If you're building agents that generate apps from prompts, your users want to build apps, not manage databases. Industry-leading platforms like Replit and V0 create databases on Neon because it aligns with how agents work: Instant, branchable, serverless Postgres data layer, invisible to users.
Neon Features for Agents:
- Instant Provisioning: your users never wait for infrastructure.
- Snapshots: let users toggle between checkpoints of code and state together.
- Low cost-per-Database: automatic scale to zero and 350ms cold starts.
- Full-Stack, Batteries-Included: Neon Auth, Data API included at no added charge.
- Granular API Controls: Track and control usage for flexible limits and invoicing.
Powered by Neon.

"The speed of provisioning and serverless scale-to-zero of Neon is critical for us. We can serve users iterating on quick ideas efficiently while also supporting them as they scale, without making them think about database setup."

How It Works
Agent creates an app
A vibe coder imagines an app. Your agent builds it, full-stack. Real apps need databases, not just UI scaffolds or code snippets. Neon lets your agent add a fully functional Postgres database to every app it builds. Whether they’re prototyping, testing, or deploying, your users get persistence out of the box.
Gets a working database instantly, with no friction
Neon provisions the database behind the scenes via API, so your user never has to leave your flow or sign up for an external service. Provisioning is instant, invisible, and integrated. Your agent simply requests a project, and Neon returns a live Postgres instance. The result is a seamless experience where databases just show up, and the vibe never breaks.
Agent adds auth
Neon makes it easy to add secure, production-ready authentication and access control to agent-generated apps using Neon Auth. Your users don’t have to wire it up themselves – auth just works, right out of the box. One less thing to worry about, and one more reason their app feels real.
Infra stays affordable as more apps are created
Imagine spinning up a new RDS instance every few seconds: you’d blow your budget on the first invoice. Most managed databases aren’t built to support thousands of isolated instances, especially not cheaply. Neon’s serverless architecture solves this. Databases automatically scale to zero when idle and wake up instantly. You don’t pay unless the database is active or stores data.
Branching unlocks time travel + safety
Neon branching makes it easy to build full-version history into your platform. Your agent can snapshot schema and data at any moment, and vibe coders can roll back to a working version of their app, preview earlier states, or safely test changes.
Stay in control with quotas
The Neon API allows you to track usage per project and branch with detailed endpoints for compute time, storage, and network I/O. You can enforce quotas via the API to match your free or paid plans, giving you full control over how resources are consumed.
It's all just Postgres
The most-loved database by developers is also the most practical choice for agents. Postgres is flexible, powerful, and battle-tested. Neon is simply Postgres: with all the extensions, full SQL syntax, and everything your agent already understands.
"Integrating Neon was a no-brainer. It gives every Databutton app a production-grade Postgres database in seconds, with zero overhead. Our AI agent can now create, manage, and debug the entire stack, not just code."
Martin Skow Røed — CTO and co-founder of Databutton
Platform Scale
AI Agents are now provisioning 80% of Neon databases (tens of thousands per day)
The scale is massive, and Neon is built to handle it.
The Neon MCP server enables any client to interact with Neon's API using natural language. AI agents can use Neon's MCP server to automate tasks such as creating databases, running SQL queries, and managing database migrations.
The @neondatabase/toolkit is a lightweight client designed for AI agents that need to spin up Postgres databases in seconds and run SQL queries. It includes both the Neon TypeScript SDK and the Neon Serverless Driver.
"The combination of flexible resource limits and nearly instant database provisioning made Neon a no-brainer."
