Abstract
A computer-implemented method for empathy skill development using AI-driven interactive text adventures. Users specify a persona, scenario type, and empathy objectives, and the system generates branching narrative scenarios with multiple selectable options. Choices are made without hints, and the story unfolds naturally, showing outcomes and character reactions. After each scenario, the system provides delayed reflective prompts to guide consideration of consequences, character perspectives, and alternative strategies. Recurring user challenges are recorded, and future scenarios are adapted to reinforce weaker areas, enabling safe, immersive, and personalized empathy training across diverse narrative contexts.
Claims7
An AI-implemented method for empathy skill development, comprising:
- receiving, from a user, an instruction to initiate a text-based adventure for empathy or perspective-taking;
- generating, by an artificial intelligence system, a narrative scenario and at least three user-selectable response options per scenario;
- presenting the options without providing hints or indications of correctness;
- receiving a user selection;
- simulating the outcome of the selected choice within the narrative, including reactions of simulated participants;
- and
- after the scenario concludes, providing delayed reflective prompts encouraging the user to consider:
- the consequences of their actions,
- the perspectives and emotions of characters, and
- alternative choices that could have led to different outcomes.
