Build with AI, ship in one command

No coding experience needed. Describe what you want to an AI tool like Claude Code, then use the CLI to put it live for the whole team in seconds.

Step 1 — Install the CLI (one time per computer)

  1. Open Terminal on your Mac. Press Command + Space, type Terminal, then press Enter.
  2. Copy the command below, paste it into Terminal, and press Enter. Wait until it finishes — no errors means you're good.
npm install -g https://instant.hy.pe/cli/package.tgz

Requires Node.js (which includes npm). If the command isn't found, install Node from nodejs.org first.

Step 2 — Set up your project folder

  1. Create an empty folder for your project and open it in Claude Code (or Cursor, Windsurf, or any AI coding tool).
  2. Open Terminal inside that folder — in Claude Code, that's usually a panel at the bottom.
  3. Copy the command below, paste it into Terminal, and press Enter.
  4. When it asks for a token, copy your personal token below and paste it in.

This writes an AGENTS.md file (so your AI knows the platform rules) and logs this computer in. You only do this once per project.

Your personal token — valid for 30 days. Treat it like a password.

Step 3 — Build your site with AI

Your AI tool reads AGENTS.md automatically — it already knows Instant's rules (static files, no login screens, the SDK, how to deploy). Just describe what you want.

Build me a site for our team. What I want: [describe your site here — e.g. "a dashboard that greets me and gives me an AI tip for the day", "a team bingo card that saves my progress", "a tool that summarizes notes I paste in"]

Replace the highlighted line with what you actually want. The AI handles the rest.

Step 4 — Ship it

Once the AI has built the site, run this command from the same folder. Replace my-site-name with whatever you want the URL to be.

instant-hype deploy . --name my-site-name

Your site goes live at my-site-name.instant.hy.pe and appears in the gallery. Run the same command again any time you want to update it.
