If you're curious about AI + websites, you might want to watch this

I’ve been playing around with an embedded AI prompt in my new software (called PageMotor), and something so remarkable happened, I had to stop everything and make a video about it.

If you’re curious about practical applications of AI, you’ve got to see this:

Boom! Yes! The idea of embedding AI into the tool so it can use the tool, not be the tool, is such a powerful shift. It’s one of those concepts that sounds simple on the surface but fundamentally changes how we think about software design once you really internalize it.

I don’t usually talk much about my professional world here since this space is more for our shared creative interests, but I work in the enterprise digital infrastructure world … building distributed platforms that run close to where data is generated. A lot of what I focus on is that same transition you’re describing: moving from centralized, “cloud brain” systems toward local intelligence that’s embedded in the runtime itself, aware of context, data, and intent.

I actually did some work with MIT several several years ago exploring the future of human AI interaction and the idea that true intelligence would eventually have to live within the tools and platforms we use … not outside them. What you’re showing here is exactly that line of thinking made real.

I’m not completely familiar with everything you’re building yet, but it seems like you’re addressing some of the long-standing flaws in WordPress … building something more native, extensible, and maybe self-aware? That’s a space I know well; I’ve also spent years working with modern web stacks, containerized environments, and WordPress at scale, watching it evolve from a CMS into a framework for dynamic experiences.

Keep pushing this forward … you’re clearly on to something meaningful. Once AI can truly use the tool instead of being the tool, the entire paradigm of how we build and interact with software changes.

I wish I could understand a single concept/word you talk about.
What stands out to me most is that both yours and @Thomas replies, to me, read like they’re written by an ai program.
ie. come check out this new program that pays $2000 each week for only 5 hours of work. It’s amazing and has changed my life. I really want everyone to know about this. Etc…
Those messages that come from spam commenters and what not.

I do like that, for once, someone is talking about ai in a way that may help more than hurt. Up to this point its like ai is only discussed as a sort of short cut to do all research and thinking for you.

Very interesting, the enthusiasm is contagious even if I don’t understand anything you said.

Thank you for sharing

:joy: And this is exactly why I keep my work life separate from my fun life.

You nailed a lot of stuff I talk about on my weekly show, Practical AI.

And yes—PageMotor is a replacement for WordPress. It’s built the right way from the ground-up rather than having stuff tacked onto it over time.

One of the happy consequences of this type of architecture is that it’s much easier to get real-world results with anything, but especially new stuff like AI that needs a solid data model plus modular pathways for input and output.

“Blowing your mind…”? Could you please put that into perspective for us MP collectors/users and quantify it by the MP you acquired in the past that gave you an equal feeling?

Just be careful with what you’re embedding/internalizing and where…as you never know what will come out of it!

Ha! I’m not sure there’s an MP analogue for this kinda thing. Perhaps for some, a new mechanism like automatic feed or the KuruToga captures some of this feeling.

But it just comes down to usefulness. Concept cars are a good example.

I remember seeing concept cars in magazines in the 1990s, and they were always so cool. But if those cars ever made it to production—and 99% of them never really did—they were always watered-down versions of the original concept.

That always left me wondering, “Well how useful were the concept cars, then? They made a promise that was never really fulfilled.”

Most AI stuff—so far, at least—has sorta been like a concept car. Looks cool! Seems cool! But you actually need real-world context for AI results to be useful.

Embedding AI into tools is the production version of the AI concept car. AI results can be amazing, but they’re only useful if you can actually do something with them.

For casual AI users and enthusiasts, this is the chasm that must be crossed for AI to become truly useful.

I know I’ve been pretty excited getting a pencil, especially when it was one I didn’t know existed or one that rarely shows up. Have you not been inspired enough by a pencil to make a video about it?

I’m not very knowledgeable about concept cars, but I know for at least the Volvo LCP, even though it didn’t go into production, many of the technologies that went into it creating it were later used in other cars.

I haven’t played around with AI hardly at all, but for the majority of times I have used it, the results haven’t been good. Quite frustrating at times actually. So, I’m glad you’re getting some positive results with embedding it in your new software.
