The AI and the AI rebuilt my 20 year old teaching site

His free French teaching site Ralentir travaux, used by millions of visitors, had been more or less abandoned because its old code ran to thousands of pages. Over about six months the AI and the AI cleaned, fixed and modernised the code and added new tools, and the rebuilt site relaunched for its 20th anniversary.

How it works

  1. Old site code is cleaned, corrected, refactored and secured with AI and the AI
  2. The design is reworked and new search, exercises and tools are added
  3. The rebuilt site goes live for the site's 20th anniversary

Why it’s worth knowing

A site one teacher could no longer maintain alone got a full rebuild, with fixes landing across thousands of pages in minutes.
