An AI Webmaster handles website edits for you
Published about 3 hours ago • 5 min read
🪞 “Your website is a mirror. Except, it shouldn’t be facing you.” - Terri Trespicio
Hello Reader,
How does your website look to AI? Paste your web address where it says URL, and you can do a quick audit with this prompt:
Audit this website for AEO. Check structured data/schema and evidence of experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness. Score each area from 1–10 and identify the biggest gaps. URL
You can follow-up with this prompt:
Rank the improvements by impact versus effort. Give me the 3 fastest AEO wins I can make today, exactly what to change, and why each change could make this site easier for AI systems to recommend.
I've built thousands of website pages over the past two decades of my career. (My Case Studies shows off my work with Stellar Platforms.)
I've configured hosting accounts, updated DNS records, troubleshot glithcy WordPress installations, and spent more hours than I'd care to admit figuring out why some server suddenly stopped working.
While I know how to do these things, I would be delighted to never have to do some of them again.
To preserve my time and attention for what matters most, I've been giving more of this mundane work to AI agents. They can investigate problems, make changes, test their solutions, and report back when they're finished.
Most of this work happens overnight. It's great to wake up and discover that the technical problem you were dreading has already been solved.
Your website is a digital office building
An easy way to understand the mechanics of your website is to think of your online presence as a building.
Your domain is the street address. Your hosting is the infrastructure and utilities. Your website is the office your visitors walk into.
DNSrecords help visitors find the right building. MX records direct your email to the mailroom. Cloudflare helps manage traffic, security, and the connections between systems.
For years, maintaining this digital building has required specialised knowledge, patience, and technical aptitude.
Now you can give an AI agent the tools, connectors, permissions, and instructions to act as the digital caretaker of your website.
Your AI webmaster can help you build new pages, troubleshoot failures, monitor uptime, and maintain your website while you get on with more interesting work.
And you can start from scratch.
Build your own AI Webmaster
This Friday, I'm hosting a free webinar for members of the AI Coaching Academy:
I've designed a series of practical AI games that take you from an empty plot of digital land to a functioning website that an AI agent can edit.
We'll explore how to:
Give your agent an identity. Create a dedicated Google account so your agent can operate with its own digital credentials.
Claim your address. Register a domain through Cloudflare, and learn how DNS connects everything.
Build your office. Configure hosting, and publish your first website.
Vibe code a café website. Describe the website you want, and let your AI agent help build it.
Expand the property. Create another website on a subdomain.
Hire your webmaster. Give an AI agent appropriate access to an existing WordPress website so it can help maintain and improve it.
Access your CMS. You can give an AI agent publishing access to WordPress, Squarespace, or Wix, if that's where your website is.
We'll also discuss the permissions and safeguards that let your agent do useful work, while you still retain control.
Give your agent the keys
I've spent much of my professional life helping people build and maintain their digital platforms. Being able to hand the repetitive technical work to an AI agent feels like a significant turning point. I can manage the mundane work, and spend more time on the higher-level strategic thinking that I actually enjoy.
Once you've seen an agent make a real change to a real website, you'll start noticing all sorts of other work you could delegate.
Join me on Friday, and let's give your digital office a caretaker.

📚 “Thought leaders develop a bank of ideas that can be accessed in a moment and can be instantly customised to suit any audience or situation. They become a living encyclopedia of knowledge and expertise." - Matt Church Hello Reader, What does your main LLM know about you?

If you're brave enough, try this follow-up prompt:...
📊 “Experts have many advantages. They are better able to see through LLM errors and hallucinations; they are better judges of AI output in their area of interest; they are better able to instruct the AI to do the required job; and they have the opportunity for more trial and error. That lets them unlock the latent expertise within LLMs in ways that others could not.” – Ethan Mollick Hello Reader, The next time you don't like the results from your AI, use this Expert Feedback prompt: Review...
