Design a Helper Agent

Plan an AI agent that senses, thinks, and acts to help with a chore.

Your mission

Design your own helper agent on paper and map out its Sense → Think → Act loop for a real everyday job.

What you'll need

  • Paper and colouring pens
  • A list of chores or problems at home
  • Stickers or cut-outs (optional)

Your step-by-step plan

  1. Pick a job

    Choose one job your agent will do — feed a pet, water plants, tidy toys.

  2. Draw your agent

    Design what it looks like and give it a name.

  3. Map the loop

    Write what it Senses, what it Thinks, and what it Acts — like the Agent Helper lab.

  4. Plan for problems

    Write one thing that could go wrong and how your agent would handle it.

Make it yours

  • Give your agent a second job and a second loop.
  • Act out your agent's loop for your family.

How you'll know you succeeded

  • Your agent has a clear job.
  • Its Sense–Think–Act loop is written out.
  • You planned for one problem.
