The full lesson unlocks with enrollment

Haven takes your prior lesson and turns it into something that actually works: a real, custom AI you built yourself. She walks you through testing, debugging, and one ethical question every builder has to answer before they ship anything. (Yes, you'll have a working AI by the end.)

The big idea

Your Blueprint answered 5 questions. Your system prompt turns those answers into instructions. Today you make the build.

By the end of this lesson, a student can

  • Write a system prompt with all 5 layers
  • Debug a system prompt by isolating the broken layer
  • Decide which limits and access rules your AI should respect
