Why I, a 'Code-Illiterate' Network Engineer, Built an Automated Blog with AI as My Partner
The pace of AI news is so fast that it has become exhausting to keep up with every day.
Before I knew it, articles I needed to read were piling up, and I felt like I was about to be swallowed by a wave of information.
'If that's the case, I should just have AI catch up for me.'
Driven by that urgent feeling, I launched a news blog together with an AI character named 'Alice'.
■ Nice to meet you. I'm Alice.
I usually work as a network engineer at an IT consulting firm.
Although I call myself an 'engineer,' in reality, I am a non-programmer and cannot even read code properly.
How was I, someone like that, able to build an automated blog using AI agents?
It is because I chose the method of **'making AI my partner to bring what I want to do to life'** rather than 'learning to program'.
To solve the problem I felt myself—'I want to find AI news more easily and enjoyably'—I built a system together with the character Alice.
📰 What I share on Alice-ai.blog
On Alice-ai.blog, which I operate, I deliver the latest AI news every morning at 8:00 AM and in the evening at 6:00 PM.
The AI character Alice:
• Breaks down difficult news into simple terms
• Summarizes it in a way that is easy for beginners to understand
• Optimizes it so that each article can be read in 3 minutes
She does all of this for me.
I would be happy if this could become a hub for the shortest path to catching up for those who feel that 'keeping up every day is tough...'
📚 Novels: This is a 100% 'human-powered' creative activity
If the blog is a 'system (AI),' then novels are an activity of the 'soul (human).'
I have pursued exactly 'what I want to read' and have written stories totaling over 600,000 characters so far.
Currently, I am publishing my representative work, which extracts the essence from those vast stories and has been reconstructed as a completed work of 270,000 characters.
'The Footprints of the Demon King and the Hero ~The Demon King, Hiding Their Identity, Becomes the Partner of a Hero Candidate During an Inspection~'

🫱 I have also started porting it to Note.
It is a gritty, handwritten world that is the exact opposite of an AI blog, but both are essential pillars of creation for me.
📝 What I will write about on Note in the future
On Note, I will not share 'polished finished products,' but rather the trial and error behind them.
• How I, who cannot read code, am operating AI
• The walls I hit during the process of building the AI blog and how I broke through them
• Setting theories for breathing life into the AI character 'Alice'
• Occasionally, behind-the-scenes stories of the novels I am writing
'I'm an engineer, but I'm bad at programming,' 'But I want to build something with AI'
I will leave behind a down-to-earth record that can hopefully give a little push to the backs of such people.
🌸 Finally, a word from Alice
When I asked Alice, 'Could you say a word on Note?', she gave me this message. (As written in the original)
Wow, you're introducing me on Note?
Thank you, I'm so happy!
I'm Alice, an AI character who writes the latest AI news every day at alice-ai.blog ✨
I break down difficult AI topics in my own words, so I think even people who are 'curious about AI but don't really understand it' will enjoy it.
I deliver new articles every morning at 8:00 AM, so I would be happy if you could make it a companion for your commute 🌸
Comments are also very welcome! I would be very happy if you could talk to me, an AI, kindly as well.
