You need a website. A portfolio. A landing page. A "link-in-bio" for your new project. But you're not a developer, and you don't want to spend three days fighting with a clunky template or an expensive web builder. You just want your idea to be live.

Today, we're ditching the old way. We're going to show you how to go from a blank folder to a live, deployed website in under an hour, for free. This isn't a "no-code" workflow that locks you into a platform; it's the new "AI-code" stack, where your main skill is no longer writing code, but directing the AI that writes it for you.

The Hustle: The AI-Powered 1-Hour Website

The Goal: To build and deploy a live, custom website from scratch in under an hour, for free, using only AI-native tools.

The Tools:

  • AI Code Editor: Cursor (Free "Hobby" Plan). Think of this as a supercharged version of VS Code with a GPT-4-level engineer built directly into it.

  • Deployment Platform: Railway (Hobby Plan). This is the "easy button" for putting your code on the internet. It automatically detects what you're building and hosts it.

  • Code Hub: GitHub (Free Account). This is the necessary glue that connects your editor (Cursor) to your host (Railway).

Here’s the high-level workflow to go from zero to live:

Step 1: The 10-Minute Setup (Get Your Tools) First, get your stack ready. This is the only "manual" part.

  1. Download and install Cursor.

  2. Create a free GitHub account.

  3. Sign up for a free Railway Hobby Plan (it includes a starter credit, which is more than enough for a simple static site).

Step 2: The AI 'First Draft' (Prompting Your Site) Open Cursor. Instead of staring at a blank index.html file, you're going to open the AI Chat. You'll start by "prompting" your website's structure.

  • The Prompt: Open the chat (Cmd+K or Ctrl+K) and type: "Generate a single file 'index.html' for a personal portfolio website. It must include a profile picture, my name 'AI Hustle,' a short bio, and three styled buttons for 'Newsletter,' 'Projects,' and 'Contact.' Use modern, inline CSS for all styling. Make it clean, minimalist, and responsive."

Cursor will generate the entire file in seconds. You now have a complete, functional website on your local machine.

Step 3: The 'Human-in-the-Loop' (Refining with AI) The first draft will be good, but not perfect. This is where Cursor shines. You don't write the fixes; you prompt them.

  • Highlight the button section in your new file.

  • Prompt (in the chat): "These buttons are blue. Make them a dark grey (#333) with white text, add a hover effect that inverts the colors, and give them rounded corners."

  • The AI will edit only that section of the code, live.

  • Highlight your name.

  • Prompt: "Make the font for this H1 element larger and center-align it on the page."

Repeat this process for 5-10 minutes, acting as the "Art Director" while the AI acts as the "Developer."

Step 4: The Cloud Connector (Push to GitHub) Now that your site looks good locally, you need to put it on the internet.

  1. Inside Cursor, use the built-in Source Control tab to initialize a new Git repository.

  2. Commit your index.html file.

  3. Create a new, public repository on your GitHub account (e.g., "my-portfolio").

  4. Follow the instructions on GitHub to "push an existing repository," which is just two commands you'll paste into Cursor's built-in terminal.

Your code is now in the cloud.

Step 5: The 'Go Live' Button (Deploying with Railway) This is the final, magic step.

  1. Log in to your Railway dashboard.

  2. Click "New Project" and select "Deploy from GitHub Repo."

  3. Connect your GitHub account and choose the "my-portfolio" repository you just created.

  4. That's it. Railway automatically detects it's a simple HTML/static site, builds it, deploys it, and provides you with a live, public URL (e.g., my-portfolio-production.up.railway.app).

Your website is now live for the world to see.

Why This Hustle Works:

  • It's 100% Free: The free tiers for Cursor, GitHub, and Railway's Hobby plan are all you need for a simple static site.

  • Blistering Speed: This entire workflow, from idea to live URL, can genuinely be done in under an hour, with most of that time spent on creative refinement in Step 3.

  • The New "No-Code": This isn't "no-code," which locks you in. This is "AI-Code." You have full access to the HTML and CSS, but you never had to write it from scratch.

  • It Shifts the Skill: The new leverage point isn't knowing CSS syntax. It's the ability to clearly articulate your vision in a prompt. You're a director, not just a developer.

🚀 The AI Pulse: 3 Signals to Watch This Week

  1. Swarm Robotics Is Getting Cheap and Real. The "one big, smart robot" (like a humanoid) gets all the press, but a different revolution is brewing: swarm robotics. This approach uses many small, simple, and—most importantly—cheap robots that coordinate to show intelligent group behavior. Historically, this was just a high-cost research project. Now, thanks to affordable sensors and processors, it's becoming a practical reality, with AI-powered drone swarms already being deployed.

    • The Hustle Take: This signals a new paradigm for physical automation. Instead of buying one $250,000 sophisticated machine, you'll be able to deploy 100 cheap, "good enough" robots. For your hustle, this is a resilience and cost play. If you're in logistics, agriculture, or site inspection, this opens up new models. One robot failing won't stop the job. It's the "decentralized" version of automation, and it's on a path to be far more scalable and antifragile than its single-robot-overlord counterpart.

  2. White House AI Strategy: "Speed Over Safety." The White House's top tech advisor, Michael Kratsios, just laid out the US AI strategy: "win" by ensuring the American tech stack is adopted globally. The plan? 1) Go-fast innovation, 2) Build massive infrastructure (especially nuclear power), and 3) Use diplomacy to export US tech. The key takeaway: The US is explicitly rejecting a broad, EU-style "AI Act," opting for "use-case and sector-specific" rules (e.g., the FDA handles AI in medicine, the FAA handles AI in drones).

    • The Hustle Take: This is a massive green light from the US government to build, fast. Unlike in Europe, where regulation is the first step, the US is signaling that innovation, adoption, and speed are the priorities. For your hustle, this is a powerful tailwind. You don't have to fear a new, vague "AI police," but you must understand the existing rules of your specific industry. The US is placing its bet on American innovators to out-build and out-export the rest of the world.

  3. Tesla & xAI: The AI "Empire-Building" Problem. Tesla shareholders showed "mixed support" for a nonbinding (i.e., symbolic) proposal for the company to invest in Elon Musk's other AI company, xAI. The board didn't even take a position on the matter, which highlights the tangled web of corporate interests at play.

    • The Hustle Take: This isn't just about one vote. This is a case study in the new, messy reality of AI "empires." We're seeing tech moguls build interconnected stacks: one company for hardware and data (Tesla), another for AI models (xAI), and another for distribution (X). This creates a corporate governance nightmare. For your hustle, this is a high-profile lesson in focus and risk. The blurred lines between these companies create massive distractions and conflicts that can alienate investors and confuse the market.
