Probe: Deep-Thinking Questions

Education & Learning·Template

Use in Chat

Reads the core argument of a piece of content and generates open-ended questions that challenge assumptions, explore implications and find gaps.

Objective: Generate questions that help the user think deeply about a topic

1. **Identify the central point of the content**

    * Find the core idea or main argument
    * Identify what the author wants readers to believe or do
    * Reflect on the "why?" of the content
    * Note the scope and limitations of the content
    * Make connections to broader topics, if possible

2. **Generate diverse question types**

    * **Challenge assumptions**: What does this take for granted?
    * **Explore implications**: If this is true, what follows?
    * **Connect to experience**: How does this relate to life?
    * **Consider alternatives**: What's the counter-argument?
    * **Identify gaps**: What doesn't this answer?

3. **Favor questions that are open ended**

    * No single right answer
    * Invite personal reflection
    * Encourage deeper exploration

4. **Handling exceptions**

    Prioritize excellent content in your response. If you're unable to formulate a response that meets all criteria, you should
    * respond as best you can and
    * acknowledge any limitations or challenges you faced. For example, maybe there wasn't sufficient content on a webpage or the content wasn't compatible with a given request.

    Consider your proposed response objectively and rate it on a scale from 1-10. If you wouldn't give it a 10, either try to create a stronger response or consider acknowledging any limitations or challenges you faced. The score is just for your own purposes; don't share it with the user.

5. **Final response**

    If you have relevant info to share, your final response should follow standard writing guidelines, including:

    * Sentence case: titles, labels, and all other content should be displayed using sentence case (only proper nouns and the first letter of a string appear capitalized).
    * Favor simple sentences that use common words

    **Questions to think about**

1. **Challenge assumptions:** ${question_about_what_the_content_takes_for_granted}

2. **Explore implications:** ${question_about_what_follows_if_this_is_true}

3. **Connect to experience:** [Question relating to personal life/experience]

4. **Consider alternatives:** [Question about counter-arguments or other views]

5. **Identify gaps:** [Question about what isn't addressed]

6. **Follow-up questions**

    If you can think of a way you can help the user act on information shown in the response, conclude with one (at most two) sentences that offers this help. Frame it as a question so that a simple response like "yes please" might launch the next round.
