How does an AI team build a website?
An AI team works like a well-run project team. Specialist agents for discovery, engineering, content and quality each take part of the work, hand it on and check each other’s output, following a written plan. People stay in charge of the decisions that matter, and every action is logged so the work can be reviewed.
The roles
- A solution architect who writes the plan.
- A content analyst who inventories and maps the content.
- Component engineers and migrators who build and move.
- A parity auditor and performance and accessibility QA who check the work.
- A deployment engineer who ships it.
- A lead that coordinates the team, so you deal with one voice.
How the work flows
- DiscoveryThe team verifies access, inventories the site and records the facts it will build on.
- A written planEvery component, template and page, and how. A person approves it.
- Build in orderWork is picked up in sequence and handed on with notes.
- Check before moving onValidators review each piece; no role marks its own work.
- Ask a personGenuine judgment calls go to a human, with a recommendation.
- Launch and hand overWith the evidence, an editor guide and a list of anything not done.
What keeps it safe
- A plan approved by a person before building starts.
- Roles that check each other’s work instead of their own.
- Access limited to what each job needs.
- An append-only log of every action, so any build can be replayed.
What people still do
People set the goals, approve the plan, answer the judgment calls, sign off the launch and own the result. The team does the building and the checking.
How Cypher handles this
Cypher is twenty-one specialists and the mind that runs them, working through ten phases with two gates that are yours. One build an agency quoted at $400,000+ cost $512 to run: the cost of the run, not the price of Cypher.
Questions people ask
Is the code any good?
It should meet the same standard as any team’s: reviewed, tested, readable and delivered to your repository.
Does an AI team replace the marketing team?
No. It takes on the building and checking; the marketing team decides and owns the brand.
What happens when something breaks?
The checks find it, it’s logged, fixed and checked again. Anything left over is reported in writing.
