Give Directions

Discipline: FIELDWORK · Trains: Speaking (+ Listening)

Talk an AI agent to its destination on a live map using only your spoken directions.

A practical fluency drill: you guide an AI agent to a destination on a live map, using nothing but spoken directions. It builds clear, sequential, spatial language — and the ability to adjust when the listener gets confused.

A Give Directions session with a live map

How a session goes​

  1. Open Give Directions and pick a scenario. You'll see a map with the agent's start and its destination.
  2. The agent asks which way to go; you speak your directions ("go straight, then turn left at the lights…").
  3. The agent moves on the map as it follows you. If it's unsure, it asks — and you clarify.
  4. The session ends when the agent arrives (or gives up). Your result rates how clear and effective your guidance was.

What's scored​

The clarity and accuracy of your directions and how well you adapted when the agent was confused — practical, listener-aware speaking.

Tips​

  • Sequence it: one instruction at a time, with landmarks ("past the bank", "at the second corner").
  • Watch the map — it tells you instantly whether you were understood.
  • Precise spatial vocabulary (opposite, adjacent, until you reach…) is exactly the range this rewards.
