Video summary
The video features Swarna, the Director of Technology and Innovation at Global School Leaders, who shares how her nonprofit leveraged artificial intelligence to create a specialized microsite for a major virtual partner gathering held across three continents. The event was complex, involving over 50 organizations in more than 20 time zones with multilingual content in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. To manage this scale efficiently without hiring expensive developers or building long-term infrastructure, Swarna utilized "Lovable," an application builder that allows users to create functional websites through simple prompting rather than coding. The resulting site served as a temporary, view-only resource for the event's duration, providing agendas, countdown timers, partner logos from different regions like Asia and Latin America, and links to external surveys, effectively acting as a centralized hub for pre-, during, and post-event communication.
A key takeaway of the presentation is Swarna's strategic workflow that combined multiple AI tools to maximize efficiency while minimizing costs. She did not start from scratch but instead used another AI model, Claude, to analyze an existing reference website built two years prior and generate a detailed prompt structure for Lovable. This approach allowed her to bypass the steep learning curve of designing layouts manually. Throughout the project's three-month timeline, she iteratively refined the site by providing feedback on colors, adding specific sections like partner networks based on uploaded images, and integrating live countdown timers. She also utilized AI transcription tools like Fathom within Zoom meetings to automatically summarize sessions, which she then fed back into Claude to extract key testimonials and action items before pasting those summaries directly into Lovable for the final documentation tab.
The session concludes with Swarna emphasizing that while AI is powerful, its effectiveness relies entirely on human context, memory, and intentionality. She highlights that her engineering background helped her understand technical concepts like "view-only" versus authenticated sites, allowing her to make informed decisions about what features were necessary for a one-time event rather than over-engineering the solution with unnecessary storage or security protocols. By paying only $25 for a month of Lovable credits and using free tiers where possible, she demonstrated how nonprofits can stretch their resources significantly by leveraging AI as an assistant that handles repetitive tasks like drafting content and generating code structures based on human direction. Ultimately, the project proved that even without deep coding expertise or large budgets, organizations can build impressive digital experiences by strategically orchestrating different AI tools to handle specific parts of a larger workflow.

Welcome to EI impact hour for nonprofits
everybody. Thank you guys for being
here. My name is Artha Sims. I'm the
webinar producer here. As you're coming
in, yes, continue to let me know where
you're zooming from. I do have some
updates to give you. I'm excited that
I'm going to put a link in the chat in
just a moment. We're going to be having
a conference in partnership with Tech
Soup. It's called Stay of the Nonprofit
Community. I hope to see you there live
in Orlando, Florida. If you can't, the
next weekend we'll be having it
virtually. But today I bought one of
your community members, person who has
their own nonprofit or a part of a
nonprofit, serves as a nonprofit to come
do a demo for us. So in a moment,
Sworner is going to come on and she's
from the global school leader. She'll be
sharing with us uh something that's
exciting, which I think that something
we all need in the way we communicate
with people in our community is by
looking
at websites. That's how people reach out
to us. That's how people find us. That
that's how people know about some of our
fundraising and our events and they
register through our website. So, she's
going to do a demo on website. And I
know you're like website, but hold on.
You're gonna be surprised. I'm excited.
So, somebody said, "Looking forward to
the session in Dallas, Texas. Am I
coming to Dallas, Dylan? What explain to
me?" I love it. But no,
thank you so much for being here. I'm
gonna turn the floor over to you because
I want to give you all your time and
then we'll come back. I'll see you in a
moment. Welcome to Tech Soup.
>> Thank you. Um, hi everybody. This is
super exciting to be here. Uh, I have
been a member of Tech Soup for probably
six to seven years. So, I am Swarna. Uh,
I am the director of technology and
innovations from global school leaders.
Uh, we are a global nonprofit uh who
specifically work with school principal
training. Um we work in the Latin
America, Africa and Asia. Um I am mostly
based out of India but I'm here spending
a few uh months in the US. Uh and we are
a US-based nonprofit. Um so I have been
in the non in global school leaders for
oh gosh like almost six to seven years.
