Practice Projects
Apply your skills with hands-on projects. Ordered by difficulty.
The Podcast-to-LinkedIn Pipeline
BeginnerSelect a favorite podcast episode. Transcribe it with Whisper, then use GPT-4 to generate 5 distinct LinkedIn posts: a key insight quote, a controversial question, a listicle of 3 takeaways, a story snippet, and a call-to-action. Create graphics for each in Canva.
Automated Blog-to-Newsletter Workflow
IntermediateUse Make.com to build a workflow that monitors your blog's RSS feed. For each new post, it calls the OpenAI API to generate a catchy email subject line and a 3-sentence teaser, then drafts an email in your ESP (like Mailchimp) for review.
Brand Voice Style Guide & Prompt Template
IntermediateAnalyze 10-20 existing pieces of content from a chosen brand (e.g., a tech company). Extract patterns in tone, vocabulary, and structure. Create a detailed brand voice style guide and a master 'few-shot' prompt template that instructs an AI to generate new social media content in that exact voice.
Interactive Report Deconstructor
AdvancedTake a lengthy PDF report (e.g., an industry trends report). Build a small Python script (or use a tool like Streamlit) that uses an LLM API to allow a user to ask questions about the report's content (RAG). Then, use the same tool to generate a one-page executive summary and a set of 10 tweet-length facts from the report.
