2. Kickstarting Creativity with AI Module 1: Hi everyone. Welcome to the
first module of our course. Kickstarting creativety with AI. Today we will explore how
to enhance your creativity and ideation process
using powerful AI tools. By the end of this
session, you will have a solid understanding of creative problem
solving frameworks, a glimpse into how
AI can revolutionize your idea generation
and hands on experience in brainstorming
innovative solutions with AI. Let's dive in. Imagination is the source of our creativity, but imagination and
creativity are not the same. Imagination is the
ability to bring mind things that are not
present in our senses. Imagination is the primary
gift of human consciousness. We may not be able to
predict the future, but by acting on the ideas produced in our imagination,
we can help to create it. The imagination
liberates us from our immediate circumstances and all the constant possibility
of transforming the present. Successful idea
generation relies on a variety of factors, stimuli both external
and internal, clear objectives,
diverse perspective, mind mapping,
prototyping, environment, and cross disciplinary
collaboration. By understanding and
leveraging these essentials, you can enhance your
creativity and innovation, paving the way for
breakthrough ideas. Then what is creativity? Creativity is a process of having original ideas
that have value. Creativity is a process. It includes a relationship between two main aspects
that bounds of each other, generating ideas and
evaluating ideas. Creativity is a skill that can
be mastered with practice. Creativity is often seen as
a mysterious, innate talent. But the truth is, it's
a skill that anyone can develop with the right
toolset and mindset. At the heart of creative
thinking lies problem solving frameworks
like design thinking, which focuses on
understanding user needs. Scamper, a technique for tweaking existing
ideas by substitute, combine, adapt, modify, put to another use,
eliminate, and reverse. Mindmapping helps
organize thoughts, visually to uncover
patterns and connections. To get started, let's identify
challenges in your field. Moment to think about
common problems or frustrations you encounter
in your industry, community, or personal life. For example, in the
context of sustainability, you might ask, how can we reduce plastic waste
in everyday life? Write down a few challenges that resonate with
you by framing these as opportunities
rather than obstacles, you have taken the first
step towards innovation. Once you have thought
down an opportunity, now break it down to
smallest problems and prioritize the one which
has the biggest impact. Now that you have
identified challenges, let's explore how AI can be
your creative collaborator. AI tools like T GPT, M journey, and mindmapping softwares are incredible resources
for generating, refining and visualizing ideas. These tool RNs assistants. They are just co creators that
can think outside the box, spark new directions, and even push beyond
your comfort zone. I will show you how you
can leverage some of these less known
AI tools that you can use to break
down complex topics, create ideas,
generate mind maps, spark inspiration, AI tools that help you conduct in
depth research and about a topic and how to
correlate ideas that will help you in cross pollination
of ideas across industries. Hi everyone. I wanted
to introduce you to a tool using which you can
think out ideas better. So it's an AI tool.
It's called LBS. It's a brand new way to engage with artificial
intelligence technologies. Albux can break down topics, create insights,
generate images also. So you can come to this website, and here you can say New board. So here, you can type in any topic that
you want to research. So let's take a
real world problem. That is an innovation challenge. So let me come to this portal. So there are a lot of innovation challenges
connected by NASA. So one such innovation challenge is waste to base
materials challenge, which is about sustainable
reprocessing in space. So you should help NASA
improve future space missions by proposing approaches to
permit efficient reprocessing, recycling, repurposing
of onboard resources. So in simple words,
there is a lot of waste that is generated
in a spacecraft. You should try to
repurpose or recycle these waste to reduce this
waste generation in space. So now, if you want to find
solution to such a problem, you need to start at some point. So you can come here
to this portal. You can start this canvas. Now we'll say breakdown
topics and ideas. So here I will say
waste in space. Waste in spacecraft because otherwise it will include
satellite waste rods. So I'll say Enter. Now, it will break down this
topic into several topics. So now you see types of
W. So when I click on it, you see an additional
arrow coming up. Now it will show you what are the different types of waste
that is generated in space, all generated using AI. So now you can see recycling
methods that is there. So disposal procedures in space. What is the
environmental impact? What are the hygiene
considerations? So if I click on
it, it'll go and expand and give me more
