🍀 St. Patrick’s Day AI Fortune Slots! 🍀
As an electrical engineering student at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly UMR) many years ago, St. Patrick’s Day was special. Green beer, parades, and students using shillelaghs to “drive out the snakes” during the “Best Ever” celebration. It was a tradition honoring the patron saint of engineers.
Today, the business world is transforming with AI. But real AI success doesn’t happen overnight. It takes problem-solving skills similar to what we learned as engineering students: curiosity to ask the right questions, testing ideas in different ways, and adapting when things don’t work as expected.
Though I started as an engineer, I quickly moved into GTM leadership roles. In the last two years as an AI advisor, I’ve seen that AI success doesn’t need a technical degree. Some of the best ideas happen when people bring fresh perspectives and real-world experience.
I’ve found that successful AI adoption comes from:
Starting small with specific use cases
Learning through hands-on experimentation
Building diverse teams that bring different viewpoints
The best results happen when we treat AI as teammates rather than just tools. It’s another kind of diversity with humans and AI bringing unique strengths to the table.
As a woman of color in tech, I’m passionate about closing the AI gender gap, with women currently using AI 16-20% less than men. We need diverse voices in AI so that it benefits all, not just a select few.
To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, I created a fun AI Fortune Slot Machine. It’s a simple AI tool built with plain English prompts, no code!
Check out the video demo below. Then give it a spin yourself and share your fortune. (Link in comments.)
Wishing you a great St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️