I have led the technology work here. Um
I'm an engineer who got into education
sector and I've been here for probably
13 years now. um I love technology to
make it easier for people. So today's
session is going to be about a specific
project that we did and I want to really
focus on a small aspect of that project.
Um so I'm going to first give you
context because context is very
important for an AI uh as well. Um so we
did a project called as virtual partner
gathering. As I said, we work with three
different regions, 50 plus organizations
who are also nonprofits and we bring
together our partner staff together uh
virtually for um event where we come
together, energize, connect and talk
about school leadership. Um so just a
little context about this particular
project because the AI tool was used
here. It'll help for you to understand
where I'm placing this. So it was a
3-day event completely virtual three
different time you can imagine I think
we dealt with 20 different time zones uh
in Asia, Africa and Latin America. We
had 50 plus organizations sign up. Um
this was done in March. It was a
multilingual event. You can imagine it
was in English, Spanish and Portuguese
specifically. Um we had two to three
months to plan execute. I led the
project and there was so many work
streams, so many teams. Um and I don't
think this is new for all of you here.
I'm sure all of you dealt with something
like this before. So in all these
particular work which I led there were
like so many working things and I used
AI and probably almost all but for this
focus specific session I want to
specifically focus on a site a micro
site I would call we built for the
partner event which was the gathering
the virtual gathering and when I say
gathering it was a zoom event guys like
that's what we usually do. Um so this
was a micro site we built for the
partner communication pre and postevent
and also during the event and please
note it was a one-time site. Uh I would
I'm calling these as a use and throw
site not a good language but it was just
for the event and it was not going to be
used afterwards. Right? So that's the
objective of what I used AI tool for. So
before getting into it as I said this
was a project that we did before. So
there's an end product for me to already
show you. But through this session, I'm
going to probably give glimpses of how
did we reach that end point using the
site. So the what the the the tool that
we used was lovable. Um so I'm going to
quickly show you what this product
actually looked like after we completed
3 months of project and stuffs like
that. So this is the this is how the um
the site looked even now. This is
something I built on lovable. As you can
see, it's L O V A B L E. Lovable is an
app. Um uh I think the the word is vibe
coding app that you can build apps by
just prompting and chatting. It's one of
the really famous and established vibe
coding app which also if I'm not wrong
turned into a unicorn. So a lot of
investment. Uh but this is an end
product. Right. Right. If you could look
at this knowing the context of the
project I just talked about, this is a
site. If you look at it right now, it
says, "Hey, thank you for joining us."
It also says a WhatsApp community link
that you can join. But this is the site
that I built uh at and you can see what
it looked like. And I'm going to show
you how did I build it in a in a couple
of minutes. But I want you to really
closely look at this product as I go
through because we're going to see the
timeline in a way. How did we come here?
So, as I said, it's a gathering. You can
see the color themes that's probably
repeating. This is our color theme uh
for the event. And you can see it's in
English and Spanish because language is
very important for us. Um and you can
see I have put together day 1, day 2,
day three event. So, you can see what
was the agenda for day two, what was for
day three. Um and also for day one
detailed agenda of what was going to
happen, which partner is going to come
and our network information like who's
coming from Asia, who's coming from uh
Latin America. Oh yeah. So these things,
right? And there were also some
instructions for our partners to say,
okay, before the event, please make sure
you fill this pre-event survey. Before
this event, you do this ABC and some
guidance.
And then this is what we share, right?
And then after the event, this was post
March as you could see, I also created a
tab called as gathering overview which
had details about what went on that day.
So you can see on the three days I had a
tab which said on day one all these
things happened. This was discussed.
This person said these things. We have
big summary of what happened in the
session and then similar for day two,
similar for day three. This is just a
glimpse of what we did for those 3 days
and it's a documentation of how the
event went and anybody can come here
even right now as you can see and see
actually what happened. Um it helps for
people to go through as text and we of
course have recordings and links that
was part of that event. So why am I
showing you the end product is is just
for you to know the context of this and
I think that's very very important for
any AI tool. So, I'm going to quickly
tell you, okay, this looks super
technical and overwhelming. If that's
your question in your mind, and if
you think, oh, Swartna, she said do
this, please remove that from your mind.
