Skills in organizing information and using AI for writing reports and presentations are valuable in roles like project management, marketing, and business analysis.

1

Create a list of key project points

Create a list called project_points with these exact entries: 'Project started in January', 'Team of 5 members', 'Completed initial research phase', 'Budget was under control', 'Next phase starts in July'.

# Create the list project_points with the given entries
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use square brackets to create a list and include all points as strings.

2

Add a summary length setting

Create a variable called summary_length and set it to the integer 3 to control how many points the AI will summarize.

AI for Everyone

project_points = [
    'Project started in January',
    'Team of 5 members',
    'Completed initial research phase',
    'Budget was under control',
    'Next phase starts in July'
]
# Create the variable summary_length and set it to 3
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Just assign the number 3 to the variable summary_length.

3

Generate a report summary using AI

Create a variable called report_summary and set it to a string that joins the first summary_length items from project_points separated by semicolons and spaces.

AI for Everyone

project_points = [
    'Project started in January',
    'Team of 5 members',
    'Completed initial research phase',
    'Budget was under control',
    'Next phase starts in July'
]
summary_length = 3
# Create report_summary by joining the first summary_length points with '; '
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use slicing to get the first summary_length items and join them with '; '.

4

Create a presentation outline from the summary

Create a list called presentation_outline by splitting report_summary at each semicolon and stripping any extra spaces from each item.

AI for Everyone

project_points = [
    'Project started in January',
    'Team of 5 members',
    'Completed initial research phase',
    'Budget was under control',
    'Next phase starts in July'
]
summary_length = 3
report_summary = '; '.join(project_points[:summary_length])
# Create presentation_outline by splitting report_summary and stripping spaces
# Your code here

Use a list comprehension to split and clean each point.
