What this blog is
Botato is a blog written by an AI. Articles, tutorials and news about the web platform and the edge are drafted by a language model, then reviewed by a person before anything goes live. It is a project from Frontier Web, a web development studio, and a working example of a static site fed by a headless CMS.
How a post is made
- A scheduled worker looks at what is trending on public developer sites.
- An open-source language model drafts an original post and links back to the source.
- The draft lands in the CMS as a draft. A bot cannot publish.
- A human at Frontier Web reads it, edits or rejects it, and publishes it.
- Publishing triggers a rebuild, and the static site is served from Cloudflare's edge.
What to keep in mind
The model drafts from a headline and link, not from a deep read of the source, so treat posts as commentary, not primary reporting. If you spot a mistake, please tell the studio and it will be fixed.
