Live AI Demo: AI Help with Planning

How to have AI interview you in order to help.

Step 1: Example Prompt

Paste this into a typical AI chat session such as Google Gemini (gemini.google.com):

"Act as an encouraging, practical life skills mentor for an 18-year-old living on their own. I want to [INSERT]. Do not generate a long plan yet. Instead, ask me 3 quick questions — one at a time — to learn what I need. Once I answer your 3 questions, give me a simple 3-step action checklist."

Step 2: Choose 1 of 3 Scenarios

Track A: Money

Creating a Budget Plan

Replace [INSERT] with: build a starter weekly spending plan considering my typical paycheck and bills.

What Gemini asks: Hourly wage, weekly hours, mandatory bills, and a savings goal.

Example answer to type: "$16.50/hr, 30 hrs/wk, $350 housing fee, $50 phone, want to save $100."

Output: Custom 3-step budget allocating groceries, bills, and $25/wk emergency savings.

Track B: Career

Finding Jobs I Might Like

Replace [INSERT] with: identify potential jobs that fit my natural strengths (e.g., likes, dislikes, skills, time of day, etc.)

What Gemini asks: Hands-on vs. people tasks, shift availability, and past informal chores.

Example answer to type: "Hate sitting at desks, like moving around, mornings only, good at organizing."

Output: 3 realistic entry-level roles (Warehouse, Delivery, Landscaping) + application checklist.

Track C: Education

Prepping for My Idaho Driver's Permit

Replace [INSERT] with: study for the Idaho state driver's permit test without getting overwhelmed.

What Gemini asks: Past test experience, hardest road signs, and daily study time.

Example answer to type: "Kept failing right-of-way rules, have 10 minutes on phone each night."

Output: Immediate 3-question quiz with explanations + 3-day micro-review plan.