It's it's not the case because I'm going
to show you how did everything start.
So, the first thing I did here is we now
looked at the site, right? Um, and here
are some things for you to remember
before I go to the next step. before I
even created the site. These are some
things that we already knew. So I knew
the agenda of the three days like we a
lot of human effort right we work with
our team we know what we're going to say
what's going to be the agenda who's
going to be called who's going to be the
panel all those things were something
that our team was already doing and I
had a claude project when I say project
you can think I had a claude chat like I
used claude mainly for this so I used
claude I used a chat and I said it knew
everything for the 3 months of planning
from all all these things like who's
going to come, what time zones. So, it
had a memory, I would use the word
memory and context of everything I was
doing as the project was going. And the
most important thing I would kind of say
that I was very very clear that this is
a one-time site and there was no storage
needed in the site. And uh I'm going to
say in simple words, what do I mean by
storage? So imagine you are going in a
website and you have to login. Yeah, you
put username and password. So a website
needs to store it somewhere to
authenticate it, right? So this is a
advanced website. But the site I showed
you is a view only. You can only see it.
It's more text, beautiful messages,
beautiful themes, but you don't have
anything to put in, store or like load a
registration form inside the form. No,
it was a very simple view only app. So
how I started it and this is exactly the
prompt I took it from my history. This
is exactly what I gave. So I'm going to
read it. I'm going to I said I want to
build a website in this format. Can you
help me prompt this so that I can put in
lovable? Keep the prompt very simple.
All I need is one page with the hero
section, the partner gathering logo,
dates and tabs. I need a countdown timer
and it needs to be in English and
Spanish.
So you can see here I have highlighted
two things. One is I have given a
reference for a format and that is going
to be a very very critical thing because
I already had something in my mind that
I wanted the website to mimic. So for
people who here think that was too
overwhelming you have to think about
designing like I think for me it was
easier because I had a reference and I'm
going to show you that reference.
This is a partner site that we did two
years ago. This was a in-person meeting,
but you can see that there was already
effort from us that we did like a site
which was a one-site thing. Of course,
this was done on Wix. A developer worked
on it, a coms person. It was a huge task
and I would still not discount it. It
was a very important task, right? And
this was an in-person event. There was
day 1, day 2, day three. So, what I did
is it was a public facing form, a link.
So I copied this and I said in my prompt
very clearly that I gave it a reference.
So I'm not starting from scratch. I'm
saying hey this is a reference. Can you
make sure I have a very similar
structure but I want the output. If you
see this is a claude thing. So I'm
asking claude first like give me the
output so that I can paste it on
lovable. Right? So if you think about it
this is the first ever how it started
and it gave me this weird huge answers.
Don't don't get overwhelmed. I know this
looks very very overwhelming but I'm
going to show you how this helped me
build the first option. So you can see
here what I did is this right clude
already design planning communication
everything like who's going to talk
what's going to happen what's the time
zone even the coloring themes I told I
knew and I kind of trained Claude on
here is the color schemes and the the
partner the communication team helped in
this but I asked Claude how to prompt
lovable so Claude knew what kind of
prompt will lovable accept cept so that
I can build a better website. So imagine
this is the flow right. So I showed you
this I asked I showed you what I asked
Claude and I also showed you what Claude
gave me and I am going to copy this
and then show you lovable. This I should
have started but this is lovable. It's I
mean it sounds very cliche. Lovable is
really lovable. Uh it's very amazing
product. If you really love building
things, it could help you go from zero
to one pretty quickly. Um, and but you I
also want to give a caveat that people
think that you could wide code
applications and get into production
sooner. I would kind of break that myth.
