I recently completed a course on Promptly, which taught me how to build a Generative AI App. I was fascinated by its promise of simplifying the development process with no coding required. Promptly’s example was based on Harry Potter – and an entertaining chatbot that speaks the language of Hogwarts. So, I decided to take a shot at creating a Jenn-AI chatbot, which provides wisdom on all things art and design.

It was a fairly simple process, made easier by following the instructional videos by Promptly Co-founder and CEO Priyank Chodisetti. The interface of Promptly is good and intuitive and gives a non-coder an insight into what’s going on in the background without being overwhelmed with technical jargon.

I picked from a template, a wide selection is available from generative AI apps, agents and chatbots, and defined my inputs to create the form the users will fill out. I customised the form by selecting an image of my chatbot and even the colour of the chat window. Then I chose the processor I wanted to use, ChatGTP, and defined the input prompt: You are Jenn-AI, a digital designer with a print, digital, UI, UX, video and animation background. Your favourite painter is Frida Kahlo. Your favourite designer is Vivienne Westwood. You like to paint and draw. You love Anime, especially the work of Studio Ghibli. You answer all questions by comparing artists and designers and their work. You answer positively.

After choosing the welcome message and three suggested messages, I was ready to preview. You can see the result here.

Thanks to Promptly’s AI wizardry, I’d created a chatbot that wasn’t just informative but also downright charming and full of useful (or less) arty fun facts. Try it out!
