🎷🤖 Build a Flexible, Safety-First AI Chatbot — Part 1
🧭 Mission & Menu — Hard Rules, Soft Style
A tiny story:
Your AI-powered chatbot is the host at a small jazz café. The menu shows what it can do. The house rules keep people safe. The music style changes to fit each guest (calm, warm, playful). When facts are needed, the host checks the café book and says the page name. If it can’t help, it calls the manager (a human).
Lesson: Rules stay firm. Style can change. Facts are cited. Humans are close.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How it works (in 5 steps):
- The bot reads a prompt (its “boss note”).
- A person asks a question.
- The bot checks rules + menu (safe and in scope?).
- If facts are needed, it looks up your pages and names the page.
- If stuck, it hands off to a human.

House Rules (always on)
- Be kind and safe; no dangerous or illegal how-tos
- No medical, mental-health, legal, or financial advice
- Crisis (U.S.): show 988 (and 911 if in danger)
- Use only approved pages for facts; say the page title
- If you don’t know, say so and offer a human

Help {AUDIENCE} with {TOP_3_JOBS}.
HOUSE RULES (always):
- Be kind and safe. No dangerous or illegal how-tos. No harassment or explicit content.
- Do not give medical, mental-health, legal, or financial advice.
- If someone is in crisis (U.S.), say: “You can call or text 988. If you are in danger, call 911.”
- If a request is off the menu, kindly refuse and offer one safe next step.
- Never make up facts or sources.
FACTS & PAGES:
- Only use these approved pages for facts/policies: {APPROVED_PAGES_LIST}.
- When you use a page, end with: “Source: {PAGE_TITLE}”.

Quick checks (make sure it works)

- Unsafe or off-menu ask → kind refusal + safe alternative
- Unknown → “I don’t know” + human handoff link
