I did it! **dances around my room** It's alive!
It's named "TAG-EA" - after me. My name initials are "TAG." It's going to assist me in posting to my Instagram and Threads accounts for both my Tax Prep business and a motivational quote Threads account I wanted to develop. I'm looking forward to working with it/her!
This 7-Day (ish) challenge was a fun experience. By the time I reached the EA project, I felt more confident in my use of Claude and AI in general. I really feel like I can use the skills I've learned this past 7-10 days to help others, and I'm not as much of an "AI Hater" as I was before. I'm still at the "AI Skeptic" phase - it's still a computer at the end of the day. But I feel like my measured attitude about the technology will help convey to clients the true usefulness of AI for their businesses.
There were some challenges. Mostly about imagining how I could use this technology. The choices are seemingly endless! That's where I frequently got stuck - just deciding what to build, not the building itself. Other challenges were when I ran into slightly-outdated instructions in the challenges, but that's the danger of creating courses on fast-moving technology.
I did adapt, though, and I think that's an important skill as an AI Automation consultant as well. I really enjoyed this challenge, and I'm looking forward to more learning, testing, and growning in this space.
