Create Your Own Custom AI Assistant for Youth Work Training
Sobre
Explore practical tools for designing and training a personal AI assistant or chatbot that supports tasks in youth work and training.
You will focus on designing your own Custom AI assistant for youth work or training. Through hands-on exploration, you will define its purpose, upload relevant materials, and set its tone, boundaries, and style.
The activity helps to understand how AI tools function, their benefits and limitations, and how they can be safely and creatively applied in non-formal education contexts.
By completing this activity, you will:
- Understand the difference between reactive, custom, and agentic AI.
- Explore tools such as Mistral Agents, Perplexity Spaces, NotebookLM, and ChatGPT Custom GPTs.
- Design, test, and refine a Custom AI assistant aligned with their youth work needs.
- Gain practical insight into AI’s potential and boundaries in educational design.
