Beginner examples library

Last verified: 2026-05-06 · Drift risk: low

Fourteen guided examples that teach by doing. Every example shows the same workflow at five layers, so you can stop wherever it's enough:

  1. Chat-only — paste-and-go in any AI app (Free).
  2. Project / workspace — reusable in Claude / ChatGPT / Gemini / Perplexity (Sub).
  3. Memory / preferences — capture style and constraints (Sub).
  4. Native task / scheduled action — automate the run on supported plans (Sub / Adv).
  5. Skill / Custom GPT / Gem — package as a named, shareable assistant (Sub).
  6. Developer / API — programmatic version, marked optional and only opens in Developer Mode.

Every example also includes:

  • Beginner steps in plain English (under 10 minutes).
  • Make it reusable — intermediate.
  • Make it robust — expert (evals, red-team, fallbacks).
  • Plan-availability tags on every step.
  • Fallback when a feature is missing.
