I gave an AI agent edit access to my website
https://dri.es/i-gave-an-ai-agent-edit-access-to-my-website
I'm often asked, "Will AI agents replace digital marketers and site builders?". The answer is yes, at least for certain kinds of tasks.
To explore this idea, I prototyped two AI agents to automate marketing tasks on my personal website. They update meta descriptions to improve SEO and optimize tags to improve content discovery.
Watching the AI agents in action is incredible. In the video below, you'll see them effortlessly navigate my Drupal site — logging in, finding posts, and editing content. It's a glimpse into how AI could transform the role of digital marketers.
![](https://m.stacker.news/74136)
**The experiment**
I built two AI agents to help optimize my blog posts. Here is how they work together:
- Agent 1: Content analysis: This agent finds a blog post, reviews its content, and suggests improved summaries and tags to enhance SEO and increase discoverability.
- Agent 2: Applying updates: After manual approval, this agent logs into the site and updates the summary and tags suggested by the first agent.
- All of this could be done in one step, or with a single agent, but keeping a 'human-in-the-loop' is good for quality assurance.
This was achieved with just 120 lines of Python code and a few hours of trial and error. As the video demonstrates, the code is approachable for developers with basic programming skills.
The secret ingredient is the browser_use framework, which acts as a bridge between various LLMs and Playwright, a framework for browser automation and testing.
**The magic and the reality check**
What makes this exciting is the agent's ability to problem-solve. It's almost human-like.
Watching the AI agents operate my site, I noticed they often face the same UX challenges as humans. It likely means that the more we simplify a CMS like Drupal for human users, the more accessible it becomes for AI agents. I find this link between human and AI usability both striking and thought-provoking.
In the first part of the video, the agent was tasked with finding my DrupalCon Lille 2023 keynote. When scrolling through the blog section failed, it adapted by using Google search instead.
In the second part of the video, it navigated Drupal's more complex UI elements, like auto-complete taxonomy fields, though it required one trial-and-error attempt.
The results are incredible, but not flawless. I ran the agents multiple times, and while they performed well most of the time, they aren't reliable enough for production use. However, this field is evolving quickly, and agents like this could become highly reliable within a year or two.
**Native agents versus explorer agents**
In my mind, agents can be categorized as "explorer agents" or "native agents". I haven't seen these terms used before, so here is how I define them:
Explorer agents: These agents operate across multiple websites. For example, an agent might use Google to search for a product, compare prices on different sites, and order the cheapest option.
Native agents: These agents work within a specific site, directly integrating with the CMS to leverage its APIs and built-in features.
The browser_use framework, in my view, is best suited for explorer agents. While it can be applied to a single website, as shown in my demo, it's not the most efficient approach.
Native agents that directly interact with the CMS's APIs should be more effective. Rather than imitating human behavior to "search" for content, the agent could retrieve it directly through a single API call. It could then programmatically propose changes within a CMS-supported content editing workflow, complete with role-based permissions and moderation states
I can also imagine a future where native agents and explorer agents work together (hybrid agents), combining the strengths of both approaches to unlock even greater opportunities.
**Next steps**
A next step for me is to build a similar solution using Drupal's AI agent capabilities. Drupal's native AI agents should make finding and updating content more efficiently.
Of course, other digital marketing use cases might benefit from explorer agents. I'd be happy to explore these possibilities as well. Let me know if you have ideas.
**Conclusions**
Building an AI assistant to handle digital marketing tasks is no longer science fiction. It's clear that, soon, AI agents will be working alongside digital marketers and site builders.
These tools are advancing rapidly and are surprisingly easy to create, even though they're not yet perfect. Their potential disruption is both exciting and hard to fully understand.
As Drupal, we need to stay ahead by asking questions like: are we fully imagining the disruption AI could bring? The future is ours to shape, but we need to rise to the challenge.

