AI Assist
Claude Code by Anthropic
Parts of this site and product were built with AI assistance via Claude Code. The marketing pages, i18n translations, and content generation were accelerated by AI agents working under human direction and review. Every line ships through the same git workflow and code review process regardless of who (or what) wrote it.
Source
The source code for maniai.com is currently in a private repository. When we open-source the marketing site (planned), it will be available at github.com/Downshift/ManiAI.
