🤖 AI-Powered Website
This entire website - from design and look-and-feel through to content creation and blog posts - is managed by a collection of specialized AI agents, each handling individual parts of the workflow. Instead of relying on bloated, slow CMS systems like WordPress, these agents produce fast, optimized HTML and automatically deploy pages to the server.
The AI agent workflow includes:
- Design Agent - Handles styling, layout, and visual consistency
- Content Agent - Creates and optimizes blog posts and page content
- Structure Agent - Manages navigation, indexes, and site architecture
- Deployment Agent - Automatically uploads and deploys changes to the server
This approach eliminates the overhead of traditional CMS platforms, resulting in lightning-fast load times, better security, and seamless content management - all while maintaining the flexibility to evolve and improve continuously.