Building a tiny Linux from scratch
https://blinry.org/tiny-linux/
Last week, I built a tiny Linux system from scratch, and booted it on my laptop!
Here’s what it looked like:
![](https://m.stacker.news/74052)
Let me tell you how I got there.
I wanted to learn more about how the Linux kernel works, and what’s involved in booting it. So I set myself the goal to cobble together the bare neccessities required to boot into a working shell.
In the end, I had a tiny Linux system with a size of 2.5 MB, which I could boot from a USB stick on my laptop!
What you’ll get out of this article:
- A better understanding of what happens when your computer boots Linux.
- What terms like bzImage, initrd and UEFI mean.
- Ideas for how to deal with the problems that I encountered.
- And if you haven’t used Nix, it might be interesting to see how I used it to manage the tools and libraries I needed.

I tried moving my Google calendar to Proton (and failed)
https://shilin.ca/i-tried-moving-my-google-calendar-to-proton-and-failed/
Basically, the title.
I've been building up the courage to transition since I started de-googling my digital life about three years ago. At first, there was the browser. It was the easiest — Firefox instead of Chrome, obviously. Then there was mail. I learned about SimpleLogin and started using them by routing all my aliases to a single Proton email address. This was long before their partnership with SimpleLogin. Next, I moved the drive and the documents stored in it. Lastly, there was the calendar.
**Why de-googling**
Everything about my life had been hosted within the Google's ecosystem. Personal documents, bank statements, you name it. But Google’s privacy practices have been increasingly concerning, if not alarming. I got tired of them using and selling my data for advertising — my browsing behavior, purchasing habits, and my email conversations. Google was, and unfortunately still is, everywhere. It is on my phone, in my bedroom, and in my friends' houses. The company's main business model is advertising, and so their revenue streams speak for themselves.

Tangem wallet collects and exposes users seed phrase via email glitch
https://cointelegraph.com/news/tangem-security-vulnerability-fixed-private-key-leak
Cryptocurrency wallet provider Tangem has fixed a critical security vulnerability on its mobile app that collected certain users’ private keys via emails.
The fix came after Redditors repeatedly called out Tangem for putting investors’ funds at risk by exposing their private keys on email accounts and to Tangem employees.
On Dec. 29, a Reddit discussion on Tangem’s operations gained traction, which accused the wallet provider of stealing private keys using emails. The Redditor, u/areklanga, further accused Tangem of not providing “any sensible reaction” when the issue was pointed out previously.
Tangem acknowledged the issue on Dec. 30 and stated the incident arose from a bug in the mobile app’s log processing, which had now been “fully resolved.” Tangem also provided a breakdown of the situation.
Tangem’s official website, which logs all version updates of its mobile application, did not mention the details about the Dec. 30 update.
Tangem also confirmed in its Reddit response that “all logs and attachments sent to its support team were permanently deleted, ensuring no residual data remains.”
While Tangem pushed out an update on Dec. 30 to prevent further leaks of seed phrases, the crypto community members called out the wallet provider’s muted response. Tangem did not respond to Cointelegraph’s request for comment.
Tangem has not made any official announcements on its official social media channels, Twitter, Discord, or Telegram, as of Dec. 31. However, all Tangem users are advised to immediately update their mobile applications to avoid seed phrase leaks.

What’s the Most Interesting Way You’ve Used #Bitcoin?
Please share the most interesting, unusual, or downright surprising way you've used Bitcoin.
A few years back, I was traveling through a remote area in Eastern Europe, where cash still ruled and card payments were pretty uncommon. One evening, I found myself in a small village, needing a place to stay, but I had completely run out of local currency, and the nearest ATM was a day’s walk away. I ended up chatting with the innkeeper, and to my surprise, he’d actually heard of Bitcoin! Since I’m a proud Bitcoiner, I offered to pay for the room with Bitcoin. He was curious but agreed—as long as I could show him how to set up a wallet. So that night, not only did I find a cozy place to stay, but I also helped introduce someone to Bitcoin for the very first time.
