the Dots

"The magic isn't in any single tool. It's in knowing which ones belong together."

🎯 What you'll learn

In this Beacon, you won't learn a new tool.

You already have everything you need.

Instead, you'll put it all together.

You'll take one small, real-life project β€” and use the tools you've met throughout this course to bring it to life, step by step.

By the end, you'll see how AI tools don't just work alone β€” they work together.

πŸ“Œ What kind of project?

Imagine you want to create a short personal newsletter β€” something you could send to friends, share online, or just keep for yourself.

Here's what goes into it:

  • A short written intro (your words, AI-polished)
  • An image that matches your topic
  • A short AI-generated audio clip β€” like a spoken intro

That's three tools. Three skills. One project.

πŸ“Œ The tools you'll use

You've already met all of them:

✍️ Text β†’ Gemini, ChatGPT or Claude

🎨 Image β†’ Leonardo AI or any image tool from the course

πŸ”Š Audio β†’ ElevenLabs

No new sign-ups. No new interfaces. Just tools you already know.

πŸ§ͺ Try it now

You'll build your mini-newsletter in three steps. Take your time β€” there's no rush.

1
Write your intro

Pick a topic that feels personal to you. Here are some ideas:

  • Something I learned this month
  • A place I'd love to visit
  • A book or film that stuck with me
  • My morning routine
  • A small win I'm proud of
  • A skill I want to learn
  • How I use technology in daily life

"Open your favourite AI writing tool from the course and paste this prompt…”

Ready-made prompt
Write a short, warm newsletter intro (around 80 words) on this topic: [your topic]. Friendly tone, like writing to a friend. First person.

Copy the result. You'll use it in Step 3.

2
Create your image (Leonardo AI)

Go to https://app.leonardo.ai

Use this ready-made prompt β€” or adapt it to match your topic:

Ready-made prompt
A warm, editorial-style illustration for a personal newsletter about [your topic]. Soft colors, cozy atmosphere, no text.

Download the image when you're happy with it.

3
Record your audio intro (ElevenLabs)

Go to https://elevenlabs.io

Paste the text you got from Step 1 into the text box.

Choose a voice you like, then click Generate.

Listen back. Does it sound like something you'd actually want to hear?

If yes β€” you're done. βœ…

Screens and menus may look slightly different β€” that's normal. Just explore and you'll find your way. 😊

👀 What to notice

Look at what you just made.

You started with an idea β€” and ended up with a piece of writing, a visual, and a voice.

Each tool did one thing. But together, they made something complete.

Notice how the tools didn't fight each other β€” the text fed the audio, the topic shaped the image. That's not a coincidence. That's what it looks like when you're in control.

The bigger insight: you were the creative director the whole time.

πŸ’‘ Good to know

This kind of "AI workflow" β€” where one tool's output becomes another tool's input β€” is how a lot of real creative work gets done today.

You don't need to use every tool every time. Some projects only need one. Some need three.

The point is: you now know how to choose.

βœ… Beacon complete

You just connected the dots. πŸ”—

That wasn't just an exercise β€” it was a real creative project, made with real tools, by you.

One Beacon left.

In Beacon 30 – Who are you now?, we'll look back at everything you've done β€” and you'll draw your own personal AI map.

No rush. Come back whenever you're ready. 🙂
