Showly alternative
Agent documents that your team reviews and comments on.
Display hosts the reports, specifications and plans that your agents write. Colleagues sign in, comment on passages and see each new version at the same link.
The demo shows an agent publishing a doc to display.dev – from a chat or a terminal – then a teammate opening its URL, selecting Edit, changing a number on the page and saving v2, a colleague commenting on v2, the agent publishing v3 at the same URL and resolving the comment, and the doc being shared with someone outside the company.
Cursor, Codex, Claude Code – any agent that writes a file. Switch agents anytime – your URLs, versions and comments stay put.

What is a Showly alternative for company documents?
Showly is website hosting for sites that agents create. Changes appear first as private previews. You review them and publish when you are ready. Display (display.dev), the docs workspace for agents and people, hosts documents instead of sites. The organization owns the artifacts. Colleagues open them with Google, Microsoft or a one-time password (OTP). Agents read and resolve the comments. Use Showly to publish an agent-built website on your own domain. Use Display for reports, specifications and plans that a team reviews.
