Day 17: Your first project

Today's idea

Imagine building blocks (like LEGO) scattered across the floor at home, lots of little separate pieces. Playing with one piece at a time isn't much fun, but put them all together and you've built a car or a house. Over the last few days you learned pieces like asking AI questions, fixing writing and checking answers. Today we put them together to make one whole task.

A whole project means something you did from start to finish with AI's help. For example, planning an event, getting an application written and ready to send, putting a list of household things in order, or getting ready for an exam or a presentation.

For a task like this, first tell AI exactly what you want to do. If it gives you a step-by-step plan, go through the steps one by one. If you get stuck somewhere, ask again. At the end, read the whole result carefully yourself.

Try it yourself Time: 3 minutes

1. 1.Pick a real task you need to do this week. It can be small or big.
2. 2.Open an AI app and describe the task clearly, like this:

   Replace each part inside square brackets [ ] with your own details.

   I want to [name of the task]. Please make me a plan for how to do it step by step, from start to finish.

   Copy
3. 3.Start the first step of the plan today.
4. 4.When the task is done, read the whole result yourself once to check that everything is right.
