Creating a Whiteboard Sketch with AI
I love this whiteboard sketch which tells you a bit more about me and what I do. It was generated very quickly and simply using this great prompt in Copilot.
It's a WorkIQ Persona Sketch prompt which is designed to help you better understand and visualise your work. It helps you build a practical persona sketch from your recent work patterns so you can understand how you spend time, collaborate, and where your focus is strongest.
"Create a photorealistic image in a clean cartoon whiteboard sketch style that visualises my work life. Include what I do, who I work with, my role, my values and what's important to me. I've attached a headshot so you can guide the sketch of me at the centre. Ground your research in Work IQ and the public profile for me on LinkedIn. The graphic should be rich in information. For any avatars of the people I work with, avoid guessing and put a generic icon in place or find their actual profile pictures."
Give it a go and let me know if you agree with the output.
