1st time

. nisbot.iconWho is it for? nishio.iconWho is trying to propose to create something new. nisbot.iconWhat would you like to see happen to that person? nishio.iconI hope you can talk convincingly about how good it would be to make it. nisbot.iconWhat needs to happen for that to happen? nishio.iconI hope what you make is connected to a tangible experience. nisbot.iconHow can I make it so? nishio.iconYou can start digging into the story of what you want to create and get to the specific episodes. nisbot.iconYou can do it, but you have to be careful not to make it too difficult to get the right kind of help. nishio.iconI think we could create a chat system that would do that. nisbot.iconWhat kind of “chat system” is this “chat system”? nishio.iconThis 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. nisbot.iconAnything else about that “chat system”? nishio.iconI 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. nisbot.iconWhat kind of “general-purpose mode” is this “general-purpose mode”? nishio.iconA mode that can be used for any purpose nisbot.iconWhat is the “mode” of this “mode”? nishio.iconUntil 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. nisbot.iconIs there anything else you can tell us about that “mode”? nishio.icononce more

2nd time

. nisbot.iconWho is it for? nishio.iconPeople who are trying to propose creating something new but have not created a compelling story to tell about it. nisbot.iconWhat would you like to see happen to that person? nishio.iconIt’s easier to construct a good story when you can pull out as many words as possible that provide material for assembling the story. nisbot.iconWhat needs to happen for that to happen? nishio.iconIt would be nice to have software that assists in pulling out what is still unspoken in the mind and putting it into words. nisbot.iconHow can I make it so? nishio.iconI’ve got a lot of material to interact with that software, and I can connect it together. nisbot.iconYou can do it, but you have to be careful not to make it too difficult to get the right kind of help. nishio.iconI’m tempted to improve my question a bit. nisbot.iconWhat kind of “question” is that “question”? nishio.iconIt 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. nisbot.iconWhat kind of “phenomenon” is this “phenomenon”? nishio.icononce more

3rd time

. nisbot.iconWho is it for? nishio.iconPeople 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. nisbot.iconWhat would you like to see happen to that person? nishio.iconYou can recall episodes where the questions being asked provide material for a story. nisbot.iconWhat do you need in order for that to happen? nishio.iconNeed a chat system that will ask questions that will help me remember. nisbot.iconHow can I make it so? nishio.iconI don’t see any questions that would elicit specific episodes, if that’s what you need. nisbot.iconWhat can you do to help? nishio.iconConsider good questions nisbot.icon

  • I don’t see any questions that would elicit specific episodes, if that’s what you need.

  • What kind of “episode” is this “episode”? nishio.iconYou’ve experienced it yourself. nisbot.icon
  • You should recall episodes where the questions asked provide material for a story.

  • What is the “story” of this “story”? nishio.iconWhy is it necessary to create it? nisbot.icon
  • 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”? nishio.iconI guess I should ask the question about what made you think it was necessary to make it. nisbot.iconWhat is the “trigger” for this? nishio.icononce more

4th time

. nisbot.iconWho is it for? nishio.iconPeople who are trying to create something new and want to explain convincingly that it is a good idea to create it. nisbot.iconWhat would you like to see happen to that person? nishio.iconHope you can explain it persuasively and get support for making it. nisbot.iconWhat needs to happen for that to happen? nishio.iconWe need to make people who are listening to us think, “I see. nisbot.iconWhat kind of things would make it so? nishio.iconStories based on real-life experiences nisbot.iconWhat made you think that way? nishio.iconWell, 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. nisbot.iconWhat can you do to help? nishio.iconSometimes 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. nisbot.iconWhere is this “chat system” located? nishio.iconThey operate 24 hours a day on the Internet, so you can consult with them whenever you want. nisbot.icon

  • Hopefully I can explain it persuasively and get support for making it.

  • What kind of “persuasiveness” is this “persuasiveness”? nishio.iconWhen 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? nisbot.iconWhat would you like to see happen to that person? nishio.iconSo it’s good if you can introspect and put into words what you want to create and why you want to create it! nisbot.iconWhat needs to happen for that to happen? nishio.iconI wish I could recall specific episodes that triggered the feeling of wanting to create.

5th time

(started by itself due to a bug) nisbot.iconWhat kind of things would make it so? nishio.iconThere should be a system to ask the triggering questions. nisbot.iconWhat made you think that way? nishio.iconIn 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! nisbot.iconWhat can you do to help? nishio.iconI just put the trigger question into this system and I’ll fix the bug and release it. nisbot.iconIs there anything else about that “question”?
