How I migrated our entire CMS while in meetings

Siddhant Khare describes the rapid migration of ona.com from Sanity CMS to local MDX files, completed in just six hours thanks to the use of an AI agent named Ona, which handled tasks typically requiring weeks of manual effort. Initially, the CMS seemed like a safe choice but soon became a bottleneck as content updates necessitated API interactions, prompting the decision to migrate everything to code. Khare initiated the migration with a simple directive, allowing Ona to automate the process of exporting content, converting documents, and downloading images. Although issues arose, such as incorrect frontmatter formats and type errors, these were resolved through brief instructions communicated to Ona. The migration involved creating over 100 MDX content files, multiple TypeScript configurations, and rewriting numerous page files, all while avoiding the need for extensive human intervention. Khare emphasizes the simplicity and efficiency of letting AI manage the technical execution, highlighting the creative control retained during the process. The end result is a streamlined website entirely in code, with the flexibility for future updates to be handled seamlessly through direct code modifications.
