Planning, describes how he renewed the company’s website in three days without hiring a traditional production agency. He coordinated two AI “employees” – Claude Code and ChatGPT – through Discord, using conversational prompts to define layout, copy, and functionality. The AI team handled design, WordPress theme coding, content creation, GA4 integration, and automated weekly‑monthly analytics reports.\n\nBeyond the initial launch, the author emphasizes that AI dramatically lowered the cost of ongoing improvements. Minor tweaks could be requested instantly, and the system continuously generated insights and suggested changes based on GA4 data. He frames the experience as a shift from treating a website as a finished product to viewing it as a constantly optimized marketing tool, with the human acting as manager and the AIs as specialized workers.","keyPoints":["Rebuilt I.K.E.
