## Description

The Creation workflow lets you build a brand‑new mentorAI from scratch. In a single guided flow you name the mentor, set its personality, choose a language model, upload knowledge resources, and generate an embed code—so you can deploy a customized AI tutor anywhere learners need it.

## How to Use (step by step)

#### Start the Creation Process

- Log in and click **Create**
- The **Create Mentor** screen opens on the **Settings** tab


#### Fill Out the Settings Tab

- **Profile Image** – upload an avatar for the mentor
- **Mentor Name** – e.g., “Bio AI”
- **Description** – short phrase like “Biology tutor that assists learners with Intro to Biology”
- **Category** – choose relevant tags (biology, science, learning)


**Mentor Visibility –**

- **Administrators** → only staff can see/use (assessments, admissions, internal data)
- **Students** → everyone can access (general tutoring)
- **Base Model** – select OpenAI default or Gemini


#### Define Prompts

- Open the **Prompts** section
- **System Prompt** – outline persona (e.g., Socratic biology tutor)
- **Proactive Message** – greeting shown before a learner’s first message
- **Guided Prompts** – AI‑suggested starter questions


#### Configure Additional Settings

- **LLM Selection** – choose the specific model version
- **Tools** – toggle extras (Web Search, Code Interpreter, Image Generation, etc.)
- **Safety** – set rules for inappropriate content and define the mentor’s fallback response


#### Review the History Tab (post‑launch)

Inspect all conversations, export chats, and filter by sentiment, date, or topic.

#### Upload Knowledge in Datasets

Add files, folders, or cloud links. These resources train the mentor’s retrieval system.

#### Embed the Mentor Elsewhere

- Open the **Embed** tab
- Choose **Default** or **Advanced** view
- Decide on **Anonymous vs. Trackable** usage
- Enter the target **Website URL**
- Optional toggles: **Context Aware**, **Safety Disclaimer**, **Open by Default**, **Icon**
- Click **Create Embed** and copy the snippet


#### Go Live

Deploy the embed code or share the mentor link.
Learners (or administrators) can now chat with the mentor immediately.

## Pedagogical Use Cases

#### Course‑Specific Tutors

Build mentors like “Bio AI” or “Macro Econ Coach” that draw on syllabus PDFs and lecture slides.

#### Admissions & Advising Assistants

Create Administrator‑visible mentors to handle FAQs, application guidance, or scholarship queries.

#### Assessment Authoring Helpers

Generate mentors restricted to instructors that draft quiz questions or grading rubrics.

#### Research Support Bots

Upload journal articles and datasets so the mentor can summarize findings and suggest next steps for student projects.

#### Campus‑Wide FAQ Bots

Embed a general “Campus Help Desk” mentor across the LMS to answer policy, tech, or financial‑aid questions 24/7.

Once you complete these steps, your mentor is fully configured—ready to guide learners or staff, depending on the visibility you selected.
