Hi John, thank you for sharing this fascinating approach to leveraging AI for low-stakes, high-availability practice in education. Your example of using virtual patients for medical training is inspiring, and the detailed steps you provided to build the interview practice tool are incredibly helpful. I’m especially drawn to how this can increase student confidence while reducing costs and logistical challenges.

I’ll definitely explore creating something similar! For now, I’ve been using ChatGPT’s customization options to create chatbots, but your approach with AI MicroApps has me thinking of the possibilities. I wanted to ask:

- Is there a way to collect user input (e.g., for analysis or to improve the tool) using the chatbot framework you described?

- If I have about 500 users for my app, do you have an estimate of what the usage cost might be, considering the approximate cost of $0.03 per run using GPT-4?

With that volume of users, do you recommend building and deploying the app from a local machine, or would hosting it via GitHub suffice?

I know I could do more research on these questions, but I thought checking with you might provide the most accurate and practical insights.

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! Looking forward to your thoughts.

Best regards,

Minh
