Memo - Using ChatGPT to create a conversational experience that helps the user to progress a mission/game

Introduction - an experiment with ChatGPT, a math mission game

The goal of this memo is to help our team to visualize the potential of using ChatGPT in the context of our project, since our goal is to use OpenAI to help us to enhance a conversational experience that supports the MePlex marketing assistant chatbot.

• Check the real conversation here, a math mission game with ChatGPT

The initial prompt

The original prompt was in portuguese, but here is the translation:

• Let's create a kind of game. We'll keep the state in a JSON, ok? The states represent level, complexity, and are based on math. Mission 1: "1 + 1". Mission 2: "10 * 10". Mission 3: "10 / 10"
• The user needs to go through all three to reach the goal. You create the JSON for this, including the state for each stage—whether it's completed or not, ok? And keep the progress stored in the JSON. Then you tell me "ready" and I’ll ask what to do next.
• Also, for each stage, include a help attribute. Something like stage1.help = "give a hint about addition and send the problem". Got it?

Note: notice that a guidance element is present here. This notion is strongly supported my prior experimentations of helping people through Whatsapp in the real world.

Summary of the results

• ChatGPT was able to help the user go through the stages as expected, able to check the responses too. See our video with comments in English by Marcio, Weplex - reflecting about ChatGPT being used as a state machine with guidance.
