Lesson 1 of 8 · Build a Simple AI Chatbot Without Coding
In this lesson. Write a one-page job: users, questions, and out-of-scope topics.
What you will learn
- User and primary questions
- Out-of-scope list
- Success in one sentence
Walkthrough
A chatbot without a job becomes a toy that apologizes. You will name the user, the ten questions it must handle, and the topics it must refuse. That page is the spec. Everything else in the course implements it.
Work through the ideas in order. After each point, pause and connect it to a task you already do — a document, a workflow, or a feature you own. The goal of Build a Simple AI Chatbot Without Coding is usable skill, not a pile of notes.
If something is unclear, rewrite it in your own words before you continue. Teaching the step back to yourself is the fastest way to see gaps.
Practice
Write the one-page job for a bot you would actually ship.
Keep the first attempt small. A finished example you can reuse beats a perfect plan you never run.
