Where is AI used?

• I prompted Shelley — the LLM agent created by the cool guys at exe.dev — to give me a starting point when revamping my old website.
• I, Shelley, and Gemini 3 Flash cooperated on a custom theme using the colors of Tomorrow Night Blue by Chris Kempson.
• AI also helps me debug my site build and deploy process.