information about it. So if you see here, another significant
types of waste in spacecraft is water waste. Lastly, spacecraft
produces gaseous waste, which is carbon dioxide. So here, an interesting feature you see is that it will generate thought provoking questions that will help you
generate more ideas. How is waste managed in
extreme environments? What technologies recycle
resources in closed system. So when I click on it,
it will further expand. What are the hygiene
considetration? So to prevent the
spread of pathogens and controlling order in confined
space of spacecraft, hygiene concentration
are also important. So if we click here, how do microorganism behave
in microgravity? What are innovative waste
disperson methods in space? So when I click on it, I can
get more thoughts about it. So one approach in recycling
where waste materials are processed and converted
into useful resources. This include techniques such as water recycling where
water is treated. Another innovation
method is three D printing with
recycle materials. This involves recycling
plastic waste on board the spacecraft and using it as a feedstock for three D print. So there are experiments
exploring possibility of utilizing biological systems
to break down waste. Bioactives equipped
with microbes or plant systems could
potentially process waste. So now if I want to see or
visualize how this looks like, so I can click on this image, so it will start
generating images. So using the visual stimuli, I will be able to
stimulate more ideas. So this will again provoke more ideas in my brain for
some of the new ideas. So if you see here, it is
generated some of these images. So if you want to go through
it, you can click on it. So it's showing
all these images. Now, coming back here, I can see further drill down disposal procedures for waste
in spacecraft are crucial. So the waste is often compacted and stored
until it can be safely disposed upon entry
into Earth's atmosphere. So now if I want
to summarize it, I can get a quick summary of it and I can create
nodes out of it. So if I go to the recycling
methods for waste, these are the various
methods for that. If I want to ask some questions. So let me ask some questions. So this is the ask
questions button. Find innovative methods for recycling food waste. Okay, so I'm asking it to find innovative methods for
recycling food waste. So this is the breakup of it. So it is breaking down a complex topic
into smaller parts. So these are things can be done. Now if I want to add something, I can go ahead and add in space. Be space has its
own limitations. So now if I click on
it, it again generate. This is the general one for recycling food waste in space. This is the one. So these are the existing things
which is available, orbital, Synax, syngas,
commodity augmentation reactor. So these efforts are
part of broader focus on sustainability for longer
duration missions. So if I want to generate
further questions on that, I can do that, too. So what are the benefit
of using such a system? What are the challenges of a
crackling in microgravity? So another important
thing that you can get from this
is that you can understand the pain points of the customer or the
real problem itself, which is not quite
visible in the challenge. So if you try to solve
those pain points, then you will be able to work towards very
innovative solutions. If you go to that original
breakdown of ideas, so this is the original idea. Now you see how it is breaking
down into various topics. So in this way, you
will be able to think out better ideas using
this tool and use AI to generate thought
provoking questions that will lead to
a spark of ideas. Thank you. Do you
know you can create wonderful innovations by taking inspiration from
existing designs? One great way of doing it is by coming to this portal
called Instructbs. Here, people have listed
various DIY, that is, do it yourself projects that solve various
day to day problems. So if you're solving any
innovation challenge, which is related to the
topic that you're solving, you can come here and
just put in the topic here and it will show
you various projects. It will not directly
give you ideas, but it will give you
related ideas which you can connect with your imagination to come up with something new. So say, for example, I put
in electronic waste here. So it is showing me various
ways I can use an old laptop. This looks like a photo frame that has been
generated out of it. In this way, there
are thousands of other innovation projects
that is there in the portal. They also periodically conduct various contests there
where they ask you to come up with
innovative projects out of various problems
that they pose. So if you see here, this is one innovation project
where they have used waste cardboard
box to generate a pot, which can be used for planting. So these are the
various contests that they run here
in this platform. So this could be your thought
provoking inspiration. Now if you see here, this is a kinetic sand table
with just one motor, which will create
various patterns. This is not something which you will usually find in the market. So these are DII solutions. So how sand and art
