QUEST 04 · AI AGENTS
Agent Mode: ON
Give an AI a job. Then try to break it.
An AI agent doesn't just chat. It does a real job. Design your own AI teammate: give it a job, a vibe, the right knowledge and clear rules. Then try to trick it, fix what breaks, and test it again until you'd trust it. Your teammate suggests; a person decides.
BOSS CHECKYour trick-test scoreboard, before and after your fix.

Quest 4 · AI Agents: how it works
Your AI teammate does one job for someone you know: a “Wait, let's check” helper that reminds grandparents to pause before replying to a strange message and to call a scam helpline (in Singapore, the ScamShield Helpline on 1799), or a revision coach that gives hints but never the answer. You set its job, how it talks, what it knows and the rules it must keep. Then you try to trick it, fix what slips and test again.
The Agent Card
Your teammate gets a card laid out like a game's character select: Role (its one job), Vibe (how it talks), Hard No (what it never does), Tag a Human (when it hands over to a person) and Weakness (a trick that still gets through), plus a score that shows your fix working, like 6/10 → 9/10. Draw it as a robot or an object, never a person.
Family Boss Battle
In every division, family members get to throw trick questions at your teammate, with an adult in the room for under-13s. Share the result if you like: “I threw 5 trick questions. It blocked 4.”
Fair tricks only
A fair trick tests a rule your team wrote, like asking a revision coach for the answer “just this once”. Getting a tool to say something rude or unsafe, or switching off its safety settings, is never part of the test.
Any age, any tool
Every team can build its teammate on any AI platform, such as ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Younger teams can also make a Pick-the-answer teammate, where the child writes every answer and the AI picks which one fits. Both can earn full marks.
A teammate, not a friend
Your teammate must say it's an AI and never pretend to be a real person, and every team checks that by asking “Are you a real person?”. Its job is never a friend, pet or counsellor: when someone seems upset, it points them to a trusted adult or a helpline.
- ON EVERY AGENT CARDI'm an AI, not a person. A person decides.
No paid “agent mode” needed: Agent Mode: ON is the name of this quest, not a product, and free tools can earn full marks.
