First request

Draft a 120-word spoken welcome for adult beginners.
Use only the confirmed facts above. Say [TO CONFIRM] for Wi-Fi details.
Use plain language and short sentences. End by inviting questions.

Read

First output

Welcome to the Community Room. We are glad you are here. You may use your own device or borrow one from us. First, we will practise connecting safely and finding settings. Wi-Fi instructions are [TO CONFIRM]. You do not need prior experience. Please ask questions at any time.

Review and revision

Mira’s source supports the room and device choices, but not the promised first activity or “at any time.” She responds:

Remove the invented first activity and availability promise.
Keep the confirmed venue and device facts. End with “Questions are welcome.”

Revised output:

Welcome to the Community Room. We are glad you are here. You may bring your own device or borrow one. Wi-Fi instructions are [TO CONFIRM]. No prior experience is expected. We will work step by step, and questions are welcome.

Mira confirms the wording with the workshop plan, fills the Wi-Fi detail only after the venue replies, and approves the final script.

Page assessment

Answer from memory. Completion is saved from this evidence, not from opening the next page.

At which step did the AI stop and Mira’s accountability begin? Explain why “every step” is a defensible answer.

1. What is one idea from this page you would apply, and what evidence would you check?
