Do I Use AI? And Striving to Expand Existing Workflows
My goals for joining the AI Dev Tools Zoomcamp
“Are you actually using AI in your everyday life?”
Short answer: yes. A lot.
I started using AI tools around the time ChatGPT first came out. Back then, I mainly used it as a marketer: small content edits, alternative headlines, structure suggestions. It was helpful, but also quite limited and prone to obvious errors.
Fast-forward to today: the tools are much more powerful, but one thing hasn’t changed — I still treat AI as a companion, not a full replacement. Even if you hire a human, you still review their work. Same with AI: it can speed you up, but you stay responsible for the final output.
Because I work in startup environments and often wear “technical” hats (think technical SEO, website updates, landing pages), I decided to lean into this and invest in my skills. I joined AI Dev Tools Zoomcamp, a course that teaches developers to work more productively with AI: coding assistants, agents, automation tools, all of that.
I already use AI to:
- Draft and iterate on landing pages
- Generate small scripts for technical SEO (for example, adding or updating structured data)
- Experiment with how websites are built and styled, using AI to suggest code changes and then reverse-engineering what happened
On AI Dev Tools Zoomcamp, the module that interests me the most is building an AI coding agent. I hope it will help me understand how agents are built and how I can use them in my work. Since I’ve already tried using LLMs with an API, I’m curious how agentic features can expand their capabilities and what I would be able to build with them.
