Unit 05 · Build Your Own AI Assistant
Build It: Your Custom AI Assistant
Lesson 9Guided by Haven
"You designed an AI assistant. Now what?"


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

From a plan to a system prompt, layer by layer.
Lesson 9 is one of 16 video lessons in the AI Explorers program for grades 6–12, each one ending in something made, not something memorized.
