Using Grok for simulated chats with an interlocuter in 7 possible roles

 OTHER than the Deep Search, and Think functions, Grok has a function which simulates a conversation between 2 people. 

Grok provides 7 roles for the interlocuter: Examples: A counsellor; a close friend; ... 

Below is an example I have just had with this function:

shall we have this chat in English?

Absolutely, let's switch to English! I'm here to listen and support you with whatever's on your mind. How are you feeling right now? Is there something specific you'd like to talk about?

I don't exactly have a specific topic to talk about.

That’s totally okay! Sometimes just having a space to explore whatever’s floating around in your mind can be really helpful. It sounds like you might be in a place where things are a bit open-ended or maybe you’re just taking a moment to pause and reflect. I’m happy to sit with you in that space.

Maybe we could start by checking in with how you’re feeling today—any emotions or thoughts bubbling up, even if they’re vague? Or if you’d like, I could suggest a gentle way to explore what’s on your mind, like reflecting on something that’s been sparking your curiosity or interest lately. What do you think?

I felt psyched up after a former student in university, now a lecturer in another university, called me to give me an update about this work.

That sounds really energizing! Getting a call from a former student who’s now a lecturer and hearing about their work must feel like such a meaningful connection. It’s amazing how those moments can spark such a great vibe. Can you tell me a bit more about what got you so psyched up? Was it something specific they shared, or just the joy of reconnecting and seeing their progress?

he's now becoming an expert in computer assisted language learning, which happens to be my interested area as well.

That’s so exciting! It must feel incredibly rewarding to hear that your former student is not only thriving but diving deep into computer-assisted language learning, an area you’re passionate about too. It’s like seeing a piece of your own enthusiasm reflected back in their journey. What was it about the update that really lit you up? Did they share something specific about their work, like a project or breakthrough, that resonated with you? And how does it feel to see someone you once taught carving out their own path in a field you both love?
