Created a 5-level Tense Master app in Poe: Used a teacher-created one as example and Had Poe write the prompt for me.

 1. I first came across the following Tense Master app created in Poe by a teacher:

2. Inside each level, there are 3 Practice Formats: 


3. Hence, the overall design of this app is quite sophisticated. I wondered if I could create a similar one in Poe. But how to write the prompt was a big issue, and could be very time-consuming. 

4. I turned to Poe,  and asked if I provided it with the share link (preview link), would it be able to write the prompt for me. 

5. It asked me to provide the share link. Then it said it could not access the preview link app content. It then asked me for some details, and in particular SOME SCREEN SHOTS. 

6. I simply too 4 screenshots, in sequence if one is to use the app. 

7. Poe then wrote a very lengthy prompt. 

8. I copied the prompt, and pasted it into App Creator. 

9. It worked, though it took quite a long time for App Creator to finish the task.

TAKEAWAYS

1. Though I have yet to check out the content, the resulting app looks good. 

2. This experience shows that if I come across another elaborate canvas app, but do not wish to spend a lot of time figuring out the prompt, I can (a) describe my needs, and (b) attach some screenshots of the original app, and ask a chatbot to write the prompt for me. THIS WILL SAVE A LOT OF TIME.

Created a poem from a picture using Gemini: It did a super job

  昨天黃昏post了東涌日落我拍的照片,跟著Francis Tsang 提議我請AI 為之寫詩;這主意從未想過,於是立指打開Gemini, 上傳那照片,寫了一個簡單的prompt, 請它寫一首詩。 不用10秒,詩出現眼前,而且真的配合照片內容,連照片內細小的cable car ...
