I Built an AI Role Play With No AI (and Claude Was a Very Good Sport About It) 🤖🚫

Last week at an ATD conference, I watched a demo where learners talked to an AI avatar client, asked questions, and got real feedback at the end. My first thought: I need this. My second thought:...

I'd love to get a copy of the prompt you used to start this build, or better yet, ask Claude to generate a prompt from the conversation that you could share with another designer to get them started, taking the entirety of the conversation into context. : )

CoryWarshaws117​ Great idea, and you inspired it! 😄 After reading your comment, I asked Claude to look back at our whole conversation, every back and forth, every “can you make it wider,” and turn it into a starter prompt another designer can use. 🙌

It includes:

📝 The starter prompt with fill in the blank spots for your own scenario
📋 A response table template (the secret sauce behind Jordan)
🧪 Test questions to try after your first build
🔧 Quick fixes for when your client misfires

One tip: attach a screenshot of the layout you want along with the prompt. It saves a ton of back and forth. 📸 And expect a few rounds. Version 1 gets the bones right, and testing is what makes your client feel smart.

Thanks for the push! Would love to see what you build.
