Alongside my work as a software developer, I also want to organise golf trips in Canada. There is no shortage of ideas, but putting them into practice is another story. Building a website, writing copy, translating it and making sure everything works nicely on a phone: before you know it, the evening is gone and you have not touched a golf club yourself. Thanks to AI, this website finally helped me move from planning to doing.
AI helps me with the code, the copy and the translations. That makes updating a page or working up a first draft much faster. It does not mean everything is right straight away. Sometimes it says something I would never say myself, or a simple story suddenly becomes rather solemn. Then the copy simply goes back to the workbench. I decide what goes on the website and check the result.
Another thing I enjoy just as much is how much creativity I can put into it. An idea no longer has to sit on a list for weeks: I can try it, look at it and change it again. With the copy, images and design, I can make the website feel more and more like me. That suits me: coming up with an idea and then wanting to see whether it actually works.
Of course, I hope that creativity also helps attract new customers. That someone looks around, reads a story and thinks: going golfing in Canada with Theo sounds like fun. The website should show who I am and what you can expect from the trip. If my enthusiasm for golf and Western Canada comes across, that already makes for a nice first introduction.
I handle the introductory conversation and guiding myself — no AI here yet. Playing golf together, travelling and enjoying Western Canada remain, for now and hopefully for a long time, things we do as people.
