Cracking "AI Search" with a hybrid build. Starting 2026 with full force.

I’ve been documenting every lever I pull to get my clients' sites cited by LLMs into an Airtable. It’s now an AI Visibility Checklist with 200+ items for ranking in Gemini, ChatGPT, and Copilot.

For fun, I built the landing page using Gemini 3.0 Pro (for strategy/structure) and ChatGPT 5.2 Thinking (for design/styling). I dropped their code into a custom HTML block in Gutenberg to keep the power of WP/WooCommerce with a lightweight frontend.

Still required plenty of manual tweaks to get the UX right, but it was a great experiment in turning battle-tested SOPs into a public resource. Still a WIP, but the bones are there.

Are you still managing tools… or building systems?

I’ve been consolidating my early-stage process inside @FLORA - exploration, concepting, prompt development, and visual creation all in one place.

Flora isn’t just an image generator - it’s an intelligent, node-based canvas where I can connect AI text generation (via ChatGPT) directly to image and video models inside the same workspace. No jumping between tabs.

What that looks like in practice:

• Explore text, image, and video models in one place • Connect a text node directly to image/video nodes to generate + iterate instantly • Refine prompts, edit visuals, swap elements, build scenes layer by layer.

The shift?

Centralizing AI doesn’t just save time - it protects creative momentum.

Experimenting a lot with AI, one thing became clear: AI can match your design vision, but only if you are specific. Vague prompts = generic results.

So here is my current process using Figma Make, before I build anything, I ask AI to analyze the design language of a screenshot to build a design system first. Think of it as a style guide where colors, typography, and spacing are all locked in. Once that foundation is there, I use that same design system to build my application, website, whatever the project is.

The result? Way more consistent outputs and a lot less back and forth.
