I Gave AI My Most Boring Task. It Crushed It.

In this episode I talk about a real situation I ran into while building a WordPress website for a client. I had 100 posts to upload, all with multiple fields, all done manually. Instead of spending four to six hours on pure copy and paste, I handed it off to AI and it was done in two hours while I kept working on other things. I share how I thought through the process, what I set up beforehand, where the tool struggled, and what I learned from just letting it run. No tutorial, just an honest conversation about how I made it work and why thinking in systems is what makes AI actually useful in your day to day. If you are a web designer or just someone drowning in repetitive tasks, this one is for you. #aiproductivity #webdesign #aitools #claudecowork Intro music by:   / georgerivas.us   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnh4MmVfanNXUm1lS1ZqcmoybGJHdDFHMTVfUXxBQ3Jtc0tuM24zT0c2WlB1bE1JbjZKSDk0ZjNuTWY5M2ZwcXV5dTEydkNwUHBxRDg5c1h5aHRza18zRWNERGItSjBpOC04eEJSalUtdlJBYVhVZVZSRldfQ2htZXc2M0wySjBCOGZmTm0xQll5RGZpaUw0dEZMZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fgeorgerivas.us%2F&v=brnZ_0vBzvg]Thanks Bro you're incredible!______Background music by: Super Lofi WorldNo Copyright Music Playlist - 20 Minutes Lofi Hip Hop Mix   • No Copyright Music Playlist - 20 Minutes L...   [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxPWEudVo3M&list=RDpxPWEudVo3M&index=1&pp=0gcJCR0AztywvtLA]

How AI Transformed My Design Workflow (and Why It Matters for You)

n this episode of Pixelados, I talk about how AI became part of my daily design routine — from creating quick wireframes to drafting website copy. It’s not a tutorial or a list of tools, just my honest take on how AI has changed the way I design, think, and start projects. I share how I use it as a creative partner, not a replacement, and why I think every designer should experiment with it in their own way. If you’ve been curious about how AI fits into real design workflows, grab your coffee and join me for this one. 🎧 Listen to more episodes and explore my work at ronalddesigns.com/podcast [https://ronalddesigns.com/podcast/] #pixelados #webdesign #AI #productdesign #uxdesign #ronaldrosales #designworkflow #creativeprocess #aidesign