can be generated using magnets and laser cut gears. See how they have built it. So this can inspire you
to think better ideas. Now, if you come
to this project, Origami and projection
mapping is used here. This is a three D
printed fish feeder, RC board with controller. How they have built it, they have shown end to end process. This is something
which is known as a cardboard record layer, which is a working
cardboard record player, which has been built the
components used here. So if you want to
solve any problem, you can come to this platform to spark your innovation or creativity by looking
at these inspirations. So when you go through
these various projects, it will spark ideas
in your brain which will connect with your
topic of interest, which will help
you think better. Thank you. Hi, everyone. In this video, I
want to introduce you to a tool called Storm, which is from
Stanford University. Storm is a LLM
system that writes Wikipedia like articles from scratch based on
Internet search. So Castorm is further
enhanced its feature by enabling humans to help them assist in conducting
that research. So you can come to this
platform where you can type in any subject that you want to write Wikipedia like article. So if you're participating in
an innovation competition, important for you to gain in depth knowledge about
that subject to know what is existing in this world or in the market
about that topic. So here, you can go and
create a custom article. So artificial intelligence
will search the Internet and find out more information
about it by I treti search, so it will continuously
ask questions, and it will make
notes, and finally, it will create an article. So let me create that request. So innovative methods to
reduce waste in spacecraft. You've seen previous sessions, I am formulating
this request based on innovation challenge
sometime back from NASA, where they are finding
out applications or use cases to reuse the waste in
spacecraft to reduce waste. So this is article
I have put in. I'll say start. So now what it
will do is it will search the Internet
for information. So you had to put in what is
the motive for this search. So I will say for submission for an
innovation competition. Okay, so this is
what I have put in. Now let's see how we
generate the articles. So I have already
done that. It will take around 3
minutes to do that. It will search the
Internet first of all, then it will aggregate all the information that
it has and it will use its local LLM to
organize and understand its internal knowledge
to categorize the information that
it has retrieved. So I have already
done that. And I will show you some of the
existing research also. So you can see that it started
generating that article. So if you go to
Discover you can see some topics that I
have not done it. It has been done by
people across the so you can see how the brainstorming process work behind the scenes. It will ask the questions
as a basic fact writer, as an ecommerce expert, as a legal analyst, as a
cyberssecurity and specialist, it will ask various questions. I trate it, then it will
create these articles. So these articles will have in depth knowledge
about the subject. So reading through this
will help you understand the subject better and help you come up with
better innovations. Now, if you go to discover, I can see further articles, so I'll go to my library where I have generated
that article. So if you see here,
innovative methods to reduce waste in spacecraft
encompass a range of strategies aimed at minimizing the environmental impact
and resource consumption associated with space missions. So you see the references. There are various
references that I can refer for more information. So this is tailor made for your innovation
competition or creativity. So it has categorized
various types of waste that is present
in spacecraft. So in methods for
waste reduction. So it also shows
you case studies. So this way, it will help you with your research
in identifying existing knowledge and use that to create an
innovative submission. Thank you. Hi, everyone. In this exercise, I will show you yet another
interesting tool. It's called answer Socrits. So this will help you
ask various questions. So this will discover the
questions people are asking on Google about almost
any topic for free. So the good thing about this is that you could put
any topic here. So let's say about dishwasher. There was an innovation
competition sometime back where it was asking various features and functionality
for a dishwasher. You can see the
questions that is based on location, let's say, United States, and I'm
seeing language as English. So it will show me all
the questions that is searched in the
Internet about dishwasher. So what it will help you
is that it will help you understand various
pain points that customers face with the product because those questions will be one form or the other asked in the Internet,
in the search. So here using this tool, it will categorize it based
on various questions, questions based on R, can I can. So this is preposition, comparison in the
