Daniel Lametti and Joanna Kuc join Robb and Josh to share the advanced chatbot they created for a mental health research project. Daniel is the Associate Professor of Cognitive Psychology, Acadia University and was instrumental in launching OneReach.ai’s Academic Research Fellowship program. Joanna is a PhD Candidate in Experimental Psychology at University College London and her work focuses on decoding language biomarkers relating to mental health. Using the OneReach.ai platform along with Telegram they created a bot that collected journal entries from participants as either written text of voice notes. Along with reminding people to make their daily entries, this bot also provided some participant groups with weekly summaries of their entries.

Discover the role conversational AI can play in mental health, how the experience journaling can be enhanced by large language models, and how a flexible approach to building conversational experiences can reach users where they are. Learn more about the design of this experience and some of their findings in this engaging and practical episode of Invisible Machines. We recommend watching this episode on our YouTube channel to see the demos in action

Beyond Vibe Coding: A Designer’s Case for Directed Generation
  • The term “vibe coding” initially described an unstructured approach with minimal accountability, which doesn’t apply to professional design. It risks oversimplifying AI-assisted processes, ignoring the intentionality and expertise involved in high-level design. 
  • In practice, designers engage in “directed generation,” setting clear constraints, selecting references, and refining details. The AI model follows the designer’s guidance rather than taking initiative.

The Prompt Is the New Brief

Every time you drafted a design brief, stating the goal, audience, constraints, and context, you were doing precisely what good AI prompting entails. There is a change of recipient. The ability is identical.

IDEAS IN BRIEF
The Prompt Is the New Brief
  • “Prompt engineering” can sound like a technical skill, but that image is not always accurate. In practice, good prompting is very much like writing a good design brief. Both require setting a goal, defining a target audience, setting constraints, providing context, and establishing evaluation criteria.
  • Designers are already doing these activities in practice. They have skills in writing briefs that they have developed during their careers that directly translate to fluency in AI prompting – they just might not have made the connection.
