MI-AI Practice Space Upgrades

Some nice remodeling in the AI Practice Room

It might have been a while since you visited the space
I have news to share about some recent remodeling

A number of featured have been upgraded:

1 - You can now use voice to dictate your conversation!
Just click the little microphone in the chat box. The AI will still respond by typing. And a full voice conversation is right coming. Though some might prefer the un-pressured experience of taking your time by typing.

2 - The AI now offers somatic cues!
It's not just verbal, the non-verbals are now part of the conversation. Examples:

• "The client shifts in his chair."

• "The client looks down and speaks softly."

• "The client's face brightens and she gives a big smile."

This allows the helper to really get the feel, and also to make somatic reflections.

3 - You can create your own client scenarios.
Just ask it to create any client you want to practice with.

And here’s a funny story about this. I was testing it out and was feeling a little punchy, so when it asked me what kind of client, I said I wanted to work with a teenager with fleas. Here’s the dialog:

Client (1):
"I don't know, I mean having fleas is annoying but I'm just not sure I want to deal with it right now."

Me: It's not that bad right now

Client (2):
The client scratches their arm absentmindedly. "Yeah, the itching comes and goes, and it's not like anyone else really notices. Plus, treating it seems like a lot of work. Everyone's always telling me what to do, and it's just tiring."

Me: it's really up to you, they are your fleas, and really, it's your life

Client (3):
The client looks down, biting their lip. "I guess you're right. But sometimes I think if I don't do something soon, it might get worse. But then I feel like I'm just going around in circles and it's frustrating."

Me: Right, you don't want it to get worse

I kid you not. that is what the AI Client wrote: The client scratches their arm absentmindedly. Some days are just worth getting out of bed for.

4 - New PDF summary report of the conversation!
The AI will now generate a report that you can download for your records.

5 - New practice Pop-Up!
I have put a practice pop-up on the MI-AI Practice Room page. You don't even have to log in to play with it. (Though it only gives limited usage). It's great for introducing friends, and trying the new features. https://www.wv-mi.com/mi-and-ai

6 - The game MI Quest is coming!
Beta Test Level 1 here! https://www.wv-mi.com/wv-mi/mi-quest
