The Self-Managing Website |
|
|
The average business website requires a developer, a designer, a copywriter, a SEO expert, and a separate tool for security. That’s up to five relationships. Five invoices. Five different systems to coordinate… |
In 2023, Gartner predicted that by 2026, 80% of content creation will involve AI assistance in some form. The CMS is the natural place that assistance gets embedded. For us here at KIJO AI, by 2027, the most capable websites will handle routine updates, performance optimisation, security monitoring, and content improvements continuously themselves. |
The technology exists. Most websites just weren’t built to use it. And the agencies building those websites aren’t telling their clients that the model is changing… |

“The best thing AI has done for website maintenance is make the routine invisible, so the humans can focus on the interesting problems.” |

The next generation of content management platforms aren’t just ‘containers’ for content. They’re active participants in managing it. |
An AI-augmented CMS identifies pages that haven’t been updated recently and surfaces them for review. It spots when a page’s bounce rate increases and connects that signal to a content or UX issue. It notices when a competitor’s page starts outranking a client’s and flags the structural difference. |
The question is no longer ‘which CMS is easiest to use?’ It’s ‘which CMS can support an AI management layer?’ WordPress, built correctly with an API-first architecture, remains a strong answer to this question… |

Someone just spent $236,000,000 on a painting. Here’s why it matters for your wallet. |
|
Late last year, a Klimt sold for the highest price ever paid for modern art at auction. |
An outlier sure, but it wasn't a fluke. U.S. auction sales grew 23.1% in 2025. The $1-5mm segment even grew 40.8% YoY. |
Meanwhile, Apollo’s chief economist Torsten Slok said to expect ‘zero in return in the S&P 500 over the coming decade.’ |
So, that's where it gets interesting. |
Each environment is unique, but after dot-com, post war and contemporary art grew about 24% annually for a decade. After 2008, about 11% for 12 years. |
It’s also had near-zero correlation with the S&P 500 since ‘95.* |
Now, Masterworks lets you invest in shares of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso. |
$1.3 billion invested across over 500 artworks. 28 sales to date. Net annualized returns on sold works held 12 months+ like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%. |
Shares can sell quickly, but my subscribers can skip the waitlist: |
