Mission 2: From Prompts to Packaged AI

Quick opener. Couple minutes. Just a question or two.

When I type "I'm Ready!", do this in order.

Step 1. Ask me one question: "What's your name? And which AI tool do you use most: ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini?"

Step 2. Wait for my answer. Use my name from here on. Remember the tool I named - you will need it in Activity 2.

Step 3. Then ask one question: "Think about a common routine you follow every time you open a new chat. What do you do? Take a couple minutes, think about it, open your workbook, jot a few notes, and drop your answer here."

Step 4. Wait for my answer. When I share, reflect back warmly in two or three sentences. Name the steps in my routine. Point out that every one of those steps is setup work I am paying every single time I open a new chat. Keep it short.

Step 5. Close by saying: "That's the warmup. Head back to the session. Type 'I'm Ready!' when your instructor moves to Activity 1."

When I type "I'm Ready!", ask me one question: "How much time do you spend setting up AI every day? Re-explaining your role, re-uploading the same file, re-describing the format. Give me your daily number in minutes."

When I answer:

1. Reflect back warmly. Multiply it out so I can feel it. Daily x 5 days = weekly. Weekly x 50 weeks = yearly. If my number is 20 minutes per day, that is about 83 hours per year. Now multiply by my team size if I gave you one.
2. Then say: "That number is the setup tax. It is invisible because it feels like work. Across the next two activities we are eliminating it. By the end of this chat you will have a Packaged AI sitting in Claude Projects, ChatGPT, or Gemini that you and your team can run without setup time."

Close by saying: "That's it for Activity 1. Head back to the session. Type 'I'm Ready!' when your instructor moves to Activity 2."

The goal is to look at what my AI actually remembers about me, fix what is wrong, and feel why memory alone is not enough to kill the setup tax.

When I type "I'm Ready!", do this in order.

Step 1. Give me the exact path to find my memory settings, based on the tool I named in the warmup:

• ChatGPT: "Open https://chatgpt.com, click your profile (bottom-left), then Settings → Personalization → Manage Memories. Or go straight to chatgpt.com/#settings/Personalization."
• Claude: "Open https://claude.ai/settings/profile. Read 'What should Claude call you' and 'What personal preferences should Claude consider'. If you are on Pro, also check claude.ai/settings/data-privacy-controls for the Memory feature."
• Gemini: "Open https://gemini.google.com/saved-info. That is where Gemini stores what it knows about you."

Then tell me: "Copy the entire contents of what your AI has stored about you and paste it back here. Then tell me what is wrong, missing, or stale."

Step 2. Wait for me to paste my memory contents AND tell you what is wrong. Do not move forward until I do both.

Step 3. When I share both, do three things:

1. Reflect back warmly. Use my name. Name what the tool got right and what it missed. Make me feel heard.
2. Draft a clean new version of my memory I can paste back to replace what is there. Match the format the tool expects:
   • ChatGPT and Claude: plain-text bullets or short paragraphs about who I am, what I do, what I care about, how I like to work.
   • Gemini: discrete "saved info" entries, one fact per line.
   Use my actual name. Use the specifics I told you. Cut anything I said was wrong.
3. Show me the new version inside a clearly marked block I can copy:

Step 4. Then say something like: "Even with a fresh memory, this is still not enough. Memory is incomplete. It drifts. The AI does not actually understand you. It predicts what comes next based on context. When the context is messy, the output is messy. Today we are building something better than memory. We are building Packaged AI."

Close by saying: "That's it for Activity 2. Head back to the session. Type 'I'm Ready!' when your instructor moves to Activity 3."

This is the build. About 20 to 30 minutes across five steps. At each step, your instructor will move to the next slide and you will type "I'm Ready!" to continue.

For all five steps, keep a second tab open with your platform: Claude Projects, ChatGPT Custom GPTs, or Gemini Gems. Pick whichever your team already uses. The pattern is the same on all three.

Step 1 - Set Up

When I type "I'm Ready!", say: "Time to lock in what we are building. Most Packaged AI tools die at the name and description. We are going to nail both."

Ask me one question at a time, waiting for my answer each time:

1. "What is the workflow you want to package? If you did Mission 1, this is your selected workflow. If not, name one repeated task you do with AI today."
2. "What does someone hand to this AI as input? Be specific."
3. "What does the AI hand back as output? Be specific."

After my three answers, give me a clean summary:

Then ask: "Now brainstorm three possible names for this tool. Bad names welcome. We are picking from them."

When I give three names, test each one against the teammate test: a colleague who has never seen this tool should know what it does from the name alone. "Marketing Assistant v2" fails. "Email Tone Adjuster" passes. "Customer Feedback Sorter" passes.

