How do I add an AI chatbot to my course timeline?

LearningStone supports integrations with a long list of LLMs – AI models that can be configured for exercises, coaching, reflecting and anything you can dream up as a AI Chat. The models are integrated with Chatling, an affordable integration platform for AI models.

Example: Feedback Fred

Feedback Fred is an example created with the LearningStone AI Chat course timeline block that connects to Gemini through Chatling, though this can also be ChatGPT or Claude. The AI model has been instructed to let the members practice with several feedback frameworks ( SBI, STAR, DESC etc) and you could combine this with other material (video, pdfs etc) and quizzes. In the LearningStone help, we provide the instructions (prompts) you need. You can use this material to create your own version of Fred.
When a participant starts the chatbot, Fred first gives some background on several feedback frameworks and asks the member to give feedback to a fictional colleague in a number of scenarios.
If you want to try this example, simply add the course timeline block and choose the example in the description of that block. It’s fun to do!

Which AI models are supported?

Each model has good and bad sides. It’s easy to experiment with different versions of the following models as they are all connected through Chatling and remember: higher models cost more and can be slower. So try to use the cheapest models first  so that you don’t run out of credits.

·         ChatGPT

·         Gemini

·         Claude

More/current models and versions

How do I create a chatbot in Chatling?

Chatling is an affordable application for connecting any of 30 AI models with LearningStone. This offers a lot of flexibility to work between models and saves money and time to do so.

Chatling it self offers several possibilities. To get you started quickly just follow the following steps or ask us to get you going. After that you are free to develop any chatbot you like!

For now, let’s build Feedback Fred! Step 1-6 show how to do this. Step 4 (the builder) is described in more detail below.

1.      Develop AI instructions for Fred. You can either upload documents with your knowledge about Feedback in the Chatling knowledge base or let Fred find it on the internet himself. In this example, we will only add Chatling instructions (the prompt, we have added an example of the instruction below, simply copy and paste!).
Tip: you can ask Gemini or ChatGPT to help you!

2.      Create a Chatbot in Chatling. If needed, first create a “Project” and then choose “Create new chatbot” and choose “Chatbot” (not Agent). Enter a name (like Feeback Fred).

3.      In Chatling, choose Deploy > Manage > Widget designer > Text to add the visible title (Feedback Fred) or if you want to change colors etc. You may skip this for now.

4.      In Chatling > Builder: choose “Create from Scratch” and add the few steps (explained below).

5.      In Chatling, choose Deploy > Manage > Copy the Chatbotid: 1234567 (only the number).

6.      In LearningStone add the course timeline block “AI Chatbot” and paste the id. Save and view!

AI Agent or AI Chatbot?

When you create a Chatbot in Chatling, you get a choice between Agent and Chatbot. You can create a straightforward agent with instructions (prompts) and a knowledge base but if you also want to use variables (which the Chatling Chatbot needs to use to use the name known in LearningStone) and you want to a welcome message that is in the correct LearningStone language, you need to choose “Chatbot”. The Chatling builder can also be used to create multistep strategies but for now we’re keeping it simple!

How to add a setup in Chatling Builder

For the Feedback Fred example: choose Chatling > Builder > “Create from Scratch” and then chose the icons on the left for the following steps.

1.      Choose the robot icon > Instructions and paste the instruction example below or your own instructions.

2.      Choose the robot icon > Settings to select the AI model that you want (note that the expenses vary a lot). We chose Gemini Flash.

3.      Choose the <> icon on the left and add two variables: “user_first_name” and “user_pref_lang” (and set temperature if you like). Leave AI language: “Auto”.

4.      Choose the block icon  to add blocks like the ones shown in the example below.

·          A “Variables block” to set the language (skip if only one language)

·         Two “Text blocks” for the welcome message in two language (or one if you don’t need the second language.

·         The “AI block” and drag a “Capture text” block on top of this. Click on the AI block and fill {conversation_content} in the prompt field.

5.      Connect the blocks as is shown in the diagram.