As I said, know the strengths. I think
for us as nonprofit team who are not
very tech-savvy in a way, but we could
kind of prompt and do certain things. So
what I did is I took the uh output of
Claude because Claude gave me everything
I needed. I don't have to think about it
and Claude knew my reference, right? And
I'm going to attempt here, but I'm not
sure if would work well mainly because
here I took a choice. Lovable has a free
plan of course and a paid plan. The paid
plan is I think $25 a month and I was
strategic about getting it just for that
month. like I knew that $25 was worth
the investment than me trying to hire a
developer and build a website. So, I
used it, but now I have a free plan, but
I'm still going to try this. So, I'm
going to paste the exact thing that
Claude gave me for you to know how it
would work. So, basically, you are it's
almost talking to Claude, right? You
you're talking to a AI tool and you're
saying, "Hey, I want to build a website
which would look like this. It needs to
have this. It needs to have that."
you're prompting it things for you to
just remember and this is a more thing
for you to really remember if you're
using lovable is of course everybody
really gets money because of the credits
of AI which is now getting more and more
expensive right so one very important
thing to remember is this option which
says build or plan so here you can see
build is like it will automatically
start like doing the work okay I'm going
to create a website it starts working
for every work it because it will charge
us AI tokens. But if you want to plan,
you could kind of discuss it. It's
almost like before building that you
talk like, "Oh, I don't like this color.
Can you change this into blue? I like I
don't like this color. Can you make
that?" You could plan it and then build
it. And that's one way of saving
credits. So, for now, in this free plan,
I'm just going to paste it. And I'm
going to just build it. I'm going I'm
just asking it to build. So, let's let
it work on the side. And you can see it
will be thinking it will be doing
something on the left and it's building.
I hope I don't I can do this in a free
plan but I want to show you what kind of
uh work that went behind building this
site and I have everything ready for you
on another tab.
So so this is like I would call it like
a timeline of how and where it went. And
if I'm not wrong my chat history was
from February end to March end. That is
the chat history. Of course, I can't
show you every iteration. Please
remember that building a site is
iterative, right? You start something,
then you go on building, building,
building, right? So the output, the
first ever output that lovable gave me
from the claude's input is what you're
seeing. This was a preview. So I'm
showing you this was my first attempt of
what I put as prompt. Now if you think
about my end product, this is no nothing
looks like the end product, right? That
means I have worked through that end
product by by keeping on talking and
improving it as the project move
forward. So you can see here I have a
countdown which of course won't work now
because the event is over but there's a
logo you can see the same thing but it
just has 1 2 3 and it stops. But you
remember my end product was more
detailed. So I'm going to show you few
changes that I did and meanwhile I'm
just going to check if my AI thing um
working. I think it's still trying to
think this through. So I'll still stick
with my own plan here. So this was the
first attempt. Now after I think I have
tried to do it like after 2 days of my
working. Of course this this keeps
changing. This is my second preview. The
next timeline where I keep kept giving
it more and more kind of uh inputs. You
now you can see oh now I have a logo and
now the colors have changed. So you can
see this is where my input goes. And
when you say when you're asking me what
do you mean by input swarna it looks
something like this. So as I build
sessions you can see my chat history
which goes way way way back. But all I'm
trying to tell you is this is my first
thing as I said February 25th I gave the
first prompt. Then I kept on improving.
You can say oh after the logo can you do
this? Can you change this things? So I
kept on talking being strategic about
the AI tokens because I got a paid plan
for one month.
And I kept on improving it. And this is
the timeline. First one, okay, it was
0ero to one like starting somewhere.
