Flipped Interaction
Flipped Interaction
Purpose
The Flipped Interaction pattern allows the AI to take the lead in a conversation by asking questions and steering the dialogue. This is useful for exploring topics in an open-ended way or when trying to source insights from yourself.
How it Works
Instead of the user asking questions, the AI takes the initiative, posing questions to explore different facets of a topic. This can simulate a coaching session or an exploratory dialogue.
Example
- Prompt: “Ask me questions to help me understand my motivations for this project.”
- AI Response: Asks questions aimed at uncovering deeper motivations, such as, “What do you hope to achieve by completing this project?”
How to Use
- Define the Topic: Specify the area or topic you want to explore.
- Prompt for AI-Led Questions: Ask the AI to lead by questioning, focusing on uncovering insights.
- Engage in the Dialogue: Respond to the AI’s questions, allowing it to steer the conversation further.
Practical Tips
- Use for Self-Reflection: Ideal for personal development or self-reflection exercises.
- Prompt for Open-Ended Questions: Encourage the AI to ask open-ended questions that provoke thought.
- Combine with Personas: Assign a persona to the AI, like a coach or advisor, to tailor the questioning style.
- Specify how much it should follow up: Give the AI some sense of how deeply it should probe into complex issues before continuing on.
Watch Outs
- Lack of Focus: The AI’s questions may veer off-topic, so guide it back if needed.
- Superficial Questions: Some questions might be shallow or generic; feel free to redirect for depth.
- Limited Depth: The AI may not probe deeply enough on complex issues without prompting.
Creative Use Cases
- For Coaching: Use to simulate a coaching session with AI-led questions.
- For Writers: Engage the AI in exploring new angles on a topic.
Related Patterns
- Persona: Use with Persona to give the AI a specific role, like a therapist or teacher, during interaction.
- Context Manager: Provide context for the AI to frame its questions appropriately.
