1It's been a while
It's been a while.
There haven't been any updates here for some time.
Honestly, sharing knowledge about AI development had stopped feeling as worthwhile as it used to.
Developing with AI is becoming ordinary. Ask a capable model about something you don't understand, and it will usually have an answer. Even a fairly vague instruction can produce something workable, including some attention to security.
You still need to check the result, of course. But there are far fewer moments when everything stops until a human spells out the details.
Watching that pace of progress, I started wondering: why write up instructions here when asking AI might be faster?
Still, that would be a rather abrupt place to end an article.
So let me introduce a useful tool for building websites with AI: ServBay.
2What is ServBay?
ServBay is an app that brings your web development environment together in one place.
The runtimes, servers, and databases needed to run AI-written code can all live on your own computer, managed from one interface. It supports Windows and macOS, and there's a free edition.
3Install what you need with one click
Choose a tool and install it with a button in the GUI.
PHP, Node.js, Python. Databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL. Web servers including Apache and Nginx.
All of these can be installed from the GUI with one click.
Pick what you need and click. That saves the rounds of finding download pages, reading installation instructions, and tracking down configuration files.
If AI says, “Install this first,” select it in ServBay and get back to building.
If even that feels like a chore, perhaps just say, “I have ServBay. Set up the environment for me.”
What can it do?
Install your tools
PHP, Node.js, Python, and more. Select the tools you want and install them with a click.
Run a website
Use Apache, Nginx, or Caddy. Specify a domain and folder, and let ServBay handle the virtual host configuration.
Add a database
Install MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, and more from the same interface. Get your site's data services ready alongside its runtime.
Switch versions
Keep an older PHP version for an existing site and a newer one for new work. Choose versions for each project.
Test with HTTPS
Manage local certificates through the GUI and use HTTPS in your development environment.
Show someone your work
Configure a tunnel to make your local site accessible from outside. Send a URL and say, “Take a look.”
Tunneling requires a paid plan.See the official feature comparison for plan details. Features and plans were checked against the official information on September 12, 2026.
4AI wrote almost this entire article
Back to the opening question. The research, the writing, and the HTML for this article were almost entirely delegated to AI. The human part was explaining what I wanted to say, reviewing the output, and asking for changes.
Research ServBay. Find screenshots and links, and summarize what it can do.
AI checked official sources, found images, and organized the features and links. If the explanation got too detailed, I said, “Keep it simpler.” Review it, talk through revisions, and turn it into an article page.
Readers can ask their own AI the same questions. They can also tailor them: “I'm on Windows,” or “Tell me only what this project needs.”
So what is the point of going out of our way to publish general instructions?
The ease of making this article is itself a good illustration of why I stopped updating the site. If the task is simply researching and organizing information, AI can already do it.
5What is still worth sharing?
I'm not saying that sharing knowledge has become pointless. I just don't feel the same value in continuing to write the way I used to. That's the honest answer.
More and more often, people can ask AI for tool instructions and setup steps when they need them. Things also move so quickly that a carefully written guide can soon become outdated.
But what did we actually try? Where did we get stuck? Why did we choose that approach? What changed as a result? I still think those experiences are worth recording.
In this case, the fact that AI could handle so much of the research and article production is closer to what I wanted to share here than a list of ServBay features.
I don't yet have an answer for what this site should become. As AI takes on more of the work, what I write here will probably change too.
When you can just ask AI, what is worth writing down? After finally posting again, that's the question I'm back to thinking about. 🥴
6An aside: exploring AI video generation
On a side note, I've recently been researching AI video generation. Have a look if you're interested.
I've been experimenting with motion graphics for brand logos. Click any of these to play it.
We also make animations and music videos. Take a look if you'd like.
Yes, this is a shameless plug. 🥴
