01 / BUILT THIS WEEK
Build a useful event microsite.
I’ve been making microsites this week. Start with the questions people keep asking: when, where, what to bring and what happens next.
Try it: Gather one event’s notes. Ask AI for a mobile-friendly page, then check whether the time, place and next step are easy to find.
|
STARTING PROMPT
Turn these event notes into a mobile-friendly one-page site with a schedule, location, FAQ and a clear next step. Use only the details provided. Put missing information in a checklist for me. Show me a local preview before publishing.

02 / TRY THIS BUILD
Make a spreadsheet interactive.
A suggested mini build: turn a budget or pricing spreadsheet into a calculator. Change a few inputs and compare two scenarios.
Try it: Use a sample budget. Add inputs for the biggest costs and check three results against the original spreadsheet.
|
STARTING PROMPT
Using this sample spreadsheet, build a small what-if calculator. Keep the formulas and assumptions visible. Let me change the main inputs and compare two scenarios side by side. Show the total and what drives the difference. Use fictional data for the first version, then check three examples against the spreadsheet. Show me a local preview.

03 / WORKFLOW WE TRIED
Give your inbox a morning brief.
A workflow we worked through this week: surface the messages that need a decision and draft replies you can review.
Try it: Ask for your five most important messages since yesterday, with a short explanation and a reply draft for each.
|
STARTING PROMPT
Review my inbox since yesterday. Pick up to five messages that need a response or decision. For each, link the original, explain what is needed and draft a short reply in my voice. Flag missing context. Do not send anything.
