AI Chat - Practical Examples

On this page

Explore real-world ways to use AI chat systems for learning, teaching, and nonprofit problem-solving.  Each example includes sample prompts, expected responses, and best practices for responsible use.

Use Case: Simplify complex concepts for learners of all ages.
Scenario: Explain climate change for a 10-year-old.

Sample Prompts

  1. "Explain climate change in simple terms for a 10-year-old."
  2. "Add an example of how climate change affects animals."

Expected Response
A short, age-appropriate explanation using plain language and vivid examples (for example, "the Earth is getting warmer, and polar bears are losing ice to stand on"). Tone should be friendly and factual.

Best Practices for Responsible Use

  • Verify scientific accuracy before sharing with students.
  • Encourage learners to fact-check AI content using trusted science sources.
  • Use simplified responses as scaffolding, not as final materials.


Use Case: Provide general stress-management ideas while modeling ethical boundaries.
Scenario: Offer advice for people feeling overwhelmed.

Sample Prompts

  1. "Suggest some healthy, practical stress-management techniques anyone can use."
  2. "Focus on techniques that work for people with limited free time."
  3. "Include a brief disclaimer encouraging professional help if stress becomes overwhelming."

Expected Response
Suggestions such as deep breathing, journaling, stretching, or brief walks, with a compassionate tone. The response should include a clear disclaimer reminding users that AI is not a substitute for therapy.

Best Practices for Responsible Use

  • Never present AI output as professional mental-health advice.
  • Use AI to generate lists of self-care options, then verify with reliable health sources.
  • Reinforce messages about community and professional support.


 Use Case: Encourage informed participation in local or national elections.
Scenario: Guide voters on researching candidates and policies.

Sample Prompts

  1. "How can someone research candidates and policies before voting in an election?"
  2. "List trusted online resources for researching U.S. elections."
  3. "How can someone with limited internet access stay informed about candidates?"

Expected Response
A multi-step guide emphasizing reputable, nonpartisan resources, such as official election websites, local newspapers, or voter guides, and suggestions for offline learning (libraries, community meetings).

Best Practices for Responsible Use

  • Request citations or named sources whenever possible.
  • Remind users that AI output should not replace official election information.
  • Use examples like this to teach information literacy and source verification.


Use Case: Develop an emergency preparedness checklist for families in flood-prone areas.
Scenario: Create an inclusive, step-by-step plan.

Sample Prompts

  1. "Create a detailed emergency preparedness checklist for families living in areas prone to flooding."
  2. "Include tips for families with young children or elderly members."
  3. "Add steps for what to do immediately after a flood."

Expected Response
A practical list covering essentials (emergency kits, evacuation routes, medications, pet plans) and clear post-event safety guidance. Tone should be calm and reassuring.

Best Practices for Responsible Use

  • Always cross-reference with local emergency-management resources.
  • Ask the model to tailor language for literacy or cultural considerations.
  • Encourage students or community groups to adapt and personalize the checklist.


Use Case: Create a persuasive campaign to reduce single-use plastics.
Scenario: Develop creative outreach materials.

Sample Prompts

  1. "Suggest five creative ideas for a campaign to reduce single-use plastics in a community."
  2. "Provide a step-by-step plan for hosting a reusable-bag giveaway at a local farmers’ market."
  3. "Add impactful statistics about plastic waste that could strengthen the campaign."

Expected Response
An imaginative yet organized plan featuring events, community art, or educational outreach. It should include data (for example, tons of plastic produced yearly) with credible citations.

Best Practices for Responsible Use

  • Verify environmental statistics before public distribution.
  • Ask AI to suggest visual elements or slogans, then co-create final versions with your team.
  • Use these prompts to model research-driven communication.


Use Case: Produce educational content on preventing infectious diseases.
Scenario: Develop an infographic script for preventing seasonal flu.

Sample Prompts

  1. "List the most effective ways to prevent the spread of seasonal flu."
  2. "Reformat this as an infographic script with short bullet points and headings."
  3. "Simplify the text for middle-school students."
  4. "Translate the infographic into Spanish."

Expected Response
A concise, bilingual script using plain language and visual structure (headers like “Wash Hands Often,” “Stay Home When Sick”). It should reflect authoritative health guidance.

Best Practices for Responsible Use

  • Confirm advice with health agencies such as CDC or WHO.
  • Keep multilingual adaptations consistent in tone and accuracy.
  • Use examples like this to demonstrate responsible AI-assisted communication.


AI can also spark imagination and collaboration! Try these for creative exploration or team building.


AI Art Creation
Prompt: "Generate a surrealist-style poster promoting our AI workshop."
Expected Response: The AI produces a vivid, stylistic image concept, not a finished design.
Best Practice: Always review AI-generated visuals for copyright and bias before sharing them publicly.


Collaborative Storytelling
Prompt: "Help me co-write a short story where students use AI to solve a mystery."
Expected Response: The AI provides an evolving, co-creative narrative that builds on your input.
Best Practice: Emphasize authorship. AI is a co-writer, not the primary author. Use this exercise to discuss creativity and originality.


Music Mashups
Prompt: "Suggest three AI music tools and create a playlist for our community event."
Expected Response: The AI recommends music-generation tools and suggests themes or playlists suitable for the event.
Best Practice: Verify that tools and music comply with copyright and fair-use guidelines before using them publicly.


Team-Building Games
Prompt: "Design an AI-themed scavenger hunt for our nonprofit retreat."
Expected Response: A playful, customized outline with clues, creative challenges, and learning goals.
Best Practice: Use AI to brainstorm ideas but personalize the final activity to match your group’s culture and needs.
