Capstone

Ship something real

Solve one real problem from your own life or work using at least three capabilities from the week.

Use at least three of these

The point is to combine what you learned, not to use everything. Pick the three (or more) that fit your problem.

A well-engineered prompt or custom system prompt
A multimodal element (image, video, audio, or speech-to-text)
A RAG / personal knowledge base
An agent or automation flow
Multi-language support
A privacy/security measure (safe key handling or a locally self-hosted model)

Deliverable

A short working demo plus a one-page write-up: what problem, which tools, what you learned, what you'd do next.

Example projects

  • ·A 'chat with my documents' research assistant
  • ·A multilingual customer-reply automation
  • ·A private local assistant that never touches the cloud
  • ·An AI-narrated explainer video
  • ·An automated weekly-report generator

How your peers evaluate it
