@heymartineellis Thanks. It was not a bad day but I was a bit too focused one thing that did not go well rather than celebrating all the things that did. Will start a note and migrate it to a journal somewhere; (probably Notion).

[Des Gorman @desgorman]

@heymartineellis Thank you. That has helped me to stop focusing on something that did not go great yesterday.

@heymartineellis @GuernseyLitFest @GuernseyLitFest tonight seeing Sarah Beeny. 10k at some point, Grand Prix and relaxing.

Day 25 of #100daysofai 🧪

After a few days diving into marketing using AI: content creation, SEO strategy, and more using tools like @chippdotai I'm thinking about how to integrate these new tools into my work.

Day 24 of #100DaysOfAI

I built a custom branded GPT with @chippdotai - unlocks a whole new dimension to GPT's 🤯

Fun little app creator

Day 23 of #100daysofai🧪

I have used firefly but the prompt framework really helps to narrow the focus to get the picture you want.

I wrote the prompt using @LinusEkenstam's framework and the image made with #adobefirefly

[Des Gorman @desgorman]

@adamboxer1 Glad I engaged more with this post. Just read MCA 1. I am currently experimenting with Ratio (re TLAC). Love the idea, identify with the issue, and will be using it in the future. Subscribed.

Day 22 of #100daysofai

Today I learned how to repurpose any video content into a snappy video short using @trymomento_ai, perfect for posting on tiktok or reels.

Good tool. I do not regularly post on socials but I can see how this makes them more engaging

Day 21 of #100daysofai
Ok, I am back on this now after a short break. I am actually stuck on this one so am moving on. I think I need some credit or an account or both but I am going to experiment with this another time. This is holding me up so I am moving on! (But coming back!)

January lasted eight years but now it’s March in a fortnight even though February started yesterday.

@NickyAACampbell @BBCSounds Really enjoy the pod. Should win most appropriate name!

@heymartineellis @JamesClear Yes! Now working through Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits.

[Des Gorman @desgorman]

@heymartineellis Habit!

Day 20 of #100DaysOfAI

I learnt how to create an SEO-optimized article with AI!

See the results 👇 Well that was quite interesting. I don't (yet) blog but I could see how easy AI could make it

Day 19 of #100daysofai🧪

Today I made my own marketing strategy assistant. So helpful for bouncing ideas and getting immediate feedback.

A version of the mega prompt. Useful starting point. I framed it around attracting students on to a course. The output was good!

[Des Gorman @desgorman]

@heymartineellis Yes. I would need to work on the prompts because the videos had issues as does a poorly prompted LLM prompt.

Day 18 of #100daysofai🧪

After 3 days of AI art adventures: generating images, composing music, and crafting videos, I'm thinking about how to integrate these new tools into my work.

My thinking : A cool set of tools that I could use in presentations?
