Not everything has to be an All Too Well (10-minute version) of work. Sometimes, you just want the clean 3-minute pop track.
For me, that moment came when AI turned the endless loop of website testing into something quick, simple, and (dare I say) fun.
Instead of clicking through dozens of devices, resizing windows like I was in some kind of cruel “Choose Your Own Adventure,” and running reports that felt longer than The Tortured Poets Department. I tried AI.
Here’s what changed:
- Performance audits? Instant.
- SEO gaps? Highlighted with clear, quick suggestions (and if you’re curious about where search is headed next, check out Shake It Off or Step It Up: The Future of SEO).
- Landing page outlines? Drafted in seconds.
- User flow predictions? Ready before I even hit refresh.
And no, AI didn’t replace me. It was more like my backup singer, it hit the repetitive notes so I could focus on the creative parts of the show.
Why It Matters
Repetitive work drains your energy, and honestly, it steals the spotlight from the stuff that actually matters: creativity, strategy, and making your work shine.
Think of AI as your quiet co-writer. It helps shape the draft, but you still get to decide the final lyrics.
Real-Life Examples
I’m not the only one leaning on AI to simplify tasks:
- Marketers use tools like SurferSEO and Frase to brainstorm outlines, while still making sure their sites belong with SEO.
- Designers use Google PageSpeed Insights to test responsiveness instead of resizing every screen manually. Pair that with insights from Core Web Vitals optimization, and you’ve got a performance setup worth cheering for.
- Developers often combine AI with modern standards, like some of the HTML5 updates you should actually use, to ship smoother projects faster.
- Writers use AI to shake off writer’s block, but still polish everything in their own voice.

My Takeaway
AI isn’t the main act, it’s the supporting harmony. It helps you shake off the repetitive work so you can focus on the parts of your job that feel like the bridge of Enchanted: bold, creative, unforgettable.
And when you combine AI with emerging tech like WebAssembly basics, your workflow doesn’t just get easier, it gets smoother and faster too.
So, now I’m curious. I’ve told you my AI story. What’s yours?
