How I built this website with AI

A non-technical journalist, a blank page, and a set of AI tools. Follow the workflow that took Orosei.ai from a conversation to a live website — through three phases, with the decisions and missteps along the way.

A note on timing: I'm finishing this build right now — the deployment phase below is literally in progress. The full write-up, step by step, lands here shortly after launch.
