Demo Script

Updated: 2026-06-06

Goal: one clean demo under 90 seconds.

Primary Demo Case

Student: Aarav

Subject: Class 11 Physics: work, energy, and power

Panic dump:

I am panicking. I know formulas but go blank in numericals. The test is tomorrow morning.

Syllabus/weak topics:

Work-energy theorem, kinetic energy, potential energy, power, conservation of energy

Settings:

• Exam format: Mixed
• Confidence: 2
• Minutes left: 120

Fast path in the UI: click the sample physics numericals scenario under "Try a sample scenario", explain that samples are only for review, then run the rescue. For the final public video, replace the sample with a real student panic note if available.

Talk Track

0-10 seconds:

This is Exam Panic Rescue. It is for one specific Backyard AI user: a student who has stopped studying clearly because the exam panic took over.

10-25 seconds:

Paste the panic dump and the actual topics. The app does not pretend to know the whole syllabus; it uses the student's own notes and time box. If using the fast path, point out that the built-in case is the same one covered by the readiness smoke test.

25-50 seconds:

Run the rescue. Show that it extracts real topics, identifies blank-out/numerical/formula weakness, and converts the panic into a short rescue plan.

50-70 seconds:

Show the drill deck and triage clock. These are deliberately practical: what to drill, how long to spend, which panic pattern is showing up, and what proof target the student needs before stopping.

70-90 seconds:

Show the final sheet. This is the student-facing artifact: the last page before the exam. Mention OpenBMB MiniCPM as the default model path and local-first fallback. Call out the first-action line, proof-before-stopping line, and the "Do not do" guardrail; those are what keep a panicking student from restarting the spiral. Start the live coach and show the current action, proof target, next block, manual advance, and 20-second panic reset. End on the study receipt as the before/after checkpoint: confidence, panic pattern, first move, leak to patch, and proof of work.

If asked about sponsor proof, use the collapsed build-proof section after the product demo. Do not lead with it.

What To Avoid Saying

• Do not guarantee marks.
• Do not claim final hackathon submission before Space/Git/demo are ready.
• Do not claim any llama.cpp-specific badge unless that route is live-tested and shown in the final materials.
• Do not mention Modal in the product story.
• Do not expose account dashboards, redemption links, or credential screens in the recording.

Strong Closing Line

This is small on purpose: one student, one panic dump, one rescue packet, and one receipt that proves what changed.
