New website · WordPress · AI-built experiment
What happens when a website about AI-built projects becomes one of the projects?
I launched AI Built Projects on 11 October 2026 as a brand-new website created with AI assistance and directed by me. I now use it to document my projects and let visitors explore the games, with this page following the site as it develops.
The site today
The site now includes a dedicated Games library and a direct browser player for Swarmloom Idle. I have also installed the Gem Forge Idle browser edition, where account saving and cross-device transfers are still being verified. Android buttons and QR codes help visitors move from the site to Google Play.
I have added account-based ratings, user-controlled sharing and a report-contact panel. I am also keeping the project records current on the first of each month, with a current summary and a dated history of the work.
The starting point
How it started
AI Built Projects begins with no long traffic history, no established audience and no promise that it will succeed. That is exactly why it belongs here.
I want to follow what happens when a complete website is conceived, structured, written and developed with AI assistance from its first day. The question is simple: can it become useful enough for people to find it, read it and return?
The launch was the starting point. I am now adding playable game pages, account features and practical articles, while continuing to measure what people actually use.
Why I built it
The projects needed one place where their whole story could live
I was already building games with AI, working on an established photography website and exploring what this way of creating could make possible. The finished results alone were not the most interesting part. The decisions, failed attempts, revisions and real-world outcomes mattered too.
I created AI Built Projects to bring those records together. Games sit beside websites, future applications and tools. Each project can explain where it began, what AI actually contributed, what I decided and what happened after the work reached real users.
The experiment
Can a website created from the beginning with AI earn real attention?
This is different from improving GottaPics, where AI entered an eight-year-old site with an existing archive and history. AI Built Projects began with a blank record. Its structure, project pages, images and game integrations are developing as part of the same experiment.
A polished first page proves only that a page can be built. It does not prove search visibility, reader trust, useful content, returning visitors or long-term value. Those outcomes must be observed.
How the work happens
Built with AI. Directed by a human.
My direction
I chose the purpose, domain, categories, projects and voice. I review the writing, judge the design, provide the source material and decide what is accepted, changed or removed.
AI assistance
ChatGPT Work helps investigate, structure, draft, prepare images, implement approved WordPress changes, test links and keep the developing record coherent.
AI makes the workflow faster and gives me access to technical work I would not approach in the same way alone. It does not choose the purpose of the site or take responsibility for what is published.
Building in the open
The site documents itself as it develops
This page is not meant to remain a frozen launch announcement. It is the first dated record. Future changes can document new sections, technical decisions, mistakes, redesigns, traffic and the response to individual projects.
If the site grows, the record will show how. If it remains small or fails to find an audience, that result belongs here too.

From a project archive to a place to play
- I have a dedicated Games page with browser, Android and QR links.
- Swarmloom Idle has public Google-account access, optional cloud saving, real ratings and a bug-report contact panel on this site.
- I have installed the Gem Forge Idle browser edition; its live account and cross-device checks are not yet complete.
- Gems of Luna, Chaos Booth, GottaPics and the website itself have their own project records.
- I have connected a dedicated Facebook Page and a Pinterest RSS workflow for article sharing.
- I review project records monthly, using confirmed developments rather than changing dates without new information.
I want the site to be useful both as a record of the work and as a route into the projects. I will keep following how visitors use these additions as the site develops.
