# 11. Build a useful style and knowledge twin. Create a clearly labelled assistant using your approved notes and preferences. ## Facilitator preflight Bring laptops, internet, a projector and these local course files. Check tool access before the meetup. Keep samples free of personal information. Quick win: Draft one fictional message using your explicit style rules. Prerequisites: Modules 02 and 06. Three self-authored or consented writing samples. ### Tools and cost notes - **An existing AI chat tool and approved text notes.**: Prepared before the meetup.. No avatar, voice clone or paid assistant builder required for this core lesson. ## Run of show | Slide | Minutes | Activity | |---|---:|---| | 1 | 3 | Build a useful style and knowledge twin. | | 2 | 3 | Before you start. | | 3 | 5 | Your first small win. | | 4 | 3 | What happens between input and output? | | 5 | 3 | Step 01.

Outcome: Create a clearly labelled assistant using your approved notes and preferences. This is a 60-minute in-person laptop session after preflight. No setup-duration guarantee. Core first, extensions second. ## 2. Before you start. No avatar, voice clone or paid assistant builder required for this core lesson. The facilitator verifies accounts, installed tools and model/host connections before the session. Pair up if setup is incomplete. Do not create accounts or incur costs without understanding the provider terms. ## 3. Your first small win. Quick win: Draft one fictional message using your explicit style rules. Aim for a visible result in the first 15 minutes after preflight. Explain that generated code/output is untested until the learner checks it. If tools are unavailable, inspect the prepared example with a partner. Copyable prompt: [Open prompt](index.html#11-quick-win) ```text Draft a fictional club reminder using these style rules: short sentences, warm tone, no hype. Facts: Saturday, 10:00, community room. Label it AI-assisted draft. Do not add promises, names or links. ``` ## 4. What happens between input and output? Ask a learner to explain each stage in their own words. This is a teaching model, not a promise that all tools behave identically. ## 5. Step 01. Choose its narrow purpose. Perform these numbered actions on the laptop. Pause after the step and inspect the result. Use fictional or approved material. Source: [NIST: Generative AI Profile](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ai/NIST.AI.600-1.pdf) ## 6. Step 02. Prepare approved material. Perform these numbered actions on the laptop. Pause after the step and inspect the result. Use fictional or approved material. Source: [NIST: Generative AI Profile](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ai/NIST.AI.600-1.pdf) ## 7. Step 03. Extract explicit rules. Perform these numbered actions on the laptop. Pause after the step and inspect the result. Use fictional or approved material. Source: [NIST: Generative AI Profile](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ai/NIST.AI.600-1.pdf) ## 8. Step 04. Start a scoped chat. Perform these numbered actions on the laptop. Pause after the step and inspect the result. Use fictional or approved material. Source: [NIST: Generative AI Profile](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ai/NIST.AI.600-1.pdf) ## 9. Step 05. Test unknowns and identity. Perform these numbered actions on the laptop. Pause after the step and inspect the result. Use fictional or approved material. Source: [NIST: Generative AI Profile](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ai/NIST.AI.600-1.pdf) ## 10. Step 06. Save a versioned card. Perform these numbered actions on the laptop. Pause after the step and inspect the result. Use fictional or approved material. Source: [NIST: Generative AI Profile](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ai/NIST.AI.600-1.pdf) ## 11. Make the working version. Use fictional practice inputs. Ask learners to show their work, not just the final answer. Copyable prompt: [Open prompt](index.html#11-build) ```text You are a clearly labelled AI style/knowledge assistant, not me. Use only the approved notes and style card below. Cite note names for facts. Say when information is absent. Draft only; never impersonate or claim actions. Style card: [paste]. Notes: [paste]. ``` ## 12. Ask for a review. Then check it. Use fictional practice inputs. Ask learners to show their work, not just the final answer. Copyable prompt: [Open prompt](index.html#11-review) ```text Compare this draft with my approved style card and notes. Flag invented facts, identity claims and style mismatches. Suggest one revision. Do not infer personality beyond the card. Card: [paste]. Notes: [paste]. Draft: [paste]. ``` ## 13. Prove your result works. These are manual acceptance tests for the learner to perform. No test is claimed to have run merely because it appears here. Ask pairs to demonstrate one pass and one corrected failure. ## 14. When it does not work yet. Choose the observed symptom. Change one thing and rerun the smallest test. Avoid restarting the whole project or adding tools before diagnosing the current step. ## 15. Choose your next challenge. Experienced learners use the extensions while beginners complete the same core outcome. An extension is optional, not a prerequisite for participating. ## 16. Keep the result. Keep the evidence. Save the working version before leaving. Add a short note: what worked, what needed correction and what you would try next. The next module builds on the saved output. ## 17. Sources you can check. Primary sources checked during course creation on 2026-10-08. Provider interfaces and availability can change. The examples, prompts and activities are original community teaching designs. Source links explain capabilities; they do not prove these fictional exercises were executed.

N opens notes. Read all slides creates a scrolling lesson. Every prompt has a real Copy prompt button with an honest manual fallback if the browser blocks clipboard access. Keep the whole curriculum folder together: PPTX prompt links open the companion index.html at the same prompt anchor. PowerPoint does not copy directly. For sharing online, rebuild with --companion-base-url set to the published curriculum URL. Motion illustrates input, agent, tool, human review and output. Pause flow stops it; system reduced-motion is respected. PDF contains a static diagram. PPTX uses an animated GIF where available; playback varies by viewer. Original teaching content, synthesized from learning objectives. Public source decks remain separate in library/. No one-to-one rebranding or permission to republish is implied.
