Session Overview
A huge thanks to @Hannah for suggesting we catch up and for the brilliant idea to open this up as a wider kōrero! I suspect many of us are quietly experimenting with AI tools and wondering what’s working for others. This felt like the perfect chance to share, reflect, and invite others to do the same.
I thought the best way to facilitate this type of info exchange would be to run through a project where I have used AI tools quite extensively.
This project began when I noticed a recurring pain point in the AGM notes of the Ford Capri Car Club of New Zealand a volunteer-run incorporated society with deep roots in my whānau. My dad and step-mum are passionate members, so this rebuild quickly became a personal project with professional purpose.
The existing website was costing too much for the value it delivered. It was difficult to maintain, hard to update, and barely usable on mobile. It had one static page of text, some links to PDF downloads (including the membership form), and a basic photo gallery.
I used AI to help develop a business case, pitched it to the committee, and they agreed to the update in exchange for me being able to use the project as a consulting case study.
The new site is being built using lovable.dev (an AI driven full stack development tool) and will:
- Cost less to host
- Be mobile-responsive and accessible
- Be easy for volunteers to update
- Support online membership sign-ups
- Better reflect the community
It’s a genuine win–win: they get a more sustainable and dynamic website, and I get to test and grow my consulting skillset in a meaningful, real-world way.
What I’ll Cover
Spotting the opportunity:
From AGM minutes to AI-assisted business case
Project framing:
Why I’m treating this as a transformation case study, not “just a website”
AI in action:
How I’ve used ChatGPT to:
- Write and scope a compelling business case
- Rewrite and reorganise outdated content
- Draft project comms and documentation
- Generate and tweak prompts for the React build
- Reflect and iterate on design decisions
No-code development with lovable.dev:
How I’m using lovable.dev to build the site
- Why I chose it
- How I’m integrating AI outputs
- Lessons learned along the way
Using Notion to hold it all together:
- Project hub, comms log, and content archive
- Feedback tracking and decision history
- A living case study & documentation supported by AI.
Who It’s For
- Analysts, advisors, strategists, and side project lovers
- People exploring AI tools and wondering how others use them
- Anyone interested in using tech to support real mahi and scale their thinking
BYO kai and curiosity
Thanks Rhi!
