Here's your Top Navigation Checklist:

[  ] CLICK the purple START YOUR EXPERIENCE button bottom center to get going. This is the basic MeclabsAI CFD and is the normal way to do the bulk of your AI work. 

[  ] The NEW INTERACTION button (top left) is what to click to start a new chat. Use this whenever you change topics or when your thread gets long.

[  ] The MINUS SIGN is how you minimize the screen.

[  ] The DOUBLE DAGGERS SIGN is how you maximize the screen. For maximum size, click it TWICE. 

[  ] The  INTERACTION HISTORY link (bottom left by the clock icon) is how you return to your CHAT HISTORY, a list of all of your previous interactions and chats. NOTE: These are connected to your account through your sign-in email. They are PRIVATE and SECURE. 

[  ] The MICROPHONE ICON is how you can talk to MinistryAI instead of typing. 

[  ] The SPEAKER  ICON, which appears beneath your output when you hover over it, is how you can have MinistryAI talk to you.

[  ] The SEND ICON, which looks like a paper airplane, is the same as hitting your RETURN/ENTER key. It sends your PROMPT to the system.

[. ] The SHARE ICON, which appears above the avatar, allows you to share a COPY of the current interaction as it exists at the moment you create the share link. 

This is tremendous value for working with teams, for training, and even for tutors who can being a process, and hand it off to students for continuation. 

[  ] The Experts/Apps and Library links in the bottom of the query box is how you use the various tools that have been allocated to this CFD (by the creator). Note, you may not have these links, depending on how the CFD was intially created. 

Well done! You've ready to launch your ministry, school, business, or personal life to new levels of effectiveness!

EXPERTS AND APPS

[  ] EXPERTS are highly interactive AI Agents. You can talk back to them.  You can have them modify or improve their outputs. They will remember and respond to previous outputs, but only if those outputs are in the same thread. 

[  ] APPS are one-hit-wonders. They do a job, very sequentially, and then they are done. You can't interact with them. They will break the memory of the previous outputs in a thread. 

Apps do a great job at working sequentially. Apps can also be deployed in the sidebar of a CFD to create powerful workflows. 

[  ] When a discussion thread gets too long, your thread may bog down or even stop responding. You may be bumping into token limitations. Every often instruct MARKETING PROFESSOER to give you a summary which you can copy, start a NEW INTERACTION, paste it in, and continue developing your materials. 

[  ] LIBRARIES. Libraries are repositories of knowledge, allowing each Expert and App to function in superior ways. 

Libraries are customizable; you can provide PROPRIETARY DATA and have our MINISTRYAI AGENTS interact with it. 

Libraries are PRIVATE, CONFIDENTIAL, and SECURE. 

Since files uploaded to a Library have to be processed into a vector database, it can take a while before a Library works, so they are not immediately available. 

[  ] LIBRARIES: Use for long term storage of relatively permanant materials. 

[  ] LINKED PROMPTS: Use for philosophical stances that you want to easily and quickly use to guide your experts and apps.

[  ] PROMPTS: You can put a good amount of guidance within the prompt itself when you create an expert or app. This is relatively easy to change. 

[  ] UPLOAD (via paper clip or + sign). This is the easiest way to upload transitory, temporary, or simple info for the Expert/App to process. 

The Paper Clip is your Friend. 

A CFD is a Customer Facing Device. 

1. It is a way of deploying Experts, Apps, and Libraries or collections of experts, apps, and libraries on any web page.
2. In a simple sense, a CFD is a container for 1 or more experts and apps. 
3. CFDs are also called AI Agents, Agents, or AI Assistants. 
4. CFDs have powerful back end tools for lead generation, subscriber recruitment, and resource generation.

Here are some reasonable expectations for your use of MinistryAI Agents:

[  ] TIME. It takes about 3 days of reasonable use to get comfortable navigating the MinistryAI Interface.

[  ] NORMAL. It takes about a week to 10 days of routine use to make using MinistryAI feel like a trusted partner in your work and life. MinistryAI will quickly become your "new normal."

START:

Circle > Settings > Experts (or Apps) > New Expert

BUILDING:

1. Give it a NAME (this is changeable)

2. Give it a DESCRIPTION (Hi. I'm Dr. Nick and I'm here to answer your questions about Christian Halls.)*

3. Select MECLABS METHODOLOGY or not. Usually check this box if you are working with standard AI questions, especially in the realm of MARKETING.  You can always experiment with this and uncheck it later. 

