AI Assistant
An AI with standing instructions — a system prompt it reads before every single chat, so it behaves the same way every time.
In practice
A study helper that always hints instead of answering.
Where students meet it
AI Assistant is taught in Lesson 8, Design Your AI: What Should It Do?, part of the Assistants unit of the AI Explorers course for kids. Nico is the guide for that lesson, and it is one of 5 terms in the unit.
