Plan 2: Make It Useless¶

"Fine," said Wobble. "I'll just keep Boop from being useful. If he can't actually DO anything, he's just a chatbot. Nobody will care."

Sam smiled. "I'll give Boop tools."

Sam gave Boop a toolbox with about 16 tools in it. Three favorites that show what kinds of jobs Boop can do:

• 🔎 Find things — search through lots of stuff at once.
• ✏️ Make things — write new files and edit existing ones.
• 🌐 Reach out — look things up on the web.

(Plus a bunch more — Boop has a full toolbox.)

Each tool does ONE thing well, and Boop's job is to pick the right one. Like a good carpenter — hammer for nails, screwdriver for screws.

Wobble's second plan: foiled.
