Two AI study tools, and the prompts behind them

I built small AI tools inside online modules where a student types into a box and their words are dropped into a prompt I had written and tested. Type into either tool below and watch exactly where your text lands before it is sent.

About this piece. This is a working recreation of two tools I built in JavaScript for use in real modules. The prompt templates are tidied versions of the ones I used. The responses shown are scripted illustrations, not live model output, so the focus stays on the prompt design rather than on a model.

Why the template does the work

The student steers

The learner supplies only the part that changes: the week they finished, or the reflection they wrote. Everything around it is fixed, so they cannot accidentally break the task.

The prompt sets the job

The wording around the box decides what the tool is for. The review tool asks for a summary and signposting. The reflection tool asks for feedback against the module's own models.

Tested, not guessed

The value is in the wording. Small changes to that fixed text change the output a lot, which is why it was written and refined against real student input rather than dropped in once.
