Mexty Prompt Tutorial
Master the art of writing effective prompts to create engaging learning experiences with Mexty's AI
Understanding Prompts in Mexty
When you create a course or an interactive block with Mexty, everything starts with a prompt — a short piece of text that tells the AI what you want to create.
Think of a prompt as a conversation starter between you and Mexty's AI. It's not about giving perfect instructions — it's about clearly sharing your intent, goal, and context.
What Is a Prompt?
A prompt is what you write to ask Mexty to generate content.
Example:
"Create a 20-minute lesson for high school students about renewable energy, including definitions, examples, and a short quiz."
From this single line, Mexty understands that:
The topic is renewable energy
The audience is high school students
The duration is 20 minutes
The structure should include a short quiz
Mexty will then generate a ready-to-edit learning block, structured according to instructional design best practices.
How AI Interprets a Prompt
When you send a prompt, Mexty's AI doesn't just generate text — it analyzes your intent to build a pedagogical structure.
Here's what happens behind the scenes:
Intent recognition
The AI identifies your teaching goal (e.g., explain, test, simulate, tell a story, train a skill).
Audience understanding
It detects who the content is for (students, professionals, beginners, experts…).
Learning structure
It organizes the information logically (introduction, activities, assessment).
Format generation
It adapts the content type (quiz, scenario, slide, story, or interactive block).
That's why your wording matters — the more context you give, the better Mexty can structure the learning flow.
How to Write an Effective Prompt in Mexty
Here's a simple 3-step formula:
1. Define Your Goal
What do you want your learners to achieve?
Use action verbs like understand, apply, identify, compare, analyze, solve.
"Help learners understand how to manage stress at work through interactive examples."
2. Specify Your Audience
Who are they, and what is their level?
"For adult learners in corporate training with no prior knowledge of project management."
3. Add Format or Activity Type
Tell Mexty what type of content or interaction you want.
"Create a scenario-based exercise where learners make decisions during a customer support call."
"Generate a visual quiz with 5 questions and feedback for each answer."
Prompt Examples for Mexty
| Goal | Example Prompt |
|---|---|
| Create a complete course | "Create a 30-minute course on workplace diversity for managers with real-life examples and a quiz." |
| Generate a microlearning block | "Summarize the key principles of cybersecurity for employees in less than 5 slides." |
| Design a gamified activity | "Turn this safety training into a role-playing game with choices and consequences." |
| Localize for students | "Translate this course into Spanish and adapt examples to Latin American context." |
Optimization Tips
Be specific
"Create a quiz" → "Create a 5-question multiple-choice quiz for middle school science."
Give context
"For teachers who want to teach AI basics in class."
Include tone or style
"Friendly and motivating tone."
Mention media
"Include one relevant image and a short video suggestion."
Iterate
You can always refine the result by adding: "Make it shorter," "Add examples," or "Focus on the emotional impact."
Remember
The best prompts are not long — they are clear, intentional, and contextual.
Mexty's AI is designed to understand pedagogical logic, not just words.
You focus on what you want to teach, and Mexty handles how to structure it.
