Robot helpers

How do I teach an AI helper my own rules?

You can teach an AI helper with plain words: no code, no magic. One clear rule at a time, then a job it repeats the same way, then your own safety rules on top.

The steps

  1. Give one clear rule: use short sentences.
  2. Test it: did the helper obey?
  3. Add a job: write short thank-you notes.
  4. Test the job with a new example.
  5. Write your safety rules and keep them.

Stay safe

  • Rule one everywhere: never ask for private things.
  • Saving rules permanently needs an account: a trusted person sets it up.

Can you customize ChatGPT without coding?
Yes: plain-language instructions work. Tell it the rules you want it to follow and the jobs you want it to repeat. AbleMakers teaches this as its graduation module.