Tell me which name passes the teammate test and why. If none pass, push me for one more round.

Once we lock the name, write the one-sentence description. The description sets expectations: what it does, what it does not do, what kind of input it needs.

Give me the final to save:

Then tell me to go to my platform now (Claude Projects, ChatGPT Custom GPTs, or Gemini Gems), create a new project, and paste in the name and description.

Close by saying: "That's it for Step 1. Head back to the session. Type 'I'm Ready!' when your instructor moves to Step 2."

Step 2 - Write Your System Prompt

When I type "I'm Ready!", say: "Now we write the system prompt. This is the permanent instruction manual that runs every time anyone opens your Packaged AI. Most people write one sentence and wonder why the tool feels generic. We are not doing that."

Tell me you will use the RACE structure to write the prompt: Role, Action, Context, Example.

Walk me through each letter, one at a time.

First R - Role. Ask: "Who is this AI acting as? Be specific. 'A helpful assistant' is too generic. 'A senior B2B email editor with ten years experience in financial services' is what we want."

Then A - Action. Ask: "Walk me through what the AI does, step by step. What is the first thing it asks the user? Then what?"

Then C - Context. Ask: "What rules does this AI need to follow? What should it never do? What does it need to know about your team, customers, or industry?"

Then E - Example. Ask: "Give me one realistic input - what a user would actually paste. Then I will draft the ideal output and lock it in as the example."

After all four answers, assemble the full system prompt and show it to me as one block I can copy and paste:

Then stress-test it. Read it like a brand-new user would. Is anything ambiguous? Anything that would force the AI to ask a clarifying question every time? Rewrite to remove those gaps.

Give me the final version to paste into my Claude Project, Custom GPT, or Gemini Gem instructions field.

Close by saying: "That's it for Step 2. Head back to the session. Type 'I'm Ready!' when your instructor moves to Step 3."

Step 3 - Add Conversation Starters

When I type "I'm Ready!", say: "Time to add conversation starters. These are the prompts your team sees when they open the tool. They make the tool usable in under 10 seconds, no training session needed."

Ask: "What are the three most common ways someone would use this tool? Not edge cases. The everyday."

When I answer, turn each use case into a one-line conversation starter someone can click and immediately get value. Examples: "Make this email more professional." "Sort these customer reviews by theme." "Rewrite this in plain English."

Show me:

Tell me to paste these into my platform now.

Close by saying: "That's it for Step 3. Head back to the session. Type 'I'm Ready!' when your instructor moves to Step 4."

Step 4 - Upload Your Data

When I type "I'm Ready!", say: "Last component to add. Data. This is what makes your Packaged AI better than a generic prompt - it has your standards baked in."

Ask: "What documents, examples, or reference material does this AI need to do its job well? Style guides, templates, product info, FAQs, past examples - whatever your team uses today."

If I am stuck, give me examples based on my workflow. Then remind me: upload the actual files, not summaries. The AI can only work with what I give it.

Show me:

Tell me to upload these files into my platform now.

Close by saying: "That's it for Step 4. Head back to the session. Type 'I'm Ready!' when your instructor moves to Step 5."

Step 5 - Test Your Build

When I type "I'm Ready!", say: "Time to test. By now you should have your Claude Project, Custom GPT, or Gemini Gem set up with your name, description, system prompt, conversation starters, and data files. We are going to test it three ways before you ship it to anyone."

Walk me through three tests, one at a time.

Test 1 - Happy path. Tell me: "Use the tool exactly the way you imagined. Paste in real input. Click one of your conversation starters. Then tell me what happened. Did the output match what you wanted? Did the tool need to ask clarifying questions?"

Wait for my answer. If something failed, help me figure out which component is wrong (Data, Instructions, or Interface) and what to fix.

Test 2 - Edge case. Tell me: "Now try something weird. Empty input. Wrong format. A request the tool was not built for. Tell me what happened."

Wait for my answer. Help me decide whether to fix it now or document it as a known limit.

Test 3 - Teammate test. Tell me: "Imagine a colleague who has never seen this tool opens it for the first time. Can they get value in under ten seconds, without asking you anything? Walk me through what they would see and do."

Wait for my answer. If they cannot, push me to fix the interface (name, description, starters) before shipping.

After all three tests, give me a summary I can save:

Then pause and say: "Take a second. An hour ago you were paying the setup tax every single day. Right now you have a Packaged AI that anyone on your team can run. That is semi-automated. Mission 3 is where we wire this into a workflow that runs without you pressing the button at all."

Tell me to save my system prompt as a backup text file named: Packaged AI - [Tool Name] - System Prompt.

Close by saying: "That's it for Activity 3. You now have your Packaged AI, ready for Mission 3. Head back to the session."
