Quick Start Guide

Assignment Rationale

This assignment will let you experiment with a generative AI tool of your choice, and you will strengthen your critical thinking skills as you evaluate its strengths and weaknesses.

Where to Start

Think of a product that you already know how to use. It can be a bluetooth headset, an app, a video game, a sewing machine, or anything that requires a little bit of setup to use.

Assignment Steps

This assignment is a little more structured than others in our course, so please follow these steps:

  1. Open Copilot or any other text-based generative AI tool you prefer (don’t pay for it unless you happen to already have a subscription)
  2. Write a prompt that asks it to generate a quick-start guide for your product of choice. (copy and paste this somewhere - it is part of what you need to turn in)
  3. Evaluate the output. Try to follow the steps yourself, or at least imagine following them.
  4. Prompt it again (and again) if needed (again saving your prompts somewhere).
  5. Reflect on the process and write a short (200 words) reflection on the tool’s strengths, weaknesses, and anything that you learned (or anything that surprised you).

What is Due

On your portfolio, post the following: -The name of the tool (with the link if you have it) -Your prompts -The best output -Your reflection —