Second, I added a new logo. I said,
"Hey, can you make sure these colors are
not black, but I want the themes of the
colors." And I changed it. And you can
see it's still the same. Now, after a
few days, as the project's getting on
the side, I'm working with my team
trying to figure out the sessions. I
would say the next attempt you can see
is before this and this, I added
seconds. as like oh I think seconds
would be cool because you can see the
timer running and now you can see it's
more advanced right the same agenda day
1 day 2 day three we have it here but oh
I now have a partner organization update
because at that moment of time we knew
that these people are participating so I
I kept I said hey we now know who's
going to come can you add their logo it
was able to add it and of course I gave
the logo it like I uploaded the logo to
it right and then I also added this
partner a network section. I said, "Hey,
uh, can you add a new section at the end
where I have three tabs if I share
Africa, Latin America?" And for each of
these tab, this image should come. If
you think this was too complicated, I
just took a screenshot of a deck from
our partnership slide. So, it's not
complicated. I just took a picture of
our existing slide and I just uploaded
it here. Right? So, Asia, Africa, LATAM,
it was able to upload. And as you go
below, as you can imagine, my project is
going now. I have a survey link that's
ready and these imag these are not
surveys that happens inside the website
it happens outside the website. So this
was add giving them to um I think it was
a Zoho survey link we gave a link for
the myro board. So this is more like add
this add a button to call for action
as it goes. So after a few more days I'm
going to the next section now looks at
what changed. Okay, day 1, day 2, day
three. But ooh, now we have an agenda
which was not there before. Because at
that point of time, my project had
agenda. So as I'm working, I come here,
I give an agenda and it's able to
update. And please remember here all I
did was talk, right? I did not say put
in a blue box. I think AI needs context
and you're keeping on building on top of
it. So then I'm like, hey, now a new
agenda came. Can you help me build it?
And then it was able to give me and for
all these things remember Claude was my
main thing. So my project planning
Claude came Claude gave me a prompts
which I used it again in lovable. So now
you know it's it's getting on improving.
So now I think we were mostly done. So
now the next So now I think the event is
over. It went well. Great. Now I'm
coming after the event. This is most
postevent happening. So now you can see
now I added a banner that says thank you
for joining. So as soon as the event got
over I made sure that there was a thank
you for joining. So all I came back and
said hey can you add a new banner which
says thank you for joining and add a
link that will take you to a feedback
survey. Again project is happening. I'm
informing talking to Claude if needed or
directly coming to lovable and typing it
out. Now this is ready. The last thing I
really want to focus here is how I am
also using other AI tools to get to this
point. So now you can see I decided as a
team that we need a overview because a
lot of times we send oh here is all the
recorded videos right but I was in a
session where somebody sent me an
overview like this so I had a reference
in my mind now oh I want an overview but
I want it like this again same step what
I did I went to Claude I said hey I have
an overview idea can you help me do this
but for this one important thing now if
you think about like how on earth did I
write overview for 3-day event which was
almost close to 6 to 7 hours of meeting.
So for that what I did is let me show
you in a minute here
I used other AI forms. So same concept
claude and lovable but in all our zoom
meetings we had zoom summary and fathom
is a AI tool that I use very personally
for note takingaking. So I introduced
both of them to all our Zoom meetings.
So, Fathom and Zoom gave me summaries of
all three days with even the
transcripts. So, using that, I just
uploaded back to the same claude chat.
Now, Claude knows that all these things
happened. It also now knows what
happened in those three days. Then I ask
a technical prompt and saying, "Hey,
Claude, I want a summary. Pick out these
things. I want testimonials. I want
important phrases to remember. I want
important key steps to remember." And
then Claude helped me create a prompt
that I could just go paste it back to
lovable. And then in lovable I kept on
changing and improving. Right? That is
the process. So imagine you used
multiple AI tools. So I could play
around using Claude's advantages,
Fathom's advantages, and Lovable's
advantages. Right? And then with that, I
was able to build um this overview. Day
1, day two, day three, what happened,
what opened. Again, I just went back to
Lovable and I kept on typing it. So,
this is how we reached at this point of
time. Um, I know I I don't think Lovable
was able to give me what I wanted to
show live. Um, let me check. Um, was it
this? No, hold on.
