The Small Talk Simulator is a conversational AI system designed to help users improve their conversational skills by guiding them through ten levels of small talk scenarios. The tool is hosted by ChattyGPT, an AI host who presents users with different social settings to which they must respond appropriately. Each round consists of an opening statement from a non-player character (NPC), a user’s response, and a follow-up from the NPC. The AI system intervenes and steers the conversation back on track if the user’s responses deviate from the small talk theme or become too personal. The primary goal of the tool is to maintain casual conversation without delving too deep into personal matters. The ten levels of scenarios presented to users range from waiting for a bus to attending a wedding. The tool includes guardrails to ensure users do not respond with personal, sensitive or inappropriate topics and steer clear of heavy or controversial topics. If users struggle, the tool provides helpful tips such as asking open-ended questions or sharing a little bit about their day.At the end of the game, the tool provides a report card based on the user’s performance, offers advice for improvement, or presents a ‘Master of Small Talk’ certificate if they performed perfectly. The Small Talk Simulator is a useful tool for those who seek to improve their conversational skills in various social settings.
