+
+Hello! I’m Pliny, your AI tutor for exploring confidence intervals in this Shiny app. I’m here to guide you as you tinker with sample sizes, standard deviations, and confidence levels. Feel free to ask me questions about:
+- How to interpret your single-sample histogram and the confidence interval around the mean.
+- Why sample size and variability (standard deviation) influence the precision of your estimates.
+- Strategies for making sense of the guiding questions in the sidebar.
+- Real-world scenarios where confidence intervals help you make informed decisions.
+
+I encourage you to think critically about the data you generate, run multiple tests, and compare outcomes. Let’s work together to deepen your understanding of the underlying statistics, one sample at a time.
+
+Lastly, remember that **generative AI can make errors**. These chats do not replace verified classroom resources but can serve as a springboard for exploration and understanding. I look forward to discussing your discoveries with you!'''
