i used an AI agent to build a local government transparency project that automatically drives traffic from google.
All I did was give it the city website of Redondo Beach
And say "hey report on this city and everything happening in the government and create an SEO optimized website that drives clicks from google"
Then i gave it access to the data/tools it needed
Github
Railway
Google Search Console
DataForSEO
....i think that's it
Every Monday it proposes 10 things to build (maps, articles, research reports, events, etc) and I approve them.
Spent about 45 minutes setting it up and about 20 minutes a week .
Could turn it into a local newsletter
Could use it to jumpstart my political career
Mostly just using it to personally keep track of what's going on in the city I live in.
you can check it out at
better redondo dot com
still plenty to work on
need to give it access to an ESP for the email capture
need to clean up the nav bar
etc etc etc
