Listening Chat System

2021-09-10 In order to create a new version of the explanation Keichobot, a chatbot that brings out your ideas, we decided to keep the old version here

This is a system that assists humans in putting into words "thoughts that have not yet been clearly verbalized" and encourages awareness.

Specifically.

• The program and a human chat with each other
• The program extracts key phrases from human statements and asks questions about them
• When people are asked questions, they think more concretely, from a different perspective, and their thinking develops.
• Repeating this will turn vague thoughts in your brain into an observable chat log!
• Often in this process, I realize that I have assumed something or made an oversight by thinking only from a particular point of view!

How to operate

• Screen Example

    • There is no account registration.
  • The program begins by asking you, "What would you like to see happen in this conversation?" and asks you, "What would you like to see happen in this conversation?
    • You answer it and the conversation begins!

      • What would you like to see happen in this conversation?
      • I want to explain how to operate the system.
      • What type of commentary is that commentary?

Tips on how to expand on a story

• One of the best tips for getting a conversation going between people is to Answer, Add, Ask. This means that you not only answer the other person's question, but also add additional information and then ask the other person back.
• In this chat system, the program asks the questions. So you answer the questions, add more information, and expand the conversation.
• If the program's question is out of line with what you want to talk about, you can direct the topic by adding more information than the answer to the question. The program decides that words that come up repeatedly are important to you.

Image of usage

• For example, when you think, "Hmmm, what should I do about X?", you can talk to this system on your smartphone while taking a walk and say, "I want to organize about X" and interact with it.
