Getting to the finals of the Elementor AI competition with one simple idea: Stop throwing AI at hard problems. Make the problem easier first. Our Editor's codebase is massive. So instead of burning tokens fighting it. I built a stripped-down replica, gave AI exactly what it needs, and nothing more. The result? Prototypes in hours. Token costs slashed. And non-devs can finally test ideas without begging engineering for help. Turns out the real AI skill isn't prompting. It's architecture. 🏗️
