Ink: A Deployment Platform Where Claude AI Agents Are the Primary Users
Ink (ml.ink) is a deployment platform where the primary users are AI agents, not humans. It was created to address the frustration of using Claude Code: while Claude can write a full-stack app in minutes, manually wiring up hosting, databases, DNS, and secrets takes about an hour.
Key Features and Workflow
The platform allows Claude to deploy applications with a single command: say "deploy this." Claude calls the create_service function, the platform auto-detects the framework, builds it, and returns a live URL at *.ml.ink.
Differentiation from Existing Services
- Unified Tool: One tool handles compute, databases, DNS, secrets, domains, metrics, and logs. Claude doesn't need to juggle separate providers.
- Error Handling for LLMs: When a deploy fails, Claude reads the build log, fixes the issue, and redeploys. Error responses are structured for LLMs rather than raw stack traces.
- DNS Zone Delegation: Delegate a zone once, and Claude can create subdomains instantly.
- Built-in Git Hosting: Claude pushes code and deploys without requiring GitHub.
- Shared Workspaces: Multiple agents and humans can collaborate on the same projects.
Additional Platform Details
The platform includes a human UI for logs, metrics, and DNS management. It offers GitHub integration for auto-redeploy functionality. Billing is per-minute with no per-seat charges.
The service is currently available with a free $2 trial that doesn't require a credit card. A 20% discount code "GOODFORTUNE" is offered for further testing.
Notably, Ink was built with Claude Code specifically for use with Claude Code.
