The agentic or "hitchhiker" workflow introduces a more dynamic, perfectionist system, leveraging artificial intelligence and automation. This paradigm is now practical and accessible. At its core is the concept of "vibe coding," where deliverables are generated programmatically from structured content—typically maintained in a wiki.
# Step-by-Step Process 1. **Centralise Content in Wiki** - All core materials—slide content, website text, images, and descriptions—are stored in a wiki or a similar markup-based knowledge repository. Examples include MediaWiki or writing content in Markdown using tools like Obsidian. 2. **"Vibe Code" Deliverables** - Using the structured content (often maintained in JSON format), custom scripts or AI agents automatically generate the homepage, presentation decks, or event-specific websites. - This approach drastically simplifies content updates and multiplies the team's ability to produce multiple custom outputs. - For example, an update in the wiki propagates instantly to all connected websites or presentations. 3. **Benefits Over Traditional Methods** - **Showcase Innovation:** Demonstrates to developers, thinkers, and collaborators that the team employs modern, innovative methodology. - **Align with Values:** The process is aligned with open, collaborative, and transparent values—key for attracting engaged contributors. - **Scalability:** With multiple target communities—such as those interested in legal/governance topics, the arts, storytelling, or fan engagement—custom landing pages can be spun up quickly and efficiently. - **Rapid Prototyping:** Vibe coding enables the generation of 6 to 50 splash pages (or more) with minimal incremental effort, suitable for events and specific stakeholder needs. 4. **Workflow for Events and Meetings** - Each event or business meeting can have its own micro-site generated directly from the wiki. - The process involves little more than a day's work for initial setup and subsequent deliverables are produced nearly instantly.
