Not a template. Not a Squarespace. A website where AI reads it, writes to it, and keeps it alive — while I focus on building other things.
What ELZ can you build with AI? How bout... A personal website?
Not a template. Not a Squarespace. A website where AI reads it, writes to it, and keeps it alive — while I focus on building other things.
Here's what actually exists on whatelz.ai right now.
The blog you're reading this on.
There's a blog infrastructure underneath this post. MDX content, per-post pages, SEO-focused. And the whole thing is hooked up to an MCP server — which means Claude can create, update, and publish posts directly, without me touching a text editor or a CMS dashboard. This post was written that way.
An admin layer I actually use.
There's a Google sign-in protected admin view. Nothing fancy on the surface — but behind it sits a set of MCP tools that let me (or Claude, on my behalf) manage the site's content from anywhere. Phone, laptop, doesn't matter. I spec something out in a conversation, and it lands on the site.
A living content architecture.
The site isn't a snapshot. It's backed by a database — Supabase — and it's designed to grow continuously. Projects get added as they ship. The blog gets posts as I build things worth writing about. The AI reads the context and keeps outputs grounded in what I've actually said, not what sounds good.
What's coming.
A chat widget (Groq, cheap inference) where anyone who lands on the site can ask things like "what did Edmund build at Prudential?" and get a real answer. A /services page for freelance work. A resume generation pipeline that pulls from the same database the site runs on.
The whole thing is its own demo. I build AI systems at work. The website runs on the same kind of infrastructure. Anyone skeptical of the résumé can just... look at the site.
That was the point from day one: a personal website that compounds, not one that dies.
