Foster City councilwoman built a wildfire resources site with a single Replit prompt
amasad · x · 2026-09-04
During the 815 Sea Spray fire, Foster City councilwoman Phoebe Venkat was exhausted from copy-pasting resources across socials — so she typed one prompt into Replit to spin up a wildfire resources site, then had two developer friends build on it. The grassroots site (not an official city page) keeps getting updated between her council, full-time, and volunteer jobs. Replit's CEO amplified the example of an ordinary person shipping a useful public tool in hours with AI.
