After 25+ years in healthcare technology, product management, and executive consulting, I didn’t expect one of my biggest learning experiences with AI to come from a passion project.
Building Gather has been more than launching a website. It has become a hands-on way to strengthen my skills in AI-assisted product thinking, design, content creation, workflow experimentation, and community-centered technology.
I started with a real problem: Latter-day Saint single adults 36+ often have scattered event information, disconnected groups, and limited ways to connect.
AI helped me move faster, but it did not replace the work of strategy, discernment, product thinking, or empathy. It helped me ask better questions, test ideas, organize features, and move from concept to ex*****on in only 4 weeks.
This project has reminded me that technology is most valuable when it is built around real human needs.
I would love to connect with others exploring AI-enabled product development, community platforms, or practical ways to use AI to build and learn. You can check out the website at the link in my bio.
What are you building or learning with AI right now?
