Statement of AI Usage

This work was primarily human-created. AI was used to make stylistic edits, such as changes to structure, wording, and clarity. AI was used to make content edits, such as changes to scope, information, and ideas. AI was prompted for its contributions, or AI assistance was enabled. AI-generated content was reviewed and approved. The following model(s) or application(s) were used: Claude 4 Opus & Sonnet, Gemini 2.5 Pro, ChatGPT 4o-mini-high.

AI Fluency Foundation

This project was developed following Anthropic's AI Fluency Foundation Rules, particularly the 4D Framework:

  • 🎯 Define: Clearly articulated project goals and AI's role in achieving them
  • 🛠️ Develop: Iterative collaboration between human creativity and AI capabilities
  • 🔍 Diagnose: Continuous evaluation and refinement of AI-generated content
  • 📈 Deploy: Strategic implementation with human oversight and quality assurance

This structured approach ensured responsible AI usage while maintaining creative control and strategic direction throughout the development process.

Behind the Scenes: Good Vibe Coding

This website exemplifies what I like to call "Good Vibe Coding" - a collaborative approach where human creativity meets AI capability to create something meaningful and authentic.

The Foundation

The project started with the open-source template Andromeda Light Next.js, which provided a solid foundation for our vision. From there, we embarked on a comprehensive transformation journey.

The Creative Process

The content development was entirely human-initiated. All texts began as my original drafts, concepts, and strategic directions. I crafted the initial messaging, brand voice, and content structure that would become the backbone of AC Agency's digital presence.

The Development Partnership

The coding was primarily executed by Claude 4 Opus through both the Desktop App and Claude Code CLI interface. This AI partnership proved incredibly effective for:

  • Implementing complex accessibility features (WCAG 2.2 AAA compliance)
  • Building responsive design systems
  • Creating multilingual functionality
  • Developing GSAP animations with reduced motion support

Gemini 2.5 Pro and ChatGPT 4o-mini-high provided valuable support for:

  • Research and fact-checking
  • Content proofreading and refinement
  • Technical documentation review
  • Reference verification

The Human Touch

My direct interventions as Alan Curtis focused on:

  • Strategic oversight: Ensuring every feature aligned with business objectives
  • Quality assurance: Comprehensive testing across devices and browsers
  • Code review: Debugging and optimizing when AI development reached limitations
  • Content validation: Verifying all links, sources, and claims for accuracy and reliability

The Iterative Journey

This wasn't a linear process. Multiple revision cycles ensured:

  • Content accuracy through authoritative source verification
  • Technical excellence through rigorous testing
  • Accessibility compliance through real-world usage scenarios
  • Performance optimization for both local and Vercel deployments

Transparency & Trust

Every piece of information was cross-referenced with authoritative sources. Links were verified for reliability, and all claims were fact-checked to maintain the highest standards of transparency that AC Agency represents.
