Exercise: Build your first Assistant

This is a short exercise to provide hands-on experience with Artificial Assistants and it's tools.

By completing this exercise, you will gain experience with:

1. Reference the Digital Twin in the instructions
2. Create inputs and materials and reference them in your instructions 
3. Add a callout, media link, and user field 
4. Adjust camera angles 

If you want to revisit these concepts, please review how to create an Assistant.

Instructions

This exercise aims to create an Assistant linked to "your first Digital Twin" described here. The resulting Assistant should look similar to the image below.


It is okay to make the Assistant with another lab. These are just some common instructions used as an example.

To do this, you will:

1. Create an input to represent your sample count 
2. Create the following materials:
   1. Tip boxes in which the quantity is static (1) and loaded onto a carrier
   2. Buffer #1 in which:
      1. The quantity is dynamic and is calculated based on the number of inputs and has a dead volume of 50ml
      2.  The location is a trough on the deck 
3. Create instructions to:
   1. Load tip boxes onto your liquid handler with an embedded media (link for use: https://i.imgur.com/L3wuqqA.jpg)
   2. Fill a reagent through with Buffer #1
      
      1. Add a callout to remind the user to record the lot #
      2. Add a user field for the Lot #
