**AI for Social Media**

This week in this AI Innovation Corner we’re going to be exploring using AI
for helping you take the first steps that every *FIRST* Tech Challenge team
needs to do, which is to increase your team’s social media presence.
Specifically, we’re going to focus on social media campaigns and team
marketing, which can be a critical step to increase the visibility of your
team in the community. This can help you with recruitment of team members
and mentors, spreading awareness of yourselves and *FIRST*, and is one great
step towards helping you with fundraising (which we’ll cover in more detail
in a future article).

If you’ve never started a social media campaign for a *FIRST* Tech Challenge
team, you might have some ideas about how to get started but you need some
direction and some more “concrete” examples pertaining to where to start,
what to create content about, and even where to post/host your content.
Gemini can be a great start in your brainstorming process. This simple
prompt can yield loads of valuable feedback:

* *I have a high school FIRST Tech Challenge Team. What are things I need to
consider when starting my first social media campaign?*

Once you’ve got a presence and start working through content, through social
media you’ll engage with lots of folks. It can sometimes be difficult to
find the right way to interact with the community at large, and responders
who love (or are critical of) your content. AI to the rescue! AI can help
you find different ways of interacting - though remember the ultimate
responsibility on what to post is up to you, AI should only be used as a
means of brainstorming and/or refining what you want to say.

* *Write a friendly, one-sentence response to the following social media
comment that shows appreciation for the comment and encourages the user to
turn on post notifications for more content from our FIRST Tech Challenge
team.*

Can’t think of prompts to ask/use, or are you looking for some inspiration?
AI can help you there as well. You can ask AI to help you with building AI
prompts (asking the AI what to ask the AI is a pro tip!), brainstorming ways
to use AI for social media, and ways to accentuate what you do on social
media. Be sure to keep “ *FIRST* Tech Challenge ” in your prompts so that the AI
relates what you’re asking it to the competition so that the suggestions it
makes are relevant to your team and your activities.

* *Can you tell me some common AI prompts for generating social media posts
for my FIRST Tech Challenge team?*

Finally, it’s important to track your social media progress in order to
determine what’s going well, optimize your strategy for content in the
future, and determining where you’re getting the most “bang” for your
content-production “buck.” We can use the following prompt to ask AI to give
us some tips on the best ways to track our online footprint:

* *How can I track my team's progress on social media?*

Remember, social media is a marathon, not a race. It requires careful
planning, continuous improvement, consistency in creating content, and the
desire to build your team’s brand. Hard work and determination can pay off,
and AI can help guide you along the way!
