Replacing WordPress with Agentic AI (Vibe Coding) - WordPress to Replit Migration

Описание: I used to think AI would just help me within WordPress. I ran a real-world test by rebuilding multiple WordPress sites using Agentic AI via Replit. It felt like having a full dev team: designer, developer, project manager, all responding to clear prompts. Results were fast, accurate (with some learning curve), and removed the chaos of plugins, themes, licenses, hosting and security holes. This workflow now replaces WordPress entirely for me on small business and content-driven websites. What used to take 20 to 30 hours now takes a few, and the experience is enjoyable. The future is Agentic AI, not WordPress. ‪@replit‬

I want it to be clear that I have been working with WordPress since v1 and have built 100+ sites and currently manage 25 sites on WP Engine.

The AI did the work of a freelancer in real time via a chat window similar to ChatGPT.
‍
Not sharing files and folders via email.
Not waiting a day or two for turnaround.
Any miscommunication was resolved instantly.
No scheduled calls. No Zooms.

This is a defining moment.