Oh, it's trying to do but you can see
it's I did not give the logo so it
created one which I made a mistake but
you can see it almost created the very
same thing I showed you. So, very
similar structure that it gave. And then
here is where I say we could keep on
adding, right? So it it also gives you
prompting. Then I said, "Can you change
the
color of xxx?" I'm just going to give
you. So this is how you build. You have
a chat box, you type, it builds, you see
the preview. Again, be very careful
about the AI credits. I think we have
100 credits for a month or a day if I'm
not wrong for the paid plan. So I I'm
very careful on where I use credits.
maybe I can use those credits back in
claude do everything I have to think
come back here and do it right so this
is how I was able to build the site uh I
realize I've been talking for a long uh
but overall I think what I really really
wanted to communicate to you is
this one so I was able to show you all
these things this is all the chat
history that I showed you right so you
remember that we started off here we
kept on improving we kept on talking to
lovable we were able to reach teach
this, right? But the most important
thing for you to remember in in this
entire section is these three things.
First one, just ask about just ask oh
I'm sorry this a typo I should have just
ask AI about AI. A lot of times we think
about a new tool and you know oh my god
where do I start? But if you are
comfortable with one tool, say if it's
that GPT or Gemini or Claude, I always
use another AI to help me think about
another AI. Like if you think your
prompting needs to be good, just ask AI
how to prompt. Like you can say how I
used Claude to prompt lovable, right?
Just do that. The second one I feel this
is my personal opinion that when you
know the strengths and weaknesses of
different tools, the sum always beats
the part. So I was able to leverage Zoom
summary, Fathom summary, claude, lovable
all together to put down a really good
gathering overview and FYI uh the the
site that we built almost had,500 views
and people really loved it that they
were able to see it all in one place,
right? And from a cost perspective of
course my time, but it was a $25
investment to do this and I did not take
extra effort because there was already a
lot of things happen. It was just a
thought on how you can use existing
projects here. And the last one, I will
never underestimate this uh is like AI
is as powerful as the human behind it.
Like context and memory plays a very
important role. Like if you remember, I
I was the person who was taking care. So
I knew what was happening. I made sure
Claude knew Claude knows everything. So
plot would not give me an amazing output
if it did not know about even the
smallest things of like the time zones
uh or what time zone is someone from
Sierra Leon so that it makes that it it
puts that clearly on the site right and
for that there was a lot of memory
memory is a term I use for claude for it
to remember and there a lot of
intentional work here um in terms of
cost lovable we paid for that for that
month claude we have a claude for
nonprofits account thereby from privacy
concerns and all those things was within
the project so we didn't have to uh we
were cautious about making sure what we
using AI and what we are not using AI
for but I can never discount the amount
of people who made this happen right for
the site to happen there was so much of
effort from our comm's team a
partnership team me to just keep on
feeling it so the foundation is always
human but the way you use AI is really
powerful when you use that Um, I'm going
to stop here. I realize I've been
speaking for quite uh 25 minutes now.
Um, but I'm going to stop here. This is
what I really wanted to say how you can
use Lovable with combination of
everything to build a site that can be
super super powerful. Uh, and I'm going
to stop here and see.
>> Amazing. Amazing. Yes, there were
questions in the chat. Amazing, guys.
And um let me scroll back up because and
guys feel free to look at the look at
the hand clap emojis going up. Yes, I
love it. Uh um Els El Elsa said this is
a real eye opener. Yes, it really is. Um
let's see who said uh quick quick scroll
up scroll up. Okay. Um, can level add to
an existing website? Like if we wanted
to build the build the storage side of
what of the site instead of connecting a
member CRM. H
>> I think I like the way you describe that
it's a one-off. But yeah, go ahead.
>> Yeah, I feel so I think lovable can do a
lot of things depending on what we need.
The only thing for us to take that call
is it needs an investment of a tech
person right like for authorization for
authentication for security for single
sign on you we can I can definitely
build a registration site on office I'm
sure lovable is lovable and it's it's
one of the unicorn because it gives that
but I think there's a difference between
uh like prototyping to deployment in a
real world with all these authorizations
so I was very clear that that's not
something I want or that's not something
for this project we wanted. So, we did
not go about that. But I'm assuming I'm
and I need to check. I'm assuming it's
possible. We just need more investment
of time and energy and probably a tech
person if you can understand the coding
and stuffs like that.
