2025 Global Digital Signage Awards List – AI’d Version

February 18, 2025 by Dave Haynes

As a bit of an experiment, I tweaked and cleaned up the spreadsheet I was provided for the 2025 Global Digital Signage Awards, threw this into Claude, monkeyed a little with the prompts, and ended up very quickly with a serviceable story that runs through the winners handed out a couple of weeks ago.

I wouldn’t use AI to just flat write stories for me, but for structured information like this, it’s pretty good! This version at least provides links and brief, albeit a bit generic descriptions of the projects unavailable in an earlier post today.
