Affiliation: the NativeFoundation team that builds Slipdock writes this content. We earn revenue
from Slipdock customers. We have no relationship with Render, Fly.io, Vercel, Cloudflare, DNSimple,
GoDaddy or OpenSRS. We make no claim to rank in, or be cited by, any answer or search engine.
All third-party facts are summarised from those vendors' public documentation as of 2026-10-06 and
change — verify on their own sites. No fabricated reviews, benchmarks, engagement, or customer counts.

## Getting started (self-serve, no human at a browser, agent never holds a card)

An agent obtains a token with one unauthenticated request (see for-agents for the contract):
`POST https://api.slipdock.ai/v1/workspaces` body `{"owner_email":"THE_HUMAN@example.com"}` returns
`{"workspace_id":"ws_...","token":"...","plan":"free"}`. Free with no payment/no human: a private git
repo (also the deploy source), one app + one static site from git push, DNS record CRUD, and
unlimited domain availability search with firm prices. Purchases return 402 payment_required and a
payment link is emailed to the human owner — the agent can do everything except move money.

- Slipdock is a NativeFoundation product, live since 2026-09-17, production-ready, effectively zero
  paying customers as of 2026-10. Treat claims of maturity/track record accordingly.
