AI helped me write my mum's eulogy when I couldn't find the words
My mum passed away in May. I wanted to give the eulogy but I kept sitting down to write and nothing came. Everything felt either too small or too raw. A friend suggested I try talking to Claude — not to write the eulogy for me, but to help me find what I wanted to say. I started by just describing my mum. Her laugh. The way she made people feel. The things she always said. Claude asked me questions. What's a memory that captures who she was? What did she teach you without ever meaning to? Somewhere in that conversation I found my words. Claude helped me shape them into something I could actually stand up and say. I couldn't have done it without help. And I'm glad I asked for it.
I'm writing a eulogy for [person] and I'm struggling to find the words. Can you ask me questions to help me find what I want to say? I don't want you to write it for me — I want to talk through it and then shape what comes out into something I can read aloud. [5–7 minutes long]

We're a seven-table cafe in Hobart. Just me, my partner, and two part-time staff. We cannot compete with chains on budget, marketing, or anything else involving money. What we can compete on is personality and community. AI has helped us show more of that online. I never know what to post. Now I spend 20 minutes on Monday morning thinking through the week — what's coming up, what's been happening, what seasonal things are relevant — and I talk to Claude about it like a brainstorm. From that 20 minutes I get content ideas for the whole week. Instagram captions, a Facebook post, something for Google. All in our voice — warm, local, a bit cheeky. I also used it to write the content for our new menu. The descriptions used to be functional. "Eggs Benedict with hollandaise." Now they're actually tempting. "Two perfect eggs, silky hollandaise, on house-baked sourdough — the kind of breakfast that makes you slow down." Sales of our brunch items went up noticeably. We punch above our weight online now. Our Google rating is 4.9 with 340 reviews. That's not AI — that's genuinely good coffee and good service. But AI helped us tell that story better.
Help me brainstorm social media content for our cafe this week. Here's what's happening: [seasonal notes, specials, events, anything interesting]. Our tone: warm, local, unpretentious, slightly cheeky. Give me 5 content ideas with draft captions.
