Warm-Up · Your Dream Helper

8 min

You've learned the recipe, specifics, examples, tone, steps and repairs. Now you'll combine them into one project.

Imagine a study helper that could explain hard things simply, quiz you, and summarise your notes. Which would help you most?

The idea

A "Study Buddy" is just a small collection of good prompts you keep and reuse — one for explaining, one for quizzing, one for summarising.

03

New Concept · A Prompt Library

18 min

Good prompts are worth keeping. A saved set of them is a prompt library. Your Study Buddy will have four prompts — each using the recipe you learned.

  • Explain — make a hard topic simple.
  • Quiz — test yourself with feedback.
  • Summarise — shrink notes to the key points.
  • Flashcards — turn a topic into question/answer cards.

The trick is to leave a blank for the topic, so you can reuse each prompt for any subject:

You

You are a patient tutor. Explain [TOPIC] to a 10-year-old in 3 short sentences, then give one everyday example.

🤖 AI

(Fill in [TOPIC] with anything — "fractions", "the water cycle", "gravity" — and the same prompt works every time.)

Stay safe

Use your Study Buddy on school topics. Keep personal details out, and always check the AI's answers against your notes or teacher.

Guided Build · Three Prompts Together

18 min

Let's build the first three Study Buddy prompts as a class. Notice each uses Role, Task, Details and Format.

1. The Explain prompt

You

You are a friendly tutor. Explain photosynthesis to a 10-year-old in 3 short sentences, then give one example I'd see at home.

🤖 AI

Plants make their own food using sunlight, water and air. The green parts catch the sunlight like tiny solar panels. Example: the pot of pandan on your kitchen window is doing this every sunny day.

2. The Quiz prompt

You

You are a quizmaster. Ask me 3 easy questions about photosynthesis, one at a time, and tell me if my answer is right with a short tip.

🤖 AI

Question 1: What three things do plants need to make food? (Tell me your answer and I'll check it!)

3. The Summarise prompt

You

Summarise these notes into 3 key bullet points a 10-year-old can revise from: [PASTE NOTES].

🤖 AI

(Paste your notes where it says [PASTE NOTES] and the AI returns 3 tidy revision bullets.)

The takeaway

Three reusable prompts, and your Study Buddy is already powerful. One more — flashcards — and it's complete.

05

Try It Yourself

20 min

Use the teacher-opened chatbot. Build and test your own versions.

01 🟢 Your Explain prompt

Write an "explain it simply" prompt for a topic you find hard. Test it and tweak it once.

Hint

Start from the class Explain prompt and change the topic and example.

02 🟡 Your Quiz prompt

Write a "quiz me" prompt with clear rules: how many questions, the difficulty, one at a time, and give feedback.

Hint

Add "easy", "3 questions", "one at a time", "tell me if I'm right".

06

Mini-Challenge · Assemble Your Study Buddy

12 min

Write your four Study Buddy prompts on one card: Explain, Quiz, Summarise, Flashcards. Each must use the recipe and leave a blank for the topic. Test at least one on the class chatbot.

It works if all four prompts are clear, reusable for any topic, and at least one gives you a genuinely helpful answer.

Show the Flashcards prompt
You

Turn [TOPIC] into 5 flashcards in this format: "Q: ... A: ...". Keep questions easy for a 10-year-old.

07

Recap

5 min
