Built with AI, crafted by human judgment.
One example of building creatively with AI: thinking out loud, directing a set of agents, iterating toward something good. The point isn't that AI made it. It's the work around it: framing the problem, building the harness, curating the inputs, and the human judgment that decides what's worth shipping.
The problem
Raise awareness of what I can do with AI, in a way that proves the capability instead of just claiming it. Most portfolios describe the work. I wanted the artifact itself to be the evidence, so I built this site by dogfooding the exact workflow. The recipient of this case study is me.
The method
01 / frame
Frame the problem
Before a model runs, the real work is understanding the goal, the business, and the constraints, then designing the harness the agents operate inside.
02 / direct
Direct, out loud
I think through ideas with my voice, steer a set of agents, and curate the source material they work from, iterating as it takes shape.
03 / judge
Judge the output
Models generate; judgment decides. Taste, behavioral-design sense, and hard editing turn raw output into something worth shipping.
The proof

Guess what this site cost Human time, credits, domain, hosting. One real number, recomputed every deploy.
Most of it is human judgment, not compute. Take a guess at the total so far:
