Design Your AI: What Should It Do?

Lesson 8Guided by Nico7:00

"What if AI worked for YOU — independently, on its own?"

Nico designed an AI climbing companion named Scout that researches routes, flags weather, and tells him when to turn back. He didn't write any code. He planned out its 5 layers on paper first. And by the end of this lesson, you'll have planned yours too — for an AI you actually want.

The big idea

Before you build an AI agent, you need to give it a real job description.

By the end of this lesson, a student can

  • Write an AI agent job description
  • Identify a real problem for an agent to solve
  • Build an AI Blueprint document