past, how to us. So let me show you some
of these questions. This is social media questions. What's your go too method
for loading the dishwasher? So these thought
provoking questions can help you think and give a direction on how you think about a
solution to a problem. So now if you look at some of these can I dishwasher
stainless steel? So this doesn't make much sense. But if you look at
other questions, can dishwashers kill mold? Can dishwashers be hard wired? Can dishwashers
height be adjusted? So you can see that height of dishwasher is a
problem for some people. Can dishwasher start a fire? Can dishwasher and
garbage disposal. So there will be garbage that is left
out of the dishwasher. So that's a problem. Height of a dishwasher can be a problem. Mold growing in a dishwasher
can be a problem. Ports clog pipes. So pipe clogging because of
dishwasher is a problem. So if you see other problems like how to dishwasher
sanitization or dishwasher. How dishwasher detergent work? No, you see other questions like when dishwasher
isn't drained. So you have more questions here, which will give you a new direction to the
way you are thinking. So why dishwasher not draining? Why dishwasher not working? Why dishwasher
leaking from bottom. Will dishwasher kill maggots? These are some of the
questions that you see here. Now, you see prepositions. Dishwasher, cabinet box,
dishwasher, cabinet, Dishwasher with soap,
dishwasher with cutlery dry Dishwasher without heating element, dishwasher
without insulation. Now if you see comparison, dishwasher compared
to hand washing. So these questions can
help you think better. So this is one interesting
tool that you can leverage. You can download all this
information as a CSU, and it can be based
on particular country because some countries
questions also varies. So the same thing if
I asked in India, might get different set
of questions probably. So let's see once it's asking questions or
dishwashi from India, how people have
searched information. So people here are
concerned about costs. A dishwashers worth it? Are dishwasher detergent toxic. Can Indian utensils be
washed in dishwasher? So some of these
questions that you see here are relevant
to Indian market. So this will help you understand the pain points of that
particular market. So I hope this
information helps. Thank you very
much. Hi, everyone. In this exercise, I
want to introduce to a tool called Whimsical AI, which is a mi tool using
artificial intelligence. You can use artificial intelligence powered
mindmapping tool that feels like exploring a
magical forest of ideas. You can start with a
basic idea or a topic, and then you can expand
it to various ideas, branches, uh, to
nurture your idea. You can just plant a
seed, which is your idea. Then you can nurture it into a tree with various branches. So you can come here
and start idea board, so you can use some
of the idea boards that is already there,
as you can see here. I'm using a
brainstorming workshop. So if you see here, it
gives you basic direction, decide on a problem,
solo brainstorming time. Share and discuss,
group the ideas. You can vote on the
most promising idea. You can consolidate
your top ideas. So this is something
which can be shared with your friends or the people
who would like to ideate. So in this one, you can see the problem statement
has been put here. For solar brainstorming or multiple participants are there, you can put multiple
participants ideas. So this is a problem. So this
is the ideas they generate. So you can share and
group the ideas. For voting, you can move
the ideas into the voting. Then you have a timer there. Which can be used to decide
the time taken for voting. Then you can adjust the
number of votes per person. In this way, you can
brainstorm top ideas. So this is one of the features
that is available there. But more interesting
functionality is the mindmap functionality. So you can come here
and create a mile map, so I'll put it here. So now I can type
about any topic. I'll say I want to know
about microptic fibers. I'll say microptic fibers. Then I can take the help of artificial genes to
generate mine maps. So it is generating
micro optic fibers. So this is what
it has generated. Or the inflexible
strands at last, plastic that can transmit light. So this is the information
I get it from here. Now, if I want to get
applications of this, I'll come here and say
applications in healthcare. Now, if I do that, I can see various use cases of
this in healthcare, endoscopy, laser surgery, medical imaging,
phototherapy, senses. Now from here, if
I come and say, instead of healthcare
applications in ID. So let me generate the ideas. Information technology,
what is the use case, medical imaging devices,
telecommunication network, industrial sensing and
monitoring systems. So you see here how the basic topic was drilled down to various
further topics. In this way, I can
create a mind map. I can also create
various flow diagrams and flow charts using this tool. If you go to the starter guide, I can see whimsical diagrams. So these diagrams can be generated using these
tools. This is mine maps. This is flow chart.
