Who is it for?
Who is trying to propose to create something new.
What would you like to see happen to that person?
I hope you can talk convincingly about how good it would be to make it.
What needs to happen for that to happen?
I hope what you make is connected to a tangible experience.
How can I make it so?
You can start digging into the story of what you want to create and get to the specific episodes.
You can do it, but you have to be careful not to make it too difficult to get the right kind of help.
I think we could create a chat system that would do that.
What kind of "chat system" is this "chat system"?
This chat system asks a human a question and then pulls the words out of the human by twisting the human's head to answer it.
Anything else about that "chat system"?
I personally have been using it conveniently in the general-purpose mode, but the general-purpose mode seems to be difficult for new users to understand how to use it, so I am creating a purpose-specific mode.
What kind of "general-purpose mode" is this "general-purpose mode"?
A mode that can be used for any purpose
What is the "mode" of this "mode"?
Until the specialized mode was created, there was only one mode, but then the questions were too abstract, so we limited the purpose and asked questions specific to that purpose.
Is there anything else you can tell us about that "mode"?

Who is it for?
People who are trying to propose creating something new but have not created a compelling story to tell about it.
What would you like to see happen to that person?
It's easier to construct a good story when you can pull out as many words as possible that provide material for assembling the story.
What needs to happen for that to happen?
It would be nice to have software that assists in pulling out what is still unspoken in the mind and putting it into words.
How can I make it so?
I've got a lot of material to interact with that software, and I can connect it together.
You can do it, but you have to be careful not to make it too difficult to get the right kind of help.
I'm tempted to improve my question a bit.
What kind of "question" is that "question"?
It would be nice if the last part was "can it be done". Also, the general tendency to lean toward "phenomena" rather than "things" may be too abstract.
What kind of "phenomenon" is this "phenomenon"?

.
Who is it for?
People who are trying to make something new and want to tell a compelling story about how it would be good to make it, but have not been able to create a story that leads to a specific episode.
What would you like to see happen to that person?
You can recall episodes where the questions being asked provide material for a story.
What do you need in order for that to happen?
Need a chat system that will ask questions that will help me remember.
How can I make it so?
I don't see any questions that would elicit specific episodes, if that's what you need.
What can you do to help?
Consider good questions
I don't see any questions that would elicit specific episodes, if that's what you need.
- What kind of "episode" is this "episode"?
You've experienced it yourself.
You should recall episodes where the questions asked provide material for a story.
- What is the "story" of this "story"?
Why is it necessary to create it?
I don't see any questions that would elicit specific episodes, if that's what you need.
- Is there anything else you can tell us about this "episode"?
I guess I should ask the question about what made you think it was necessary to make it.
What is the "trigger" for this?

Who is it for?
People who are trying to create something new and want to explain convincingly that it is a good idea to create it.
What would you like to see happen to that person?
Hope you can explain it persuasively and get support for making it.
What needs to happen for that to happen?
We need to make people who are listening to us think, "I see.
What kind of things would make it so?
Stories based on real-life experiences
What made you think that way?
Well, as a mentor for the Junior Unexplored Program, I read many people's proposals, and the proposals that seem to be made by piecing together articles from the Internet don't seem at all interesting to me. You don't have to be that person to say that. If the story is connected to the person's personal experience, I get a sense of what they are talking about.
What can you do to help?
Sometimes I ask them in interviews, but since the number of people I can call for an interview is limited, I end up losing about 90% of them in the application screening process, and I feel sorry for them if they come up if I ask them, but they have never been asked those questions and couldn't think of anything to write in their proposals. But I can't ask all 100 of them, so I thought it would be a good idea to add a new specialized mode to this listening chat system.
Where is this "chat system" located?
They operate 24 hours a day on the Internet, so you can consult with them whenever you want.
Hopefully I can explain it persuasively and get support for making it.
- What kind of "persuasiveness" is this "persuasiveness"?
When people say, "This is why we need to make it," and the reason for making it is hearsay, not personal experience, I ask, "Are you sure about that? I get a "Really?
What would you like to see happen to that person?
So it's good if you can introspect and put into words what you want to create and why you want to create it!
What needs to happen for that to happen?
I wish I could recall specific episodes that triggered the feeling of wanting to create.
5th time
(started by itself due to a bug)
What kind of things would make it so?
There should be a system to ask the triggering questions.
What made you think that way?
In the first half of this chat, I tried to answer the questions I made based on the Cookpad Value Hypothesis sheet, but the conversation wandered into the abstract and didn't turn into a concrete story at all!
What can you do to help?
I just put the trigger question into this system and I'll fix the bug and release it.
Is there anything else about that "question"?
