Day 2 · Block 6
E12 - Writing + syndication sprint
- In VS Code (or similar), draft about a third of a page on your current research agenda with AI support.
- Try one workflow: bullet outline -> AI draft -> your manual edit.
- Try one workflow: voice-to-text dictation -> AI cleanup/edit.
- Compare which workflow feels more natural and where quality improves or degrades.
- Optional extension: choose one completed/older project and ask an AI agent to scaffold a simple research website repository (e.g. with Astro).
Inputs
- Current research agenda notes
- Bullet-to-draft and voice-to-text workflow options
- Optional older project/paper for website scaffold
Deliverable
half-page agenda draft + workflow reflection note + optional website scaffold evidence.
Target
Draft about one-third of a page on your current research agenda using AI-assisted writing workflows.
