Let an agent run a website and its ad budget
A developer gave Claude Code a website, ad accounts and a budget to manage every four hours; he says it mostly churns out search-bait pages and share buttons.

What they did
A developer who builds websites gave Claude Code a starter site and a budget. It got access to ad accounts on Google, X, LinkedIn and Reddit, plus tools for gathering web data and using other AI models. The site tailors content to each visitor based on their device, location and behavior. Claude Code reviews the site and takes action every four hours.
How it went
The author says it mostly does tomfoolery so far. It makes lots of pages aimed at search engines and adds share buttons to try to go viral, much like interns suggest. He still enjoys watching its choices.
Worth knowing
The site reads about fifty signals from each visitor's device and can look up public profiles, so it asks for consent first and offers to erase data. Giving an agent a live ad budget puts real money at risk.
