The Story First Design Learning Advisor GPT chatbot blends Cathy Moore’s action mapping framework—which starts with a measurable goal and works backward to identify the key actions learners need to take—with a storytelling layer that uncovers the deeper context: the motivations, tensions, and consequences surrounding those actions. This combined approach doesn’t just identify what people need to do, it helps clarify why it matters and how it plays out in real life. The result is a learning experience that’s both practical and meaningful. After about 10 minutes working with this learning advisor, you’ll have a macro design anchored in a realistic story tailored to your audience.
