Is it possible to use WiFi upload directly with AI?

I'm using the Parallax ESP8266 WX WiFi SIP module to program the Propeller 2 using Codex. I got Codex to create the file and convert it to binary using flexprop. Is it possible to use proploader or some other tool to directly upload the binary using the module so I can automate the entire process?

AI knows the answer to that one. if you can type it. AI agents can drive it. I'm not using the wifi uploader from commandline. but Google's Antigravity, from a cold start, didn't hesitate to download and install and setup the toolchains and start building code and iterating directly on my P2, inserting its own debug output to work to completion and clean up the functional code. Almost from a one-(big)shot.
Stunning demonstration... but, the simplest strategy that the agents used created fragile code. I started clean slate and built it back up manually, step by step with test-first process. Learned a lot of Spin2/PASM2 and P2 complexities myself in the process. It has taken me a week to rebuild half of what it built (fragile) automatically in a couple hours on its own.
refaQtor, thank you for that response. I have been a professional programmer for 42 years. I view AI as a tool not a replacement to coding. If I don't understand the code I won't use it. I do find it does shorten my development time by sometimes giving me information I did not know and the code I get is something I can use as an example to base my code from.
This is not about AI it is more about, as you said, if there is a tool chain. Is there already a toolchain that can automate taking the code compile it and then upload the to the Wifi possibly with a batch file. I do notice the proploader does indeed communicate with the wifi module but I thought there may be certain protocols the firmware requires that the proploader does not provide.
My next step is to look at the proploader source in github and look at the source for the wifi firmware to understand the interface better. Is the Parallax-ESP in github the source code for the firmware?
oh yes. "toddler savant" is how I think of them.
