I have been a software developer for several years but I’m new to AI programming concepts. I use ChatGBT all the time and I’ve been reading about AI programming concepts. However, I tend to envision SQL solutions instead of AI solutions (If all you have is a hammer…). Most of my work has been web development, so I asked ChatGBT “how can web developers use AI to help clients?” and it gave me 15 use cases. For most of them, it ended with “…and then use AI algorithms [to solve the problem]”. Not super helpful, but one that stood out to me was “Analyze Website and Online Presence”.

Analyze Website and Online Presence-

• Examine competitors’ websites to understand their design, user experience, content quality, and functionality.
• Evaluate clients’ search engine optimization (SEO) efforts, keywords, and backlink strategies.
• Study their social media presence, engagement levels, and the type of content they share.

If a reusable tool could be developed and automated with minimal code writing, then the harvested data would have greater value. I would be especially interested in how AI solutions could analyze “content quality” and “functionality”. A reusable AI tool like this, one that can analyze any competitor’s online presence would be a valuable tool for any business. Tools like these are starting to be developed and sold as we are entering a new era where AI tools can be found for any scenario and, ideally, work out of the box. It’s an exciting time for software development.
