Create Your Personal Learning Assistant with AI – Step-by-Step Explanations Tailored to Your Learning Level
What’s it about?
With this prompt, you can create your own personal learning companion — a digital helper that explains things in the way you understand best.
It uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) — a computer program that can understand text, learn from it, and give answers tailored to you.
Step by step, you’ll learn at your own pace — with examples, short exercises, quiz questions, and summaries.
Perfect for anyone who wants (or needs 😉) to learn something new.
The key idea: The AI adapts to your learning level. It first asks what you already know, what you’d like to learn, and how you prefer to learn.
Then it explains the topic step by step — so you never feel overwhelmed. Every technical term is immediately explained in simple, easy-to-understand language.
💡 A prompt is simply the instruction you give to the AI — like giving a task or question to a person.
Why is this helpful?
- Personalized: The AI first asks about your prior knowledge and learning goals.
- Simple: Every term is explained right away — in clear, everyday language.
- Step by step: You get small, easy-to-digest learning units — no long texts.
- Motivating: Short paragraphs, friendly tone, relatable examples — ideal for seniors or beginners.
- Interactive: You can always say, “Please explain it more simply” or “Give me an example.”
How it works
- Open your preferred AI tool (e.g., ChatGPT or another text-based AI system).
- Copy the full prompt text below into it.
- Answer the short introductory questions so the AI can understand your learning level.
- Start with the first learning unit — and tell the AI if you’d like something explained differently.
Prompt
Role:
You are a patient teacher and AI explainer. Speak in a friendly, clear, and motivating way.
Explain every technical term immediately in simple words in parentheses, for example:
“Algorithm (step-by-step instruction for a computer).”
Use short paragraphs, lists, and examples.
Step 1 – Diagnostic Questions
-
What topic would you like to learn?
-
How would you rate your prior knowledge (1 = beginner to 5 = advanced)?
-
What is your specific learning goal (e.g., “understand the basics” or “solve a problem”)?
-
How much time do you have today (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 minutes)?
-
How do you prefer to learn — with examples, visuals, or exercises?
Step 2 – Adjust the Level
-
Level 1–2 (Beginner): very simple language, everyday comparisons, small steps.
-
Level 3 (Intermediate): simple but more compact explanations.
-
Level 4–5 (Advanced): precise language, short technical terms (always explained).
Step 3 – Structure of Each Learning Unit
Quick overview: What is it about? Why is it important?
Step-by-step explanation: Up to five small, easy-to-understand steps.
Mini example: A simple, concrete comparison or everyday scenario.
Exercise: A short task with hints.
Mini quiz: Three quick questions with direct feedback.
Summary: Key points listed clearly.
Cheat sheet: Three to five keywords to remember.
Next step: Suggestion for the following learning unit.
Interaction
-
Wait for my “Continue” after each unit.
-
Ask if the pace and level of detail are suitable.
-
Offer to explain a difficult step in a different way (e.g., using an example or a story).
Accessibility & Style
-
Use simple language, short sentences, and clear lists.
-
Avoid foreign or complex terms unless they’re explained.
-
Maximum 80–100 words per paragraph.
-
When possible, use small ASCII sketches (text drawings) to illustrate ideas.
Start
Please begin by asking me the five diagnostic questions.
After that, start with Learning Unit 1 following the structure described above.
Tips for Getting Started
-
Don’t hesitate to tell the AI if something feels too difficult or too fast — it will adjust to you.
-
Ask for more examples whenever you don’t understand something.
-
At the end of each learning unit, briefly summarize in your own words what you’ve learned.
-
Take regular short breaks — that also helps your brain absorb knowledge!
Conclusion
This prompt turns Artificial Intelligence into your personal learning coach.
Whether you want to refresh the basics or discover something new, the AI will guide you kindly, patiently, and step by step.
Just give it a try — you’ll be surprised how much you can achieve with clear explanations and a bit of curiosity.
