As custom AI assistants&nbsp;and natural-language&nbsp;design&nbsp;tools&nbsp;becomeincreasingly&nbsp;accessible, educators&nbsp;could&nbsp;guide students through participatory design sessions in which they co-create classroom assistants inspired by philosophical figures such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle and use them in engaging classrom sessions led by educators. These assistants would function as pedagogical characters for exploring multiple viewpoints, questioning assumptions, and making the logic, limits, and risks of AI visible. Grounded in Laurillard\u2019sConversational Framework, the&nbsp;proposal frames&nbsp;co-design as an iterative human-led process of dialogue, prompting, testing, feedback, and reflection, positioning educators as AI curators and student guardians who support critical thinking, AI literacy, and ethical responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keywords<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Generative&nbsp;AI;&nbsp;Participatory&nbsp;design;&nbsp;Human&nbsp;agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bibliografia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Laurillard,&nbsp;D.&nbsp;(2013).&nbsp;<em>Rethinking&nbsp;University&nbsp;Teaching:&nbsp;A&nbsp;Conversational&nbsp;Framework&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;Effective<\/em><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Use&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Learning&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Technologies&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em>(2nd&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ed).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Routledge.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(606935).&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/research.ebsco.com\/linkprocessor\/plink?id=8b1016f2-8153-3736-aad3-ea26a54f4724\">https:\/\/research.ebsco.com\/linkprocessor\/plink?id=8b1016f2-8153-3736-aad3-ea26a54f4724<\/a>&nbsp;Mollick,&nbsp;E.,&nbsp;&amp; Mollick,&nbsp;L.&nbsp;(2023).Assigning&nbsp;AI:&nbsp;Seven&nbsp;Approaches&nbsp;for&nbsp;Students,&nbsp;with&nbsp;Prompts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(arXiv:2306.10052).&nbsp;<em>arXiv<\/em>.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.48550\/arXiv.2306.10052\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.48550\/arXiv.2306.10052<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yang, Q., Steinfeld, A., Ros\u00e9, C., &amp; Zimmerman, J.
