- Broad access: o1 is available today for Plus and Team users via the model selector, with Enterprise and Education users gaining access next week.
These advancements make o1 a versatile tool for professionals across various industries.
The Challenge: Drafting an Adobe Analytics SDR
For those unfamiliar, a Solutions Design Reference (SDR) is a critical document in digital analytics. It outlines:
- Key use cases for tracking.
- KPIs to measure success.
- Benefits of the tracking setup to stakeholders.
Creating an SDR from scratch is a time-intensive task that typically requires deep technical knowledge and collaboration across teams.
The Prompt That Sparked a Solution
Curious to test o1’s capabilities, I asked it to draft an Adobe Analytics SDR for two mobile app mockups for a fictional payment app.
Here are the mobile app mockups:
Here’s the exact prompt I used:
“write a detailed SDR (solutions design document) for the implementation of Adobe Analytics on these two mobile app screens. Assume we are using Adobe Launch, the mobile SDK, Adobe Analytics and we would like to have the data available in Adobe Experience Platform as well. Please include the technical specifications."
The Results: An SDR in 30 Seconds
Within moments, o1 delivered a structured draft containing:
- Overview and Goals
- Technical Architecture
- Data Collection Methodology
- Variables and Event Definitions
- Data Layer and Tag Management Configuration (Adobe Launch)
- Mobile SDK Implementation Details
- Testing and Validation
- Appendix
