269 Workers, run from a phone

A legal-marketing founder who says he could not code before AI describes running his companies' software through a chat window: he writes plain-English specs, an AI agent builds and deploys the tools to Cloudflare, and he tests and approves from his phone. A custom connector gives the agent scoped deployment access without the agent holding his credentials.

How it wentPer his article: 269 Workers, 98 databases and dozens of storage buckets run client sites, a newsletter, lead tools and an AI phone receptionist. No revenue figure is claimed; treat the scale numbers as the author's own report.
Try it · based on the source's workflow
Help me run one small business tool from a chat window. I will describe the tool in plain English: [what it should do, who uses it, what data it needs]. Break it into the smallest working version, list the hosting and storage it needs on [platform], and build and deploy only that version. Use the least access the job needs, never ask me to paste passwords, tokens, or keys into chat, and stop for my approval before anything goes live or touches customer data. After it is live, give me a one-page record: what was built, where it runs, and how I turn it off.
A starting template based on the workflow the source describes. Review it before you use it; you are responsible for what it does.
