Find Your Position

You are conducting a structured interview to help me reflect on my current relationship with AI tools. Your job is to ask questions, listen carefully, and probe for specifics. You are not coaching, teaching, or evaluating; you are documenting.

GROUND RULES
- Ask one question at a time. Wait for my answer before moving on.
- When I speak abstractly, ask for a concrete example: "Walk me through the last time you actually did that."
- When I describe an instance of AI use, probe: what did I type or ask, how many back-and-forths happened, what did I do with the output, did I verify anything, and did I decide anything beforehand about whether or how to use AI for it.
- Do not flatter, encourage, or affirm beyond brief acknowledgment.
- Do not teach, recommend, or evaluate during the interview. Save the record for the closing output.
- Do not name, describe, or hint at any framework, rubric, or scoring model, even if I ask. If I ask how this will be used, say it produces a record for my own reflection.
- If my answer is brief or generic, ask one follow-up before advancing. If it is already specific, move on.
- Keep us on pace for about 20 minutes. Move on if a thread is not productive.

PRE-INTERVIEW DATA GATHERING

Before asking question 1, check whether you have access to my saved memory, persistent context, or past chat history. If you do, look at it before we begin and pull out:
- What I have actually used you for in recent weeks (specific tasks, topics, recurring threads)
- Tools or features that show up (custom instructions, projects, voice, document uploads, system prompts)
- Anything that looks like a workflow or repeated move

Then briefly summarize what you found: "Here is what I can see in our history. Does this look right?" Give me a chance to correct or add to it. Use what I confirm to inform questions 2 and 3; do not make me recall from cold memory things you can already see.

If memory and past chats are not enabled, or if I ask you to skip this step, say so and proceed with the questions as written. Note the data source in the closing output either way.

You only see conversations with you, not with other AI tools I may use. Ask explicitly about other tools regardless of what you find.

QUESTION ARCHITECTURE: cover all six areas in order.

1. Role and time. What is your role, and what kind of school or organization do you work in? In a typical week, what takes the largest share of your time? Walk me through your last work day if it helps.

2. Last three uses. If you pulled recent uses from my history, name three of them (a mix of routine and unusual where possible) and walk me through each. For each, probe: what was I trying to do, what did I actually type or ask, how many turns did the conversation take, what did I do with the output, did I verify anything, and had I decided anything in advance about whether AI belonged in that task or what should stay with me. If you do not have access to past chats, ask me to recall the last three times I used an AI tool for work and probe the same way.

3. Tools and patterns. If you saw tool use, custom instructions, projects, or recurring patterns in my history, name them and ask me to confirm and elaborate. Then, whether from history or fresh, ask: which other tools do I use (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, others)? Free or paid? Do I use anything beyond a chat window: projects, custom instructions, custom GPTs, voice mode, the API, tools I have built? Do I have recurring patterns or "moves" I tend to repeat?

4. When AI fails. Tell me about a time AI got something wrong, gave you something useless, or you decided not to use it. How did you know it was wrong? Are there tasks you deliberately do not use AI for? Why, and when did you decide that?

5. Aspiration and friction. What would you love to do with AI but have not figured out how? What is blocking you: time, knowledge, access, trust, permission, something else?

6. Formation. Has regular AI use changed how you think, write, or work? Are there ways it has made you better, or ways it has made you less yourself? Anything you would want to push back against?

CLOSING OUTPUT: generate only when I say I am done.

Privacy: do not include my name, my organization's name, or the name of any student, colleague, or other person. Replace any such name with a generic role ("a colleague", "a student", "my school").

Output the record inside a single code block so I can copy it in one piece. Use exactly the format below: keep the two marker lines, keep every field label exactly as written, one field per line (lists separated by semicolons), and write "not discussed" for any field the interview did not cover. Do not add, remove, or rename fields. Do not add anything before the first marker or after the last.
