B*tchwork My AI Did For Me, Part 5: Bought a Domain and Deployed an Entire App From a Bike Ride

An AI assistant orchestrated the end‑to‑end creation of a web app while the author rode a bike, handling domain registration, backend setup, front‑end deployment, and payment integration without manual clicks. Using GoDaddy, Vercel, Supabase, and Stripe APIs, the AI generated a domain, provisioned a database, deployed code, and configured Stripe checkout entirely from conversational prompts. The resulting product, gridshot.app, demonstrates that AI can replace many traditionally tedious development steps. This experiment showcases a new workflow where developers act as prompt engineers rather than hand‑coding infrastructure.
