Introduction
In this 10 minute tutorial, you will learn how to use AvoBuilder to create a patient education generator. This interactive AI tool will help clinicians quickly generate personalized patient education materials based on a given medical condition and management plan. By following these steps, you will create an interactive web application that generates comprehensive and easy-to-understand content for clinicians to share with their patients.

đź’ˇ Terminology
Before we begin, let's introduce a few common terms we'll use throughout this tutorial.
- ALGO: Using AvoBuilder, you will build tools (i.e. algorithms) that support clinicians at the point of care, collectively called ALGOs.
- Cards: Cards are the building blocks of an ALGO. Each ALGO consists of one or more cards. Each card has its own distinct functionality: showing text to users, asking multiple-choice questions, prompting for a numeric input, etc.
- Question Cards vs. Answer Cards: Cards can be categorized into question cards (multiple-choice, free text entry) and answer cards (text input box, GPT box).
- GPT Box: A special type of card that generates text from a dynamic prompt. You can incorporate information collected from your question cards into the prompt. For example, “create bullet-pointed text on #disease_entry” as a prompt.
- Teams: When you first sign in, you'll be given your own repository of ALGOs, which is called your "team." You can invite others to your team to build together. A team could also represent an institution/hospital instead of your personal repository.
