AI is my CMS

I mean... it's not really, of course. I just thought such a thing would start to trickle out to people's minds as agentic workflows start to take hold. AI agents are already up in your codebase fingerbanging whole batches of files on command. What's the difference between a CMS taking some content and smashing it into some templates and an AI doing that same job instead?

@myobie recently blogged about replacing his CMS with an LLM-based workflow. The Bluesky post you had embedded made me think of that.

I don’t think something like that would be for me, but it’s obviously possible and I bet a lot of people are experimenting with it.

Personally, I just wonder why it’s preferable to a nice cross-platform interface built exactly for the purpose of managing content. 🤷

@amxmln @chriscoyier before I was always limited by syntax, shortcodes, fields, templated designs... and now I am not. "Change that to the nocookie youtube URL" without having to edit any shortcodes. POSSE is something I can finally do with "post this article to mastodon using `toot`". Etc.

Claude makes its own tools, I haven't even looked at what it has made. And when I want something new, it makes new tools for itself and updates its docs (the docs are not for me).
