2024 – The Beginnings of AI
A1 exploded in 2024 with huge numbers of business owners using ChatGPT on a regular basis.
But what’s ahead of us in 2025, 2026 and beyond? Many business owners are struggling to see how AI can be used, beyond ChatGPT.
While not strictly for business use, here at DIY Digital we thought we’d have a play with AI and see if it can bring us some Christmas joy.
Replit
Replit is a platform for software development and deployment. It helps coders code. Replit also allows non-coders to create website applications with AI by using prompts, similar to the prompts used in ChatGPT – although it requires a little more practice and trial and error. And although people without coding skills can use Replit, those with coding knowledge can use it more effectively.
Christmas Scenes
In Replit we created a Christmas landing page. There was a fair bit of trial, error and experimentation especially with the music and music player. The final result was 3 Christmas scenes each with
- snow animation which can be adjusted from light, medium and heavy snowfall
- unique Christmas song for each scene
Give it a go yourself
- click on the left and right arrow to switch between scenes
- use the snow slider to adjust the amount of snow
- click on the button to play and pause the Christmas Carol
The 3 scenes in our A1 Christmas each have their unique Christmas Carol.
- Christmas Penguin – Jingle Bells
- Christmas Tree – O Tannenbaum
- Aussie Cockatoos – We Wish You a Merry Christmas
Memory Game 1
Staying with the Christmas theme and still using Replit, we created a Christmas themed memory game. Feel free to have a play and test your memory skills.
Memory Game 2
We also created a Christmas themed memory game using Claude. Claude AI is similar to ChatGPT. We didn’t think the memory game it came up with was quite as good as the Replit result – but you can have a look for yourself at the Claude AI generated memory game (you might need to click on an orange button that says ‘show content’).
What’s Next?
Have you got some ideas on how you might use AI – for business or recreation? From creating surveys, to helping you plan dinners to analysing large amounts of data – we’re not sure what’s in store for AI in 2025 – but it could be an exciting, and maybe a rough ride, ahead.
