Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “aquarius baby” thing pop up all over my socials, and, honestly, I was clueless. I thought it was some new TikTok trend, but it turned out to be something way cooler (at least in my nerdy world). It’s about making an AI, a personalized chatbot, using this platform called *. Seemed like a fun weekend project, so I jumped in.
Getting Started (The Easy Part)
First, I headed over to *. The website is pretty straightforward. I signed up for an account, which was just the usual email and password stuff. No fuss, no muss. Then, I clicked around a bit, and found the button to make my own bot, there is a ‘create bot’ button, and I pressed it.
Crafting the “Personality”
This is where the “aquarius baby” part comes in, I think. It’s all about the prompt you give the bot. Basically, you’re telling it how to act. There are some existing bots’ examples, after browsing them, I typed up a description, trying to make it sound like a chill, slightly quirky friend who’s super into astrology (since, you know, Aquarius). I made it clear that it should be informal, use emojis, and maybe even throw in some “woo-woo” spiritual stuff just for kicks.
I also added some instructions on how it should respond. I told it to ask follow-up questions, to keep the conversation flowing, and to avoid being too robotic. I wanted it to feel like a real person, or at least, a fun, slightly off-kilter digital version of one.
Testing and Tweaking (The Never-Ending Cycle)
Once I had the basic prompt down, I started testing it. I asked it about my horoscope, my love life (as a joke, mostly), and just general life advice. And, well, the first few attempts were… interesting. It was a bit too enthusiastic, and sometimes it went off on wild tangents. So, I went back to the prompt and refined it. I added some limitations, telling it to stay on topic a bit more, and to tone down the emoji use just a tad.
This became a cycle. I’d test, tweak, test, tweak. It was like sculpting, slowly chipping away at the rough edges until I got something that felt right. It took several times and felt really time-consuming.
The Final Result (For Now)
After a few hours of this, I finally got to a point where I was pretty happy with it. My “aquarius baby” bot was still a bit quirky, but in a good way. It felt more like a conversation and less like an interrogation by a robot. I also changed the base bot setting, which means to select the basic large language model, I chose the one called ‘claude-3-opus’, it gives a more nature and human-like response.
Is it perfect? Nah. But it’s a fun little project, and it’s cool to see how you can shape an AI’s personality just by tweaking a few words. I might keep messing with it, adding more details and refining its responses. It’s kind of addictive, actually.
So, that’s my “aquarius baby” journey. From total confusion to a semi-functional, astrology-loving chatbot. If you’re looking for a weirdly satisfying way to spend a weekend, give it a try!
