I’m cranking out sites and content daily, as ideas come to mind.
The toolkit is simple. WordPress, which at the start of this year ran 43.1% of all websites by W3Techs’ count, so there’s a plugin for nearly everything. On top of it, a bunch of OpenAI WordPress plugins that let you quickly generate content and graphics for a new site. I suspect there are also ChatGPT-style plugins that would let you add an OpenAI chatbot to a site.
At the time, tax-domicile.com was the only one live. All the content on the site was created by AI, and it took just a couple of hours — me learning WordPress included — to put up. The tracking system is built, and so are a good many of the account-management bits, so that people can use their phone’s location data to automatically track their proper tax domicile for the last ten years.
Why anyone would want that: because the rules are counted in days and the record is yours to keep. New York, for instance, treats you as a statutory resident if you “maintain a permanent place of abode in New York State for substantially all of the taxable year” and “spend 184 days or more in New York State during the taxable year.” Most people can’t say with confidence where they were on a given Tuesday three years ago. Their phone can, and it has been keeping the diary all along. The site simply asks it.
We hope to use all these tools shortly to launch liv2.ai, a personal concierge powered by AI. Still in development.
And there’s a third site I just haven’t pressed the button on. It was entirely built by AI, and it teaches noobs to program using AI.
The constraint has moved. It used to be that a site cost a developer and a few weeks, so you only built the ideas you were sure about. Now a site costs a couple of hours, so you can afford a certain prodigality with ideas and let the traffic tell you which were good. Some of them will be nothing. That’s fine. The bad sites cost almost nothing now.
