AI agents in web development: what they do well
AI agents are now part of every project we run. They are very good at some jobs and still weak at others.
What agents do well
- First drafts of layouts and components
- Repetitive edits across many pages
- Writing tests and running checks
- Turning long content into short summaries
Where humans still decide
- What the product should be
- Architecture and data design
- Security and privacy trade-offs
- Taste: what to cut
Our rule
Agents can write any line of code. A person must review every change before it ships. That rule keeps the speed and removes the risk.