So you can use combination of AI to
generate these flow charts. If you come here, you also
have whimsical wire frames, which is very useful if you want to generate UIUX screens. So this is the
mobile wire frames. This is landing page wireframes. Here also I can
use assistance of artificial intelligence
to generate some of these wire frames. So as I zoom in, it will expand and
now I can create. So this tool can be leveraged
for your ideation process. Using artificial engines, you
can think out better ideas. I hope it is useful. Thank you. Notice how AI not only delivers creative suggestions but also inspire you to build on them. Now it's your turn for
an hands on activity. Choose one of the challenges
you identified earlier. And use an AI tool
like hat J PT or any tool that I
have covered here to brainstorm
potencial solutions. Take a few minutes to explore
the ideas it generates, reflect on which ideas
resonate with you and why. Could any of these be
the foundation for a submission to a Hackathon
or innovation competition? Creativity isn't just
about inspiration. It's about having
the right tools and framework to transform
challenges into opportunities. AI is one of the most powerful
tools at your disposal, acting as a catalyst for
innovative thinking. In this module, we have explored creative problem
solving frameworks, leverage AI for idea generation, and practice using AI to
brainstorm solutions. In the next module, we
will type deeper into refining ideas and combining human ingenuity with
AI capabilities. Until then, keep experimenting
with AI tools and embrace the endless possibility of your creativity. Thank you.
3. Refining ideas for impact Module 2: Yan. Welcome to Module two, Refining ideas for impact. In this session,
we will move from raw brainstorming to crafting polished competitionary
solutions. Often it's just the idea itself, but how you refine and present it that determines the success. By focusing on the
characteristics of winning ideas and using AI driven
tools for enhancement, you will learn how to transform initial concepts into
impactful submissions. So let's dive in What makes an idea winner in an
innovation competition? Boils down to four essential
pillars Originality, feasibility,
scalability, and impact. Originality ensures
your idea stands out by addressing a unique problem or offering an
unconventional solution. Feasibility focuses on
whether your idea can be realistically implemented with available resources
and technology. Scalability evaluates how
well your solution can grow and adapt to larger
context or different markets. Impact considers the potential to create meaningful change, whether it's
improving your lives, driving efficiency, or
solving a critical issue. Let's look at a
real world example. A past Hackathon winner proposed a solution to
reduce food waste by using AI powered smart bins that identify discarded items, track waste, trends, and suggest personalized
recipes to use leftovers. This idea excelled
in all four pillars. It was innovative,
technologically viable, scalable to homes
and restaurants, and had a tangible impact
on sustainability. Moment to assess your own
idea against these pillars. Which areas are its strengths? Where does it need improvement? This clarity will guide
the refinement process. Now that we have covered the
traits of winning ideas, let's refine your concept
with the help of AI. Tools like notion AI, CGPT and others can enhance clarity, feasibility
and presentation. These tools aren't just
about automating tasks. They are your creative partners, helping you identify blind
spots and sharpen your pitch. For instance, suppose
your initial idea is a community app to share
and borrow tools locally. Using waste and
promoting collaboration. Using AI, you can
refine this by asking, What are potential challenges
in implementing this idea? And how can I address them? That GPD might suggest
concerns like user trust and proposed solutions such as rating system or secure
payment options. So by knowing
challenges, early on, you can address the shortcomings
or plug in the gaps, making your submission stronger. It will help you
prepare the answers for those difficult questions. You can ask a GPT what are
the similar ideas accessing the market and how your idea can be differentiated
and help add value. This will help you craft a
great value proposition. You can visualize
your ideas by using Mr journey and other
tools to quickly generate a base image and using
Photoshop or tools like Canva to edit and customize it to better
represent your idea. Can pick famous innovators
like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk and Ask Sat GPT to evaluate your ideas as you
wear that personality. Let us say your idea
was in technology. Then if you have chosen
Steve Jobs as your persona, then your solution will be evaluated on core
principles of Apple, like simplicity, elegance
and human centric design. It was Elon Musk,
your idea will be evaluated based on
long term visions, technology, breakthrough,
boldness in execution and all. It would be great to
get feedback from the perspective of
such visionaries. Tools like GPT can also
help you come with KPIs for your ideas and quantify your
solution numerically, we showcase your idea as well thought out
