Summary
For three weeks I worked with a team of 4 of my fellow Break Through Tech students at Google Cloud to develop a tool that solves a local Colorado problem and implements generative AI. The result was Prompt Coach.
Development
As a group we came up with ten ideas that we could design a solution for. We settled on the final idea after some research and whiteboarding: tech illiteracy among populations that are not exposed to new tech as much.
We created a research document and each took on a different topic to research for 15 minutes. My research was focused on AI illiteracy among seniors. I created two pages of research notes and presented them to our project group.
Next we designed the basic user flow of the system and moved it to figma. This was our first design and initial prototype that we started to build our final product off of.
I worked with my teammates to build out the front end and UI of the Prompt Coach. After a while, we were not the most happy with the design and so we did a quick sketch to reframe what we wanted the product to look like.
After we got the product working how we wanted it, I prepared a business pitch presentation to show to our mentors, hosts, and Break Through Tech fellows. As a group we delivered an hour long presentation and demo.
