I liked how the simulation showed a realistic way to use AI as a daily workplace partner. It was highly practical to see how a non-developer can use smart prompting to quickly research a presentation, debug broken code, and test it locally. The exercise perfectly demonstrated how AI can boost productivity and help bridge technical knowledge gaps on the job.

I really enjoyed the hands-on, scenario-based approach because it effectively mirrored authentic workplace tasks rather than feeling purely theoretical. Combining practical execution, such as presentation design and HTML debugging, with real-time AI collaboration provided a clear view of how modern digital workflows can be streamlined.

It gave me a realistic scope of the kind of work I would be doing if I got an opportunity to work with Datacom. It was really helpful and I have been able to pick up a few skills along the way; How to prompt AI, how to guide AI to get the correct end result, how to create slide presentations using AI and how to do research using AI