idea with clarity. It's time for you to
refine your own idea. Start by opening an AI tool
like Chat GPT or Ocean AI. Think about your idea
from Module one and ask the AI specific
questions to enhance it. For example, what features can make my idea more user friendly? What potential
barriers might I face, and how can I overcome them? How can I make my idea scalable? Take the AI
suggestions and refine your idea into a more detailed
competion ready version. Don't forget to
document your process. What questions did you ask? What insights did
that AI provide? How did those insights
improve your idea? Refinement is very good for
ideas to become grade ones. By evaluating your
concepts against the four pillars and
leveraging AI driven insights, you can transform your
initial brainstorming into a compelling and
impactful solution. In our next session, we will focus on effectively
presenting and pitching your refined idea to maximize its appeal
in any competition. For now, keep refining and
documenting your progress. It's all about this and small part of your journey to innovation success. Thank you
4. Building a winning submission Module 3: Hi, everyone. Welcome
to Module three, building a winning submission. In this session,
we will focus on how to structure your
submission for maximum impact. A well structured submission not only communicates your
idea effectively, but also demonstrate
its potential to judges and stakeholders. By understanding key elements, leveraging AI for
research and prototyping, and applying
practical techniques, you will craft
submissions that stand out in any innovation
competition. First part is structuring
submissions effectively. A winning submission revolves
around three core elements, problem statement,
clearly define the challenge your
idea addresses. This is the stage and shows you have deeply
understood the issue. Avoid generic language, be
specific and compelling. For instance, instead of saying
food waste is a problem, state in the US over 30% of
food is wasted annually, costing billions and contributing
to environmental harm. Second is proposed solution, present your idea as the
answer to the problem. B concise, but
highlight how it works, its uniqueness and
its advantages. For example, our AI
powered app connects local restaurants
with surplus food to shelters in real time, reducing waste and
helping those in need. Third is potential impact, showcase the broader
implications. Just want to know why
behind your idea. Quantify your impact
wherever possible, mention metrics like potential
to save 10,000 meals per month or reduce waste by
25% in participating areas. Crafting and engaging narrative, ties these elements together. Don't just list facts, tell a story, start
with the problem, introduce your solution as
a hero that saves the day, and conclude with the
change it can bring. A well told story captures attention and helps judges connect emotionally
with your idea. AI tools can take
your submission to the next level by
enhancing research, creating visuals, and
even prototyping. Let's explore how
research I will show you use tools like GPT to refine
your problem statement, ask questions like, what are
the latest statistics on this issue or what solutions
have been tried before? And why did they fail? This adds depth and credibility
to your submission. Visual and prototyping
is the next one. Tools like Canva or Figma are excellent for
creating diagrams, wireframes or mockup example, you can quickly design a user interface concept
for your app or create an infographic showing the problems scale and
your solutions impact. Let's say your idea
is an app to improve recycling habits using FIGMA, you can create a
simple wireframe showing the app's
key features like scanning tool to
identify a recyclables and a reward system for
frequent recyclers. Or use scans to design compelling infographic
comparing recycling rates before and after using the app. Incorporating visuals, you not only make your
submission more engaging, but also help judges visualize practical
implementation of your idea. Another interesting
thing you can do is, if you have access to
winning submissions from the previous challenges for the same innovation competition, then you can input it into
tool like aji pity and take out the positive out of it and incorporate it in your idea. Z our create outline of a winning submission for
a hypothetical challenge. Choose a common problem
such as reducing traffic congestion and structure your submission around
three key elements. Write a clear end specific
problem statement, develop a concise description
of your proposed solution, highlight the potential impact with metrics or
tangible benefits. Use AI tools to enhance
your submission. For instance, ask AGPT to help refine your narrative or
generate diagrams using Canva. Document your
process, noting how AI tools contributed to
shaping your submission. A great idea needs an equally
great presentation to shine by mastering that of
structuring your submission, leveraging AI tools for
research and visuals, and crafting a
compelling narrative, you will position yourself as a strong contender in any
innovation competition. Keep practicing, and
in the next session, we will explore how
to picture submission for maximum effect.
