Activity: Plan It!
Introduction
Welcome to an exciting journey where you'll use AI to plan an unforgettable experience! Whether it’s a gourmet dinner, an outdoor adventure, a weekend in Paris, or a lively company happy hour, you're in control. Use AI to discover culinary delights, scenic routes, or trendy venues, tailoring an event that's perfect for your taste. Ready to start this creative and innovative adventure? Let's see where AI can take us!
What You'll Need
- Computer/Laptop Access: One device per person or one device per group.
- AI Tool Access: For this activity, we recommend ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Bard.
What You'll Do
1. Get Started (5 minutes)
Ideate: What’s an experience you are excited to leverage AI to plan? Choose something timely and meaningful to you. It might be personal, such as a fun-filled family reunion, or it may be professional, such as a team-building retreat. Spend 1 min brainstorming ideas that excite and delight you.
Choose: Select the experience you will plan using AI. Then, decide if you would like to plan something together as a group, or work individually to plan events of your own choice. If working in a group, divide up tasks and components for a single event amongst the team.
2. Plan (2-5 minutes)
Determine the details and requirements for your event. Be as specific as possible, and consider the following:
- date and time
- setting (indoors or outdoors)
- number of participants
- budget
- types of activity – e.g., a brainstorm session, a yoga class, a trip to a museum, or a meal
- accessibility needs for participants — e.g., first floor or a wide range of activities for people with different needs and abilities
- desired outcomes and goals – e.g., team building, collaborative work session, socializing, or exercise
- What other requirements might you have that are specific to your event?
- You may not know certain details about your event, so take your best guess for now; you can always use AI to refine things down the road.
3. Explore (15 minutes)
Start planning with AI! Prompt AI with your request. Then, work from there to ask follow-up prompts and get more specifics based on the results and answers you’re given.
In some cases, AI may share detailed plans that work. In other cases, it may provide the start of an idea you can shape. Continue using different prompts to plan and build out the experience.
4. Reflect and Share (5 minutes)
Gather as a group to think and talk about what you learned from this exercise. Share surprises, aha moments and challenges, and how your learnings and realizations could help you in your own work.Tips & Suggestions
- Be as specific and direct as you can with your prompts. Ask for exactly what you need and want from pricing to phone numbers!
- Build off of previous prompts by asking for more details or recommendations.
- Approach the exercise like you’re having a conversation. Be clear and persistent in order to get the results that best meet your needs.
