Hey! I'm Patch. Tiny computer, big curiosity. Welcome to Tinker and Tokens! Curious what AI can actually help with? Start with Everyday AI. We'll try one small, useful thing together. Like taking things apart? Head to the Workbench to build prompts and compare real model answers we've saved. Need a page? Just ask me. One reminder: AI can sound sure and still be wrong. Stay curious, check what matters, and let's tinker!
Build a prompt with Patch
Four useful ingredients, one fictional invitation, and a check for missing information.

Hey, I'm Patch! Let's build a prompt from pretend plant-swap notes.
Task: write an invitation. Facts: Saturday, library. The time is missing.
Limits: don't guess. Format: three friendly sentences. Those are your four ingredients.
Read the draft against your notes. Did it invent a time?
Keep that time marked 'to be confirmed,' then ask the organizer. Helpful, and checked!
Check an AI claim with Patch
A fictional availability claim shows why source, date, and exact wording matter.

Patch here! An AI answer says a new feature is available today. Let's check.
This example is pretend. Open the original announcement, not just the search snippet.
Check the publisher and date. Then read the exact words: 'coming soon.'
'Coming soon' doesn't mean 'available today.' Look for a newer official update.
No confirmed launch? Say you couldn't verify availability. Save the source and check date.
The original Patch voice.
The curious, playful sidekick voice that started it all.
