Assignments

Task 1 — AI Content Creation

Aug 7, 2026

Pick any product, brand, or service you like — it can be real or something you invent on the spot — and make a 10–30 second AI UGC-style video for it. Use whichever parts of the taught workflow that works best for you: write the script, generate your visuals, put it all together, then ship it!

Built: No camera. No crew. No studio. I created AI-generated UGC-style video ads for TAJBank — scripted, visualised and assembled entirely with AI tools — all driving one thing: download the app. This is what modern content production looks like now.

Learned: I learned how to think alongside AI rather than just prompt it — turning a blank page into ideas, then ideas into posts, captions, and full scripts. From there the work moved into visuals: generating realistic images, designing consistent characters, and bringing still frames to life with motion. I picked up faceless content techniques and, more importantly, learned to build them into repeatable systems rather than one-off pieces. By the end, I was producing ads and UGC-style content that could genuinely compete for attention.

Task 3 — Everything Claude AI

Aug 10, 2026

Write and publish a post titled "5 things I do with Claude AI" where you share five specific, real ways you use Claude in your work, studying, business, or daily life.

Built: I designed a beautiful carousel post post to explain 5 key things I do with Claude AI, a very powerful AI tool.

Learned: Being specific is harder than being impressive. My first draft listed what Claude can do — a features list, not a post. The version worth publishing named five things I actually did, messy details included. And the responses came from the examples I nearly cut for being too small.

Task 2 — AI-Assisted App

Aug 10, 2026

Build a simple web app that someone can sign in to and do something interesting that solves a business problem. Keep it simple, keep it functional, and get it deployed.

Built: I built CryptoWatch, an intuitive web app that helps crypto investors track their investment portfolio with a simple and interactive UI.

Learned: Show everything, and you've shown nothing. My first version displayed every number a crypto portfolio produces. The one that worked cut most of them. Second lesson: live data fails, so the broken state needs designing too.

Task 4 - AI Automation

Aug 13, 2026

Pick one repetitive, manual process that currently eats your time. It can come from your own work, from a pod mate’s job, or from a real business you've found online. The only requirement is that it should be a task a human is doing by hand right now, where a machine could do the heavy lifting instead.

Built: Job hunting used to eat my mornings. Now it happens without me — an AI workflow that scans 10+ job boards and drops fresh listings into a Google Doc on schedule, every week.

Learned: Connecting ten job boards was easy. Keeping them running was not. I learned to design for the failure — one broken source shouldn't kill the whole run. And pulling in everything was simple; deciding what was worth reading is where AI earned its place.
