Building a serious web platform used to require a technical team, years of coding experience, or a large budget.

That’s no longer true.

In this 40-minute deep dive, we break down how to build real web platforms using Codex and AI, from mindset and planning to installation, prompting, editing, iteration, and understanding what actually matters.

This episode covers:

• Why platforms matter more than websites

• How to plan properly before touching AI

• Removing fear around setup and technical environments

• How to talk to Codex like a builder, not a beginner

• The real capabilities and limits of AI-assisted development

• How to bring almost any web idea to life without overengineering

This isn’t hype. It’s a practical, grounded walkthrough of how modern builders can move from idea to working system without waiting for permission.

If you’ve ever had an idea for a web product but felt blocked by the technical barrier, this episode will change how you see what’s possible.

Most people approach AI by starting with tools. That’s usually why they end up overwhelmed, over-automated, or disappointed.

In this episode of The Kieren Day Show, we slow everything down and take one real-world workflow, handling incoming enquiries, and break it down step by step. Instead of focusing on features or platforms, the episode explores how work actually flows, where decisions are really made, and how AI agents fit in as a thinking layer inside a larger system.

You’ll learn how to identify existing workflows in your own work, how to separate interpretation from action, and how to design AI-assisted systems that reduce interruptions, decision fatigue, and cognitive load. This episode focuses on clarity, sustainability, and control, showing how automation can support your work without overengineering or losing human judgment.

This is a practical, long-form exploration of how to build systems that make work lighter, calmer, and more intentional.

Artificial intelligence has moved past the stage of being experimental or futuristic. It’s now a practical tool that anyone can use to reduce friction in their work and reclaim time for more meaningful thinking.

In this first episode of The Kieren Day Show, we explore the rise of AI agents and why they represent a shift from simple automation to intelligent systems that can interpret information, make decisions, and take action. We look at how much of modern work is repetitive, why that repetition quietly drains focus and creativity, and how AI agents can take on these tasks without replacing human judgment.

This episode lays the foundation for the rest of the show by reframing automation as a way to redesign workflows, not just speed them up. It’s an introduction to a new way of working, one that prioritises clarity, leverage, and long-term sustainability over noise and shortcuts.
