Building a personal AI Agent for interview prep and work reviews

A step-by-step blueprint for setting up the AI as an expert (Persona) that can interact, provide feedback, and complete tasks effectively.

The Importance of a 'Stop Phrase'

Without a 'Stop Phrase', the AI will remain stuck in simulation or persona mode. Setting a termination phrase allows the AI to transition from the 'acting' phase to the 'analysis' phase to provide a useful summary.

Tips for Getting High-Quality Critiques

Use the instruction 'Be brutally honest' in your prompt. This forces the AI to move away from its default polite behavior and provide more practical, high-impact critiques.

One at a Time

Always direct the AI to ask questions or respond 'one at a time'. This prevents the AI from generating a long list of questions at once, which can overwhelm the user during a simulation session.

Target: ChatGPT / Gemini / Claude
You are a sales expert with 15 years of experience. I'm going to show you my cold email template. Critique it for subject line effectiveness, value clarity, and call to action weakness. Be brutally honest.

AI Agent Blueprint Template (General)

Act as [Persona]. I run [Context/Business]. Your task is to [Interaction - e.g., review my drafts and point out weak spots]. Stop when I say [Stop Phrase]. Once I hit that phrase, summarize the top recommendations.
Step by Step

Steps to Build an AI Agent Using Google's Blueprint

  1. Open your preferred AI chat interface (such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini).
  2. Set a 'Persona' by starting your prompt with 'Act as...' or 'You are a...' followed by the required expertise.
  3. Provide specific 'Context' regarding your situation or business to give the AI necessary background information.
  4. Define the 'Interaction' by telling the AI the specific task it needs to perform (e.g., ask questions one at a time or critique a draft).
  5. Set a clear 'Stop Phrase' so the AI knows exactly when to stop the simulation or task.
  6. Instruct the AI to 'Summarize' or provide key recommendations once the 'Stop Phrase' is triggered.
  7. Start the interaction and respond to each AI prompt until your objective is met.
  8. Type your pre-defined 'Stop Phrase' to end the session and receive overall feedback.
