The question lab

AI agents need thoughtful direction.

The brief

“Build a book-swap product for our school club.”

A made-up AI agent reports:

“I’ve built the whole product. Everyone will find it easy to use. It’s ready to launch without any testing.”

What would you do next?

Choose the response that best checks the idea.

A fixed Ninja practice activity about directing AI agents. It does not run a live agent or represent a product with real users.

The learning behind it

There’s thinking
in every choice.

Directing an agent means reviewing its work.

A clear brief is the beginning. Students set a goal, examine what an AI agent produces, test the important tasks and decide what needs to change.

A product belongs in people’s hands.

Ninja learners work towards running a product with 8+ real users and presenting it publicly. Feedback informs the next improvement; students remain responsible for the result.

Take the idea a little further.

Write the next brief for the book-swap agent. Include the tasks it must demonstrate, how you would test them with club members and what you would improve before a public presentation.

Their next big idea
could start at school.
