Assistant-native publishing
Publia works inside Claude and Codex through a one-time skill install, then lets you publish with a simple 'publish this' prompt.
Publia
Publia turns pages made in Claude or Codex into a live web page at a publia.sh address. Free to start, with CLI upload and browser drag-and-drop.
Overview
Publia is a publishing layer for AI-generated pages and other simple web content. It turns what you make in Claude or Codex into a live page at a real URL, and it also supports direct uploads from the terminal or browser drag-and-drop.
The product is built around a one-time setup: install the Publia skill, sign in, and then ask your assistant to publish. Free publishing includes a publia.sh address, while Pro adds custom domains, footer removal, password protection, a personal home page, and more storage.
Features
CLI upload
A page can be pushed live from the terminal with `npx publia-cli upload ./site`, which is useful when you already have a folder of files ready to go.
Drag-and-drop publishing
You can drop a file into the browser at publia.ai and put it online without setting up an assistant or command line workflow.
Hosted public links
Published pages get a `publia.sh` address on the free plan, with automatic HTTPS and an always-on shareable link.
Paid publishing controls
Pro adds custom domains, footer removal, password protection for any page, a personal home page, and increased storage.
Use Cases
Publish directly from Claude or Codex
Use Publia when you want an AI assistant to turn a draft, landing page, or announcement into a live web page without switching to a separate site builder.
Ship a folder from the terminal
Use the CLI when your content already exists as files in a local folder and you want to upload the whole site in one command.
Put a file online from the browser
Use browser drag-and-drop when you have a simple file or page and want to get it online with minimal setup.
Brand and protect published pages
Use Pro when you need a branded site on your own domain, with the option to remove the Publia footer and password-protect pages.

No. The setup guides say you can describe what you want and let Claude or Codex make the page, then publish it through Publia.