Thank you very much.
5. Pitching and presenting your ideas Module 4: Yvon. Welcome to Module four, pitching and
presenting your ideas. In this session, we will
focus on transforming our innovative ideas into compelling presentations that
captivate your audience. A strong pitch is not just
about sharing an idea. It's about persuading your
audience to believe in it, support it, and act on it. Through proven techniques
and AINNs tools, you will learn to
pitch like a P. Great pitch simplifies even
the most complex ideas, making them accessible and
impactful for any audience. To achieve this, follow the
rule of three. First is hook. Start with a compelling
hook to grab the attention. This could be a
startling statistics, a redtable story or
a powerful question. For example, did you
know that over 40% of startups fail because they solve problems no
one cares about? Second is core idea, present a solution concisely. Avoid jar and focus on what makes your
idea unique and valuable. For instance, our app
uses AI to analyze local traffic patterns and suggest eco friendly
transport alternatives, reducing commute time
and carbon footprint. Third could be impact, concluded with the potential
change your idea can create. Use metrics or vivid imagery, say something like with
just 10,000 users, we can cut urban CO two
emissions by 15% within a year. When structuring your pitch, remember clarity and
passion are key, whether you are
addressing the judges, investors or stakeholders. The goal is to make
them understand, remember, and believe
in your idea. Tools can transform how you design and deliver
your presentations. Tools like Beautiful AI or Canva allow you to create visually stunning
slides effortlessly. Beautiful AI automates
slide formatting, ensuring clean
professional designs that align with your content. Canva offers
customizable templates and graphics to make your
slides visually engaging. Let's create a slide for
our earlier example. Graphic reducing app.
In beautiful AI, we can design a slide showing a comparison of urban CO
two emissions before and after app aductiUsing
AI generated visuals and consigns text
to emphasize impact. In just a few clicks, the
slide is presentation ready. Incorporate visuals that tells a story instead of
overwhelming test, use infographics, icons or charts that make your
data easy to digest. This keeps your audience engaged and help them
retain information. Once you have presentation, whether it is your
business presentation, school presentation. It is
all about your delivery. Many of you may not be aware

Power tools that will help you master your final
sales pitch and have answers to all the questions
at your fingertip. AI role play is an
innovative technique for practicing and
presenting your pitch, especially useful for
preparing to handle difficult questions in
high stake situations. By engaging with
an AI designed to simulate a range of customer
or stakeholder responses, you can hone your
communication skills and refine your message. Are various platforms that offer such services for pictures
like virtual speech. You should do some
research on this, as there are a lot of
developments happening on a daily basis in this space. And it is hard for me
to suggest what is best because by the time
you access this class, it may not be relevant and
something better might have already come out. But
the idea remains the same. The AI can be programmed to
ask challenging questions, offer objections or present common concerns that you might face in real world interactions. This practice helps
you develop confident, well triculated responses,
making you better equipped to address any potential issues or hesitations from
your audience. Moreover, AI roleplay
offers the advantage of providing instant feedback and suggestions for improvement. After a simulated interaction, the AI can analyze
your responses, highlighting areas
where you might need more clarity or a
stronger argument. This iterative process allow you to continually
improve your pitch, ensuring that you can handle even the most
difficult questions with ease and professionalism. By using AI roleplay, you can build a more persuasive and resilent presentation. Ultimately increase your chances of success in real
world scenarios. Now it's time to put
tear into practice. Record a 1 minute pitch

simple recording tool structure your pitch
around the rule of tree, hook, core idea, and impact. Once they recorded, you pitch
using peer or AI feedback, AI tools like descript canonize your video
by polishing audio, editing out filler words, or even adjusting the paysp. Alternatively, ask a peer to review and suggest
improvements. Iterate until your pitch feels natural, clear
and compelling. Mastering the art of pitching
combines storytelling, clarity and the
strategic use of tools. By crafting a strong narrative, designing visually
impactful presentation, and iterating on feedback, you'll not only
capture attention, but also inspire action. Keep practicing your
pitch is one of the most valuable skills for
driving innovation forward. With what we have come to
