Background, process and license
It all started with a Facebook post by Troed Troedson. He challenged: "Parliamentary parties! Hold a press conference each with 15 points that ease people's journey instead of the opposite. But hold a workshop first so it doesn't turn out as clumsy as it usually does."
Said and done. I workshopped with my team and came up with 15 points that are, of course, very much my own. Leaning heavily on the internet, digitalisation in general and AI in particular. And which are, equally obviously, a work in progress. Better together, as always.
From walk-and-talk to finished site — this project is a collaboration between human and AI.
It started with a voice recording. I went for a walk and talked through my thoughts about Troed's post, about integration, about AI and friction. Manus — my AI agent — transcribed the recording, extracted the 15 points and structured them into a manifesto with headings, key figures, quotes and body text.
We worked iteratively. I gave direction and feedback, Manus built and suggested. First came the content — the 15 points with their investment figures and arguments. Then the design: we landed on "Nordic Monumentalism" with a warm cream background, ochre accents, Playfair Display typography and a sense of gravity without being heavy.
Manus did its own research to give the points credibility — figures from the OECD on AI and language training, data on validation times for foreign qualifications, Global Innovation Index rankings, and statistics on shortage occupations in Sweden.
The 15 illustrations were created with Nano Banana — an AI image generation tool — in a warm 1950s editorial style. I uploaded reference images with a vibe I liked, and Manus generated 15 unique images matching each point's theme.
Along the way, we created skills — reusable knowledge packages — that document how we did things. This means that next time I or anyone else wants to build something similar, it will be faster and better.
On the technical side, Manus built the site with React, Tailwind, tRPC and Express — with server-side rendering of OG tags so the right image and title appear when someone shares a point on social media. Comments and voting with a database behind it. Hosting via Manus with a CNAME pointer to my own domain.
The full manifesto is available for download — in Swedish and English.
