🎇 AI Dash #3 – Spark Your AI Edge

👋 Hi Dashed,

Hope you’re recharging (or building) today!
In this issue, you’ll get a Microsoft AI tool for instant lesson creation, a solopreneur-friendly agent workflow, and a Perplexity news byte worth noting if you’re tracking premium AI trends. All skimmable, all actionable—let’s dive in. ⚡️

Microsoft Learning Zone – AI-powered lesson creator
What it does: Enables educators to build personalized, interactive learning experiences—complete with quizzes and games—directly from their Copilot+ PC, integrating tools like Kahoot! and OpenStax.
Why it matters: Empowers teachers to save prep time while boosting student engagement—an example of how generative AI can streamline content creation in education.
How to use it:

1. Open Learning Zone on Copilot+ PC (public preview launching this summer).

2. Input lesson topic and objectives.

3. Customize with quizzes or interactive games.

Mini Workflow

“Solopreneur AI Agent Setup” – Automate your solo business with smart assistants
Step 1: Choose a core AI agent (e.g., ChatGPT + Google Gemini via AI Studio) to handle writing, research, or customer support.
Step 2: Connect it to tools—e.g., Notion for knowledge, Trello for project tracking, Zapier for automation—to build a “virtual team”.
Step 3: Launch micro‑tasks: blog posts, social captions, invoices—letting the AI work in the background while you focus on strategy.
Why this is useful: Maximizes output with minimal effort. Many solopreneurs report AI saving them hours per day by offloading routine tasks.