Note: if you really want to constrain answers to your LIBRARY data or LINKED PROMPTS, then do NOT check this box. 

4. Select INCLUDE GOOD EXAMPLES or not. Almost always it's best to do this so that the user understands what to do with this expert.*

5. Enter your MAIN PROMPT. We're going to show you how to make this next. 

6. Attach your LINKED PROMPTS or not. You can build a collection of these for various purposes. 

7. Turn on (or not) WEB SEARCH. DO NOT turn this on if you want your answers to be constrained to your Libraries, Main Prompt, or Linked Prompt. 

8. LINK a LIBRARY.... or not. This glues the library to your Expert.

Both the LINKED PROMPTS and the LINKED LIBRARY will INFORM and CONSTRAIN your outputs. 

Without them the MAIN PROMPT guided by the LLM will itself provide the primary answer. 

9. ASSIGN an LLM... The default is GPT-4o. [This only comes into play for super high level AI responses, or when you start burning through tokens too fast (additional costs may apply).]

10. UPLOAD 2 Images, a standard imate (128 px square jpg or png) and an AutoAI mode image (234 x 211 px png with background removed). 

11. SHARE this expert with your WORKSPACE or with various HALLS or INDIVIDUALS. 

We recommend making other users USERS, not EDITORS or OWNERS, unless you want to give up IP and unless you want to empower others to make changes to the underlying prompts. 

Using the MINISTRYAI Main Interface:

In this exercise we are going to build an Expert based on the CHI 6 Level Marketing Philosophy.

This has already been done, and you can follow the thread here: 

https://meclabsai.com/share/89T8HfN4sRBL537

1. EXPERT: Select the MARKETING PROFESSOR from the experts list. 

2. PROMPT: "Analyze the feasibility of turning this chart into an AI Agent. Is this reasonable?"

3. PASTE: Copy and Paste: the CHI 6 Level Marketing Plan. 

OUTPUT: Assessing the AI Agent Feasibility for Emmaus Hall

Your client’s plan details marketing fundamentals, campaigns, growth strategies, automation, and advanced campaigns. This roadmap can be translated into an AI Agent if you clearly define which elements can be automated and which require human interaction. Below, I outline an analysis of feasibility and integration considerations aligned with MECLABS principles.

LEVEL 1: REASONABLE

LEVEL 2: FEASIBLE

LEVEL 3: ACHIEVABLE

LEVEL 4: CHALLENGING

LEVEL 5: POTENTIAL

4. Still with MARKETING PROFESSOR: 

PROMPT: For each level, please identify the specific elements indicated by the checkbox and add them in a column in the table.

5. Change EXPERTS: Switch to EXPERT MAKER. 

PROMPT: Review the table above and help me turn it into an expert. This expert will analyze inputs from a specific hall (a local expression of a school) to identify which of the 6 levels the school is at.

6. Change EXPERTS: Change to CONVERSION PRO. 

PROMPT: Provide this raw markdown. [NOTE: it might help to say, Provide this in the correct syntax in raw Markdown.]

7. OUTPUT: COPY the output and place it into the MAIN PROMPT box in the EXPERT BUILDER. 

8. MAKE ADJUSTMENTS: (As desribed above: Linked Prompts, Linked Library, Meclabs Methodology, LLM selection, Sample Prompts, etc.)

Attach:

The Library that is produces for CHI.

Create Linked Prompts as follows:

a. CHI Value Proposition Codex. 

b. CHI Values and Statements of Faith

c. SEU Brand Bible, etc. 

9. TEST, ADJUST, REFINE, ITERATE, PERFECT.

=================

PART 3: SET GOALS

1.  For CHI purposes, your main 2 tools for now will be LEAD GENERATION and/or CLICK THROUGH. 

Each selection will bring up configurable forms, which are beyond the scope of today's lesson. 

2. If you are only creating a functional tool, then select SUBSCRIPTION and set the free message limit very high (1000 or more). 

======================

PART 4: MAP TRIGGERS

1. You are given 4 options for how your CFD starts on the page. Each selection runs a mini-animation of how it will look. 

2. Each option presents additional options.
