How to Connect Netlify to AI (Publish AI-Built Pages)

Building a simple web page with AI is easy now. Getting it online is the part that still trips people up. Connecting Netlify to AI closes the gap: ask Viro to build the page, then ask it to publish, and it’s live at its own address.

For existing sites, it also answers the everyday questions: why did that deploy fail, what came in through the contact form.

This guide shows how to connect Netlify to Viro AI, the free AI assistant with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Viro’s own model in one app, and what you can do once it’s connected.

What you can do when Netlify is connected to AI

Read and catch up:

List your sites with their addresses, and a site’s recent deploys with their status
Tell you why a deploy failed, using Netlify’s own error
Tell you whether a site is public or kept private by Netlify
Show the latest form submissions on a site

Make changes, with your OK:

Publish a web page Viro built in chat as a new site on your account
Update a site with a new version of the page
Roll a site back to an earlier version
Redeploy a site that builds from a repository, or stop a running deploy
Rename a site, which changes its netlify.app address

What it won’t do: delete a site or deploy, read or change environment variables, add or change domains or DNS, change who can open a site, or publish anything other than a page built in chat.

How to connect Netlify to AI, step by step

Open Viro AI at ai.viro.app, or in the iPhone, Android or Mac app, and sign in. It’s free.
Go to Customize → Connectors, open Netlify and select Connect to Viro. A Connect Netlify window opens.
Select Approve at Netlify. Netlify opens in a new tab; sign in and select Authorize.
Come back to Viro. The window finishes by itself once you’ve approved, and Netlify is listed under Yours.

What to ask Netlify once it’s connected

Once it’s connected, just ask in any chat. Use your own names and dates.

Build and publish

“Build a landing page for my bakery, then publish it to Netlify.”
“Publish it as spring-sale.”
“I changed the headline. Publish the new version.”

Your sites

“Why did my last deploy fail?”
“What came in through my contact form?”

Fixes

“Roll my site back to the previous version.”
“Rename my site to spring-sale.”

Does the AI change Netlify without asking?

No. Every publish or change shows a card first. Publish to Netlify shows the page and the address it will have; nothing goes online until you select Publish site, and then the card offers Open site. Roll-backs, redeploys and renames work the same way. A page is published as it is when you confirm, so later edits aren’t online until you publish again.

Good to know

Published sites get an address ending in .netlify.app, named from the page title unless you choose one.
If the page uses a file that only exists in your Viro account, the card warns you that it won’t load online.

Is it private?

Viro reads your Netlify data only to answer what you ask. It is never used to train AI models and Viro never sells your data. Free-plan ads are matched to words in the current conversation, never to your identity or your connected apps, and no human reads your chats.

To disconnect, open Netlify in Customize → Connectors and select Disconnect. This deletes the connection Viro stored.
