Learning more about AI and traveling again in the Dominican Republic.

Recently I started working on a travel prompt for my trips between Denmark and the Dominican Republic. It seems to be mainly like an extensive checklist. So yesterday at Gatwick Airport I had forgotten to fill out the e-ticket for entry to the DR. Luckily I was early at the airport and had lots of time to do it at check in. Another thing to remember. It’s a steep learning curve, but I’m excited about the potential of using AI for planning travel.

I am taking the course “Google AI Essentials” on the learning platform Cousera. From what I can understand AI can help enhance your own skills. They talk about augmented cognitive capabilities. I see it as a valuable collaborator. For instance I’m using it for tasks like structuring, my website and social media copy, but I’m cautious about relying on it for more creative writing. I want to keep my own style and voice. With AI I think it’s best to find out what you can use it for and how you can benefit from it. Instead of what it can’t be used for and waste time on proving that.

AI can be very useful for automated tasks. I believe that to be true. Also for small businesses. I am working on how Gemini in Google Workspace can help with some administrative tasks in my Dominican Republic company. For instance with collecting the information my business partner has to send to her accountant monthly for tax compliance. The expenses she has paid and the invoices she has issued related to real estate commissions.

She has low fixed monthly expenses but with the contacts and experience of all the prior years. I am not directly involved but I try to help with some things around the administration of the company and online marketing. We share a user in Google Workspace that is set up in Spanish and with Gemini AI. That is the tool I am trying to utilize for administrative tasks.

Now on my way to Santo Domingo. Flew into Punta Cana from Gatwick and before that from Copenhagen to Heathrow. Today I am in Bayahibe on the south coast of the Dominican Republic. After Santo Domingo I take the bus to Las Terrenas.
