Case challenges

Three complete AI business cases

These are modeled after case-study learning: read the situation, identify the customer and value, decide what AI should do, and translate the lesson into a student-sized product.

Case 1

Klarna-style AI support for a local business

Situation

A local pizza shop misses calls during dinner rush. Customers ask the same questions about hours, delivery zones, allergens, coupons, and order status. The owner cannot afford a full-time receptionist.

Business logic

AI creates value when it handles repeated, low-risk questions quickly while sending sensitive or unusual issues to a human.

Student output

Case 2

Duolingo-style AI coach for skill practice

Situation

A student wants to practice Spanish conversation, but friends are unavailable and classroom time is limited. AI can simulate scenarios, correct mistakes, and explain why an answer works.

Business logic

AI becomes valuable when it gives personalized practice at the exact moment a learner needs feedback.

Student output

Case 3

Canva-style AI design kit for a school club

Situation

A school club needs posters, social posts, sign-up forms, and announcement graphics, but nobody on the team is a trained designer. AI can speed up drafts and templates.

Business logic

AI creates value by lowering the skill barrier and making a repeated creative job faster, more consistent, and easier to hand off.

Student output

Family AI Lab

Find your first real problem at home

Your family is your first test group, not your final market. Use this sprint to practice observing, interviewing, building, testing, and improving.

First paid launch plan

Turn one tested idea into a tiny offer

Keep it small. A first offer can be a template, content pack, setup service, AI workflow, mini website, or simple digital tool.

1. Customer

Name one specific customer group you can reach this week.

2. Problem

Describe one painful or repeated problem in one sentence.

3. Offer

What exactly will you deliver, and what result should it create?

4. Price

Choose a beginner-safe price and explain why it is fair.

5. Proof

What sample, screenshot, demo, or before/after can you show?

6. Outreach

Write a short, respectful message to one potential user.

What is included

List exactly what the buyer receives.

What is not included

Protect trust by naming limits clearly.

First outreach message