>> Yeah, you said all the keywords. I know
I used lovable and then I realized I had
to add it to something else and add to
connect it to something else and
something else and all those little
things kept costing money. So I realized
it wasn't the right tool for what I
needed for that moment. Okay. Somebody
said where where did the feedback survey
assuming that the separate platform and
not something that [clears throat] AI
built for you? Where did you do the
feedback survey?
>> Yeah. So so we just used our own surve.
So basically we have certain tools in
global school. So we use Zoho survey is
our survey uh form default. We don't use
Google survey mainly because Zoho gives
us multilingual options. So that has
always been our um go-to. So we build
all our surveys there. So the website
would link them to a Google the Zoho
survey where they will just fill it in
and then we have a mechanism to look
through that surveys and do it. So as
you that's a good question because this
was like a a one site for people to know
what are the options but sometimes tech
doesn't have to integrate everything
right that makes it more complicated and
having a survey separately works
perfectly fine because we have a
ecosystem where people know how to log
into the survey find out responses but
as a project manager I still take those
survey put it back to claude if needed
and making sure there's no confidential
information and then I yes I use claude
again to see okay we got this much
feedback survey uh can you tell me who
has not filled it so it helps me now
track people who have not filled it and
started another communication so we use
different systems but for me the
intention was to have everything in
claude uh for it to know and like know
have the memory
>> so good all right um Mike was saying
wondering if um using if you're using
the basic claude chat in a project or
are you using clawed co-work in a
project that's a good question
>> um I did not used cloud co-work. I just
used the basic uh version. Uh it was
just prompting and chatting right. So I
just used a very normal claude. I think
when I was doing this if I'm not wrong
earlier stages I used a claude pro
account in my account but I think later
I moved to the claude uh nonprofit
account but the functionalities are
still the same. I did not use claude
co-work at all for this.
>> Good. Good. Good. Caroline said was any
of your content considered confidential?
And was the site secure in any way? And
there's another question she asked, but
I'll let you answer that one.
>> Yeah, that's a very good question. I
think um even for this presentation, I
was thinking, oh my god, I have to share
screen. Is it something? But I thought
through it, right? I don't think there's
anything confidential uh specifically
for this event. Of course, if there's
something else, we would have thought
about it. So, this site doesn't have any
email ids or or anything that people can
contact of except like say the
communications email ID. So we didn't
have anything very confidential even the
conversation was more broader about this
leadership community. So even now
probably even if you read this or see
this recording you will only see what
was the highlight what was the
conversation around and there was
nothing very important uh that was in
our in our standards confidential. Yeah.
>> Beautiful. And I love how you said you
got a $25 donation and you use that $25
to build that site for that event. And
so this goes back to Carolyn's second
part of her question. Do you have
credits with Claude and with Lovable?
And was there a limit to each?
>> Um, so I think for Claude, uh, because I
had a I we have a pro account which is,
uh, it has its own usage limits. I'm not
but usually Claude Pro accounts gives
you more
gas to run other than a free account. It
I I think it was still manageable. Um I
don't remember the exact limit. I don't
think it's it's there's a strict number
but like if I'm using it a lot like to
do like building reading PDFs and
building something sometimes I used to
go of usage limits but it will be like
hey you can come back after 4 hours even
in a pro account. So in that way claude
was still helpful because this project I
showed you was a two months project
right. So it was not everything on one
day. So, we still had that leeway to go
around with this. And for Lovable, as I
said, I got a one month uh $25 account
which hadund $100 100 credits like and
their credit definition is very
different. So, it was it was I [snorts]
did not I think I under I I kind of
overpaid. I would have if there was an
option under that, I would have taken
but that was the minimum. I did not use
it at all as much as I should have. But
$25 a month was perfect for us in that
way. M so good. So I wanted to give an
opportunity for anybody that wanted to
come on. You you don't have to come on
camera if you want to share how you're
using AI and how it's make it made an
impact on your nonprofit. Uh again uh
lots of thumbs up coming up for you. Uh
Swarna, I love how you all are coming to
the AI impact hour every month to
participate. when you leave there is
going to be a survey and on that survey
it asks if you would like to be a
presenter or a panelist and um let's see
it's we have one it's 1:34 so um we
don't have to take all this time if
there's no one who wants to come up to
share how you're using AI um this is
your time to share and also it's a time
that pe when people hear it they think
ah because look at this building a
website you know how much people are
charging to build websites five and 10
and $15,000.
