Some examples
Describe your vision: 'A clean personal website showing my art portfolio with about page and contact form.'
Agent builds it. You review and request changes.
Publish to Vercel, Netlify, or GitHub Pages — all free.
Update over years as you grow.

What is the most useful first goal when AI helps you build a personal website?
Maximize file size
Add as many animations as possible
Ship a simple page that says who you are and what you do
Avoid using any tools
What does an 'eval' for an agent measure?
How polite the model sounds
Whether the agent reliably completes a defined task end to end
The temperature setting
The exact wording of every prompt
Which is the clearest sign an 'agent' is really just a chatbot in disguise?
It uses a system prompt
It can remember last week's conversation
It can call a search tool
It only produces text and never takes actions
Why is logging every tool call an agent makes a baseline requirement?
Logs are needed to debug, audit, and explain agent behavior to users
Logs make the model run faster
Logs replace the need for testing
Logs are only for legal teams
Why does an AI agent need 'tools' such as a browser, calendar, or code runner?
Tools shrink the context window
Tools make the model speak more naturally
Tools let the agent take actions in the world instead of only producing text
Tools replace the need for any prompts
What is the difference between an agent's memory and its context window?
Memory is faster but less accurate than context
Context lasts forever; memory is cleared every minute
Nothing — they are the same thing
Context is what the model sees right now; memory persists across runs
An agent that costs $0.04 per task on average will run 10,000 times this month. Roughly what should you budget?
About $4,000
About $40
About $400
About $4
What should an agent's trace let you do after a run?
Hide what the agent did from the user
Make the agent run faster next time automatically
Replace the need for any tests
Reconstruct each step, decision, and tool call so you can debug or audit
