Run a community for 7 days — engagement is the metric
Community management is a real, hired role — and it’s harder than posting. Take a group you have access to (class WhatsApp, club Discord, a study group you start), plan daily prompts with AI, and run it for 7 days — replies, energy, honest engagement numbers.

The work brief
- 01Pick or create a group with at least 10 real members and a reason to exist. Tell them you’re running a 7-day experiment.
- 02Plan 7 daily prompts with AI’s help — questions, polls, challenges, useful shares — then tune each one to your group’s actual vibe.
- 03Post daily and reply to every response within a few hours. Note what each format earns.
- 04Track daily numbers (responses, unique participants) and finish with what you’d do differently in week 2.
What you’ll produce
Submission standard
Submit the community, your 7-day log with real numbers, a screenshot of your best-performing day, and the retrospective. Also include your AI workflow — tools, best prompts, and what you changed from the AI’s output. Include a second dated screenshot from a different day, and let your log show the flops and quiet days honestly — not a smooth invented week.
The group: what it is, member count, why it exists
Short answerRequiredThe 7-day log: each day’s prompt, responses count, unique participants, what you learned
Date every day’s entry; report responses and unique participants honestly, including the quiet/flop days.
Written responseRequiredScreenshot of your best-performing prompt and its responses (blur names)
Must show a visible date (blur names). This is your best-performing day.
Image uploadRequiredRetrospective: which formats worked, which flopped, your week-2 plan
Written responseRequired
You’ll complete these inside your private workspace.
What you must submit as proof
This brief requires evidence an AI can’t fabricate.
A second dated screenshot from a DIFFERENT day (blur all member names)
Must show a different visible date from your best-day screenshot, evidencing a real multi-day run. Blur every member name, avatar, and number first — the date and the activity are what we grade.
Image uploadRequired
Submissions without this evidence cannot be submitted.
Protect other people in your proof. Blur faces, names, phone numbers and email addresses before you upload, and refer to anyone you worked with by role or number ("Listener 1", "the stall owner"). Your proof is only ever used to check your work — it is never published, never appears on your certificate, and is never shown in your public portfolio.
How your work is evaluated
The passing benchmark is 70/100.
Really ran 7 days
29%The log shows 7 real days of posts and responses in a real group.
Engagement craft
29%Prompts are varied and fitted to the group; replies keep threads alive.
Data-led retro
14%The retrospective uses the daily numbers honestly.
Real 7-day run
29%The two screenshots carry different real dates and the log shows genuine ups and downs (flops, uneven participation). If the dates aren’t distinct or the log is flat/invented, this criterion is a fail regardless of the retro’s quality.
How we grade your AI usage
Using AI is the point — it’s the skill this certificate proves. You’ll answer three short questions about how you used it: what you asked, what was wrong with its first answer, and what you changed. Specific, honest answers score high. “I pasted the brief and submitted the answer” scores near zero.
