Integrating Your AI Twin Into an Existing Platform
Overview
When your AI Twin needs context of a user’s journey through a platform or course, you can provide a “platform map” to help it understand your user experience and provide contextual assistance.
Your AI Twin can:
- Answer questions about specific parts of your platform
- Guide users through workflows and processes
- Provide contextual help based on where users are in their journey
- Handle common questions about navigation and features
Creating Your Platform Map
To be a helpful guide, your AI Twin needs a “mental map” of your website or platform. The best way to create this is to record a video explaining your platform as you would to a new team member.
Since your AI Twin cannot see the user’s screen, this video is its only source of truth. When a user tells your AI Twin where they are, it will use this knowledge to provide accurate help.
What You’ll Need
- A screen recording tool (Loom, QuickTime, etc.)
- A working microphone
- 15-30 minutes
Your 2-Part Recording Guide
Part 1: The Platform Map (The “Layout”)
Start with a high-level overview of your entire site or application. Click through every main page, tab, and navigation item.
As you show each page, state its name and purpose.
Example Narration:
“This is my main platform. There are 5 key areas.
- The Home Page explains the program and directs them to sign up.
- The ‘Modules’ Tab at the top is where all the video courses live.
- The ‘Onboarding’ Tab is the first place new users go. This is where they fill out their questionnaire.
- The ‘Community’ Tab links to our private group.
- The ‘Billing’ Page is where they can manage their subscription.”
Part 2: Common User Journeys (The “Flows”)
Now, walk through the 2-3 most common paths your users take. Act as a new user and narrate the process.
This teaches your AI Twin how to guide people through your system.
Example Narration:
“Most of my users come from my YouTube channel.
- They land on this sales page and click ‘Sign Up.’
- They go to the checkout page… a common question here is about our refund policy. The AI Twin should know it’s a 30-day guarantee.
- After paying, they are sent to the ‘Onboarding’ page to fill out the questionnaire.
- Users often get stuck on Question 3 of the questionnaire. The AI Twin should be able to explain that this question is optional.
- After the questionnaire, they land on the main ‘Modules’ dashboard.”
Uploading Your Platform Map
When you’re finished recording:
- Upload the video file to your dashboard content section
- Or upload to a shared drive (Google Drive, Dropbox) and add the link
- The platform map will be transcribed and used to train your AI Twin
This “map” is a critical piece of knowledge that helps your AI Twin provide accurate, contextual guidance to your users.
Best Practices
Be Specific
Include details about:
- Common user questions at each step
- Potential points of confusion
- How to handle errors or edge cases
- What your AI Twin should and shouldn’t say about each area
Keep It Updated
When you make significant changes to your platform:
- Record an update video explaining the changes
- Upload new content to keep your AI Twin current
- Test to ensure guidance is accurate
