Technology Tools Diary Day 1

Welcome onboard!

Hello and thank you so much for joining us! We’re really excited to have you on board. Over the next two and a half weeks, we’ll be learning from your experiences with AI tools: how you use them, what works well, and what doesn’t. Your voice is central to this project, and everything you share will make a real difference.

Quick overview

As you know, we're trying to speak with young people in India to understand how they use different AI tools for topics of personal interest- whether it’s food, fitness, shopping, media, or something else. We want to gather your perspectives, experiences, and feedback, because everything you share is valuable to us. There are no right or wrong answers. We’re not testing you, we’re learning from you.

How it works:

- Daily tasks will take about 15–20 minutes. They are short but reflective, so please do them when you can give them a bit of focus.

- Some tasks may ask you to share: a past AI chat (screenshot or short clip), quick reflection on what you did after that AI interaction, what you found useful or frustrating.

- Along the way, we’ll also do a couple of interviews where we go deeper into what you’ve shared.

Think of it like keeping a small journal about your tech use.

A few important things to note:

- Be yourself: We want your real perspectives, not polished answers. There are no right or wrong responses. We want you to know there are no right or wrong answers. All we're looking for is your own honest experience and perspective as you respond to the tasks.

- Do not use AI to write any of your diary entries or answers: While we want to know how you use AI, your diary responses must be written by you. If we detect AI-written entries, you’ll unfortunately forfeit your incentive and participation.

- Your data is safe: Everything you share will be kept confidential and anonymised. No names, no identifiers, just your insights.

- Screenshots & recordings: Share only what feels comfortable. If something personal shows up, feel free to crop or blur it before sending.
