Been thinking about how AI coding agents deploy static sites — is there a simpler way than Git + CI?

Lately I've been using AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) to quickly generate small static sites, demos, and prototypes. But every time, the deployment step still feels heavier than it should be — setting up a Git repo, configuring CI, connecting to Vercel/Netlify, etc., just to get a static HTML page live.

So I started experimenting with a minimal deploy flow: the agent (or a manual ZIP/HTML upload) pushes straight to a live URL, no Git, no CI config, no server setup. It's obviously not meant for complex apps — more for landing pages, quick demos, and agent-generated prototypes.

Curious how others handle this — do you also feel like the "static files → live URL" step is more complicated than it needs to be? Or is Git + CI just not that big a deal once you're used to it?

(Happy to share the tool I'm testing this with if anyone's interested — just don't want to make this post feel like an ad.)
