How to Innovate using AI assistants?
Sobre
In this activity, you’ll learn how to use AI assistants to support ideation, problem-solving, content creation, and innovation planning. When used thoughtfully, AI can help speed up workflows, offer new perspectives, and even act as a “critical friend.”
This activity is about exploring what AI can do—and reflecting on where it helps, where it doesn’t, and how to use it ethically and creatively in the field of youth work.
AI landscape is changing rapidly

How Large Language Model function?
Would you like to dig deeper and get some nerdy details about the way LLMs - Large Language Models (like ChatGPT and others) work when you make a prompt? Then watch this video, where of course AI was used for a deep fake of Ryan Gossling explaining things in a rather understandable manner.

How to formulate good prompts to a generative AI tool?
- Start from a clear task: Clearly state what you're asking or looking for. Specific prompts lead to more accurate and useful responses.
- Include context: If your question or request builds on previous information or is about a specific topic, include that context in your prompt.
- Specify the desired tone: If you have a specific tone in mind, such as professional, casual, or humorous, state this at the beginning of your prompt. This helps set expectations for the style of the response.
- Identify the target audience: Start by clearly identifying the target audience for your content. This could be based on age (e.g., children, teenagers, adults), profession (e.g., scientists, educators, business professionals), level of expertise (e.g., beginners, intermediates, experts), or interest group (e.g., enthusiasts).
- Set format of the output: If you have a particular format or detail level in mind (like a summary, a list, a table, or a detailed explanation), mention it in your prompt.
- Specify content limitations: Clearly state any restrictions related to the content of the response, such as avoiding technical jargon, excluding certain topics, or focusing only on specific aspects of a broader subject.

Some additional Pro trips:
- Experiment with variations. Try different ways of phrasing your prompt to see how slight changes can impact the responses. This can help you understand how the model interprets various cues.
- Specify the desired detail level. Indicate whether you want a brief overview or a detailed exploration to guide the depth of the response.
- Ask one thing at a time: To get the best answers, ask about one topic or question per prompt. This keeps the focus clear and the response relevant.
- Define the persona: If you want the tool to respond in the manner of a specific persona, such as a scientist, a teacher, or a fictional character, clearly describe this persona. Include any relevant traits or characteristics that should influence the responses.
- Ask your AI tool to help you: Ask your AI tool to help you to prepare a good prompt leading to the results you wish to have.

I earned this badge by exploring how generative AI tools can support creativity and innovation in youth work. I tested prompts, compared ideas, and reflected on how technology can enhance or challenge our thinking. I showed openness to experimenting with new tools and considered how to use them ethically and effectively in developing solutions.
This badge is part of the KA2 Cooperation Partnership project Learn INN, supported by the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme.
