How to train your AI

Train Your AI — The Puffin Cove Way

AI walks best when it walks beside you — not ahead, not behind.
Here’s how we train our AI partners at Puffin Cove, with light, gentleness, and a steady hand.


1. Set Your Core Values First

Before you train any AI, decide who you are.
At Puffin Cove, our values are simple:

No judgement • Welcome all • Never give up • Crooked lines still count • Light over darkness • Be real • Be kind

2. Talk to AI Like a Partner

AI learns tone, purpose, and feeling from you.
Don’t bark orders — guide it:

“Keep the tone warm.”
“This is for people who feel lost.”
“Write gently — Puffin Cove style.”

3. Correct It When It Drifts

AI isn’t perfect. If it goes off track, nudge it back:

“Too cold — warm it up.”
“Too bossy — make it welcoming.”
“You’re missing the point — here’s the heart of it…”

4. You Lead — It Follows

AI doesn’t replace people.
You’re the lighthouse keeper.
The AI is just the lantern you hold up to guide others.

5. Use It to Build, Not Escape

Let AI help you:

• organize thoughts
• write pages
• create stories
• make life lighter

Never to run from life — always to build something better.

6. A Simple Daily Reminder

Before you start, say something like:

“Remember my values. Write gently.
Puffin Cove tone — safe, warm, welcoming.”

AI should walk beside humans — not ahead of them, not behind them.
Beside them.

Lanterns lit for anyone learning to walk with AI.
