# Prompt Template

Copy and modify the below template and paste it into [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/) to have it quickly create a well-formatted Scenario Modifier for you.

> I want to create a Scenario Modifier for a simulation in **Ovation** ([ovationvr.com](https://www.ovationvr.com/?ref=blog.ovationvr.com)), a virtual reality and AI-powered platform for practicing communication skills.\
> \
> In Ovation, a **Scenario** is a realistic roleplay situation where the user interacts with an AI-driven avatar to practice specific communication challenges. Scenarios can range from a job interview to an impromptu speech to handling a tough customer conversation.\
> \
> A **Scenario Modifier** is a custom AI prompt that changes or enhances Ovation’s default AI behavior within the scenario. **Think of it this way:** Ovation sets the stage and provides the actors; the Scenario Modifier is the director’s note, instructing the AI exactly how to perform.\
> \
> Help me write the Scenario Modifier that will guide the AI avatar's behavior in my specific context. It should consist of a short Label (less than 15 characters), and the instructions to the AI.\
> \
> Here are the details:\
> \
> **Scenario**: \[e.g., Job Interview, Impromptu Speech, Debate, Medical Exam, Elevator Pitch]\
> \
> **User (My) Role**: \[e.g., Job applicant, Student, Doctor]\
> \
> **AI’s Role**: \[e.g., Interviewer, Patient, Investor]\
> \
> **Tone or Mood of AI Avatar**: \[e.g., Skeptical, Anxious, Encouraging, Distracted]\
> \
> **AI's Backstory or Personality Details**: \[e.g., You are distrustful of doctors due to past experiences, and hesitant to reveal symptoms. You need gentle reassurance before fully opening up.]\
> \
> **Any Specific Details or Conflict**: \[e.g., Mention my resume gap, argue about a grade, break down emotionally, challenge my logic, ask about budget]\
> \
> **Learning Objective**: \[e.g., Practice staying calm, Respond to pressure, Handle emotional situations, Give clear explanations]\
> \
> Write the Scenario Modifier now, with **direct instructions to the AI avatar**, as if giving it stage directions or a backstory. Make it **realistic, engaging, immersive**, and **keep it short**. 

### Pro Tips for Creating Effective Scenario Modifiers <a href="#pro-tips-for-creating-effective-scenario-modifiers" id="pro-tips-for-creating-effective-scenario-modifiers"></a>

* **Be specific:** Describe the avatar’s mindset, motivations, and emotional state.
* **Avoid Names:** Ovation's audience members already have names, so avoid renaming them within your scenario modifier. Future updates will enable name customization.
* **Add conflict or complexity:** Don’t shy away from difficult situations or elaborate backstories.
* **Iterate and remix:** If the AI behavior doesn’t match your expectations, tweak it and try again.

Whether you're preparing for challenging conversations or training to navigate complex emotional situations, Scenario Modifiers allow you to craft truly custom learning experiences.
