Complete one small decision at a time

This is a no-code design project. You can complete it directly on this page or create your own one-page canvas in a document application.

01

Choose where to work

Use the editable fields on this page for the simplest route. You may instead use Word, Google Docs, PowerPoint, Canva or paper.

02

Create a project folder

Create a folder named project-01-ai-solution-canvas. Keep your canvas, flow diagram and final explanation inside it.

03

Download the optional worksheet

Select Download Worksheet in the hero. Save the PDF inside your project folder and open it in your browser or a PDF reader. You can print it to complete the worksheet by hand.

Download the worked example (PDF) to compare the structure with your own independently designed solution.

04

Follow the five steps in order

Write your own answers before comparing them with the examples. Examples demonstrate the format; they are not answers to copy.

05

Save evidence and mark progress

Mark a checkpoint only after completing its output. Finish the final checklist and keep one copy of your completed canvas for your portfolio.

No installation required

This project works on any computer or mobile device. If you use the online fields, answers are stored only in the current browser, so also copy your final work into a document you control.

A one-page Ai solution

Design a simple Ai solution without coding. Choose a real problem and clearly define its:

UserProblemInputsAi taskOutputHuman roleRisksValue
Ai problem framingAi system thinkingInput and output designSelecting an Ai methodResponsible Ai basicsDefining business value
LevelBeginner
CodingNone
Time45–60 minutes
SoftwareDocs, slides, Canva or paper
ComputerAny computer or mobile device

Create your solution canvas

Write short, clear answers. You are designing the solution—not building software yet.

Step 01

Choose a problem

Describe one user, one specific difficulty and one result.

Use this format[User] has difficulty with [specific task], causing [negative result].
Example

Beginner Ai learners have difficulty selecting the correct next lesson, causing confusion and slow progress.

Step 02

Define the user and goal

State who needs help and what successful help looks like.

User example

Beginner Ai learner

Goal example

Receive a suitable next-lesson recommendation.

Step 03

Define the solution

Connect the problem, information, Ai task, result and human control.

Step 04

Select the method

Choose the simplest method that can solve the problem.

Choose one method
Example

Use a Rule-Based System first because the learning pathway follows clear rules.

Step 05

Add risk and value

Show how the solution helps people and how important risks will be controlled.

Possible risks
  • Incorrect recommendation
  • Incomplete user information
  • Privacy problems
  • Too much dependence on the system
Controls
  • Explain the recommendation
  • Let the user reject it
  • Collect only necessary information
  • Allow instructor review
Expected value
  • Faster lesson selection
  • Clearer learning pathway
  • Reduced learner confusion

Portfolio explanation

I designed an Ai solution for beginner learners who have difficulty selecting their next lesson. The solution uses learner progress and goals to recommend a suitable lesson. I defined the inputs, output, human controls, risks and expected value before beginning development.