Um, and that was just for an event and
she took advantage of the $25 gift that
they got and created a website just for
that one time. I think that's amazing.
It shows the innovation of um what
nonprofits have to do to make their
money stretch. So, uh, did you want to
share anything? I think as she put thank
yous in the chat, lots of um, comments
coming up. No, I'm just really really
grateful that you demoed Lovable. I
think that's a great tool that a lot of
nonprofits probably are not aware of.
And then for those that who are aware of
it, they may not realize how simple it
can be. Yes, it can get complicated, but
it is built so you don't have to worry
about coding. And I also love how you
leverage Claude or I should say another
generative AI tool to help prompting
because that that I love that that you
did that because it helps with the back
and forth and like you said using the
credits, right? But for me it also is
kind of like in the background showing
me and teaching me new prompt skills as
well. So once I leave from those
platforms as I'm using co-pilot for
something else, I remember how Claude
kind of reformatted those prompts and
you know what I was thinking. So this
was really really really really helpful.
I hope that you continue. I hope you
come back and demo something else like
this was really really great. Thank you
so much.
>> Yes, I agree. Okay, there's a question
in the Q&A. It said the project seemed
like it was extensive. Was this your
first goaround or have you done things
like this before? Your finished product
was impressive. Just wondering um what
your experience was. Great question.
>> Oh wow. Um well um I think this was my
first uh in a way which is where I have
to do like an event. Uh I was leading an
event completely end toend project
management and things like that. I have
built um sites before uh like my first
project when I joined my nonprofit was
to build a site during co because it was
co and we had to host something. So I
have experience of building low tech
solutions. Um like my go-to was Google
sites. Google sites is still my very
very very um uh like it it's it's I
don't know if I should call it's my
lovable in a way like Google sites is
super easy to build. Everybody mostly
has Google. So so I feel
I have a lot of experience building
those kind of sites and I also want to
call out that you know like I do have an
engineering background which which I
have not coded for a long time so I did
not code as such but I do understand and
acknowledge that that also sometimes
helped me in certain ways for example
even my first prompt you would have
noticed I said the hero section needs to
be this and I think that's a keyword I
kind of know because I've done this so
many times but again I don't want to
share that only if you are an engineer
who have built sites, you can do this.
The reference is very very helpful. So
if you like a site, you can even take a
screenshot and keep it and if it's a
public site, you can just say uh the uh
AI to use it. But I would say this is my
first time doing like an end to it
project like this was a small part I
think in many different parts of the
same project. I used AI in many ways
mainly because of resource constraints
to be honest. Um but uh building sites
is something I I do a lot. So yeah,
>> I love it. I'm so impressed. So once
again, thank you for being here. I would
love for you guys to put some more
emojis, some hearts, some claps, some
finger snap. There's no finger snap, but
you can snap your own finger behind the
screen. People were saying that's
fantastic, Cindy. Thank you, Cindy. Lots
of emojis going up for you, Swana. I
really thank you for being here and
sharing your knowledge. Yes, it was
fantastic. As people were saying, thank
you, thank you, thank you in the chat.
Um, you guys are going to get the video
replay later today or early tomorrow.
Um, feel free to put your information in
that survey that's going to pop up when
you leave Zoom. It's going to pop up on
your window. Three, four little
questions take you four minutes to fill
it out. And I would greatly appreciate
it. Thank you guys. And I'll see you
next month.
>> Thank you so much. Have a good day. Bye.
Bye. Bye.
>> Bye.
