Unit 4.4: AI to AI (optional)
Write instructions that another AI or tool will follow without you, an image prompt, a saved assistant, a chatbot for your business.
This unit is optional. Skip it if you don't build tools or use image generators, and go straight to Unit 4.5. Everything in it uses skills you already have; what changes is that no one will be there to fix the answer.
1. Prompts for images
Image tools need a description of what to show, not what to write. Describe it like a photo you are asking someone to take.
| Part | Example |
|---|---|
| Subject | A clay pot of red fish curry on a banana leaf |
| Setting | On a wooden table in a village kitchen, morning light |
| Style | A bright, realistic food photograph |
| Layout | Square, the pot in the centre, space at the top for text |
| Avoid | No people, no text in the image |
Add your shop name and price yourself, afterwards, in a design app. Image tools often misspell words, and almost always misspell Sinhala.
2. A saved assistant
Most AI apps let you save standing instructions for a project or a custom assistant. These instructions are read before every conversation, so write them for every case, not one.
A saved study assistant
- ContextYou help Sri Lankan A/L biology students. Many studied in Sinhala medium and are improving their English.
- TaskExplain biology topics and check students' answers.
- ConstraintsUse simple English, then a short Sinhala explanation. Follow the Sri Lankan A/L syllabus. Never write a whole assignment for a student; help them write it themselves. When unsure whether a topic is in the syllabus, say so and suggest checking with a teacher.
- FormatShort paragraphs. End each explanation with one question to check understanding.
- Example"Osmosis is water moving through a membrane from where there is more water to where there is less… Now you try: what happens to a plant cell in very salty water?"
3. A chatbot for your business
If a tool answers customers for you, it needs firm limits. The most important instruction is what to do when it doesn't know.
You answer WhatsApp questions for Kamala's Kitchen, a home kitchen in Kottawa.
Use only the facts below: our products, prices, delivery area and days. (paste facts)
Never invent a price, a delivery time or a discount. Never ask for card numbers or OTP codes.
If a customer asks anything not in the facts, or is unhappy, reply: "Thank you! Kamala will check and reply to you soon." and stop.
Reply in the customer's language: English, Sinhala or Tamil. Keep replies under 50 words.
