The big idea
Whether it's coming out, a failing grade, or a problem you're scared to share, AI role-play lets you rehearse the tough version of the conversation safely.
Some examples
- Prompt: 'Role-play as a parent reacting badly to this news, then again reacting well'
- Ask Claude to suggest the opening line that lowers temperature
- Have ChatGPT play your parent's specific concerns ('what about your future?')
- Use AI to draft what to say if the conversation goes sideways
Try it!
Pick one conversation you've been avoiding. Spend 15 minutes role-playing both directions with Claude. Notice how your real opener changes.
