1. Project Overview

Delphi allows you to create a digital representation of your mind to scale your presence. It is an entirely new form of media - one that is conversational. Unlike TV or a book, which are fixed, one-way broadcasts of information, Delphi is a multi-directional, interactive, personalized, and adaptive way to communicate.

While experts, authors, and influencers easily build clones using their existing content (e.g., blogs, videos, podcasts), most people lack enough external data to train a high-fidelity clone of themselves.

Interview Mode solves this gap by guiding users through a structured, interactive, and fun Q&A process that captures their beliefs, values, experiences, and personality. The result is a robust profile (the “digital mind”) that can accurately answer questions, provide guidance, and retain the creator’s personal voice.

To ensure Interview Mode is both psychologically sound and user-friendly, we’re seeking a professional psychologist to develop and optimize the question sets, workflows, and motivational strategies.

2. Objectives

1. Identify Key Question Areas: Determine the core questions, prompts, and assessments required to build a “high-fidelity” digital mind in minimal time.
2. Optimize Question Flow & Ordering: Create a progression and verbiage that keeps users engaged, minimizes fatigue, and gathers meaningful personal data.
3. Design Incentives & Engagement Loops: Propose gamification or habit-inducing strategies (e.g., rewards, progress bars, feedback) that motivate users to continue and enjoy the process. What could we tell the user about themselves that would immediately get them to feel good about the product and continue answering questions?
4. Balance Depth & Efficiency: Ensure each user needs only a manageable number of questions (e.g., ~2 hours’ worth) to produce a useful digital mind.

3. Scope of Work

3.1 Question Design

We determine the quality of a mind via the Mind Quality Score. The Mind Quality Score can be broken down into 3 modular scores:

• Base Identity Questions

  Establish a universal set of questions that every user should answer to capture core identity details (e.g., background, beliefs, life story, personality traits).

  • Help refine or combine “big life questions” (e.g., childhood, family, major life events) with concise demographic queries (e.g., age, education, location).
  • Incorporate proven psychological measures (e.g., short-form Big Five Personality scales).
  • Examples

• Biographic & Expertise-Specific Questions

  Propose a framework to drill deeper into a user’s special interests, professional skills, or unique experiences.

  • Guide Delphi in identifying additional question modules once a user indicates a particular area of expertise or life domain they want to share (e.g., “I’m an expert in public speaking”).

• Purpose-Oriented Questions

  When a user has a specific goal—e.g., “I want my digital mind to coach others on fitness”—outline how to tailor follow-up questions (their methods, best practices, personal anecdotes) that strengthen the clone’s capability.

3.2 User Experience & Engagement

This is by far the most important aspect of this exercise. These are some ideas:
