The AI Assistant should be designed to help someone who has recently moved into the locality learn about important aspects of the area. It can provide information about popular local food and where to find it, identify local plants and trees, recognize local birds and animals, share information about places of historic or tourist interest, help with local greetings and common phrases, provide information about local music and dance forms, and answer questions about local customs and practices. The specific function depends on the categories chosen by the student for their project.
