When Dogs, Coffee, and AI Meet  

Who knew that an AI virtual event would spark a heartwarming conversation about our treasured furry four-legged friends and reveal the shared rituals that make our Saturday morning special?  

This delightful discovery happened during our AI Social Saturday event hosted in partnership with Women And AI on October 5, 2024. As the host, I posed three simple questions that sparked a flurry of insights: 

1. What's your non-negotiable Saturday morning routine? 

2. Which resources enhance your prompts? and 

3. What is your go-to AI model or tool for creating images and videos? 

The response was overwhelming – our vibrant conversation generated over 300 comments, revealing a beautiful tapestry of shared experiences. Many of us, it turns out, start our Saturday mornings with our tail-wagging companions, steaming cups of coffee, and wellness rituals that nurture our souls—from meditation to yoga, swimming to pilates; we're a community that values both physical and mental well-being. Some of us cherish reading and catching up with family scattered across the world, while others revel in the luxury of sleeping in because—who doesn't love a lazy Saturday morning? And let's not forget our masala chai enthusiasts, who had us all craving a spicy, aromatic cup!

Beyond the Morning Rituals: Leveling Up Your Creativity

While the conversation about our morning routines was engaging, the real magic happened when we delved into AI tools and techniques. 

The community's approach to prompt engineering revealed sophisticated strategies. Many rely on AI-assisted prompt refinement, creating iterative feedback loops with their chosen models. This level of expertise and dedication is truly remarkable. Others have developed impressive systems for prompt management – from curated personal libraries in Notion to collaborative collections of proven prompts. The knowledge-sharing was terrific, with members actively learning from industry experts and staying current through specialized newsletters and online sources. Click here for more prompt resources.  

With AI image generation, clear favorites emerged: 

• DALL-E's versatility

• Midjourney's stunning quality

• Canva's practical AI features, and 

• Adobe Firefly's professional capabilities.

Interestingly, the most dynamic discussion centered around AI video tools. While the community mentioned ten different platforms, four stood out as clear leaders in their respective niches.
