🚀🤖 #61 AI Sidekick: Supercharge Your Project Planning
AI can supercharge your project planning. Let's turn AI into a personal planning assistant! We’re building a new project with AI and it already feels different.
Who: AI, Your New Planning Assistant
We're exploring how AI can streamline workflows, organize tasks, and boost productivity. Whether you're a seasoned planner or just starting, AI may have something to offer.
What: Creating a Project Board with AI
We're using AI to draft project information and create a detailed project board. Here's a sneak peek of what we'll cover:
Drafting project overviews
Breaking down tasks
Setting up a project board
Assigning priorities and deadlines
Why: Streamline Your Workflow
AI-assisted project planning can help you:
Save time on initial project setup
Ensure comprehensive task coverage
Maintain organized and efficient workflows
Step-by-Step Guide
Open your preferred AI assistant (we used Claude here, our favorite 💜)
Prompt the AI: "Act as a project planner. I need help setting up a Trello board for [Your Project Name]. Provide a project overview and break down the main tasks into a format suitable for a digital board; identify the priorities of the task; suggest color coding for each task."
Refine the output: Ask the AI to add more details, adjust priorities, or focus on specific areas of your project.
Create your Trello board: Use the AI-generated information to set up your actual project board.
Fine-tune with AI: Ask the AI for suggestions on task dependencies, time estimates, or potential roadblocks.

Thank you!
Remember, AI is a powerful tool, but your insight and expertise are irreplaceable.
Use AI to enhance your skills, not replace them!
