.
What changes when review is built into the page
Artifact-shaped hosting
Skip production infrastructure when the primary job is stakeholder review.
Controlled discovery
Published pages are noindex until explicitly listed for public discovery.
Expansion path
Move from one document into multi-page sites, videos, or source-grounded courses.
HTML Docs vs. Static file hosting
Choose for the job you actually need to finish. This comparison focuses on workflow, not a blanket claim that one tool replaces another.
| Criterion | HTML Docs | Static file hosting |
|---|---|---|
| Primary object | Living collaborative artifact | Uploaded files and assets |
| Review state | Comments, collaborators, versions | External tools required |
| Agent updates | Document and region APIs | Replace the deployed file or build |
Frequently asked questions
What counts as an AI artifact?
A report, plan, dashboard, prototype, explainer, or other rendered work product created or shaped by an AI tool.
Is artifact hosting the same as application hosting?
Not quite. Artifact hosting optimizes for sharing and review; application hosting optimizes for running maintained software.
Can an artifact use a custom domain?
Eligible plans support custom domains for published pages and multi-page sites.
Can I keep an artifact out of search results?
Yes. Standalone published artifacts are noindex by default and become indexable only through an explicit public-listing action.
Publish the next artifact from where it was created.
