The Flipped Interaction — Let AI Interview You

0

Claude interviews you with one question at a time to gather context, then produces a tailored deliverable.

Productivity & Analysis
beginner
Best for:Anyone who wants help gathering their own thoughts
Prompt
I want you to help me [GOAL — e.g., write my About page / plan a business / figure out my career direction / design a product feature].

But instead of me giving you all the information upfront, I want YOU to interview ME.

Ask me questions one at a time — wait for my answer before asking the next one. Keep asking until you have everything you need to [DELIVER THE FINAL OUTPUT].

Your questions should:
- Start broad, then get specific
- Build on my previous answers
- Dig deeper when something I say is interesting or vague
- Be conversational, not like a form

Once you've gathered enough information (after roughly 5-8 questions), tell me you're ready to proceed, then [FINAL DELIVERABLE — e.g., write the copy / create the plan / draft the document].

Start with your first question now.
```

## When to use this
When you know roughly what you want but don't know how to explain it, or when structured output requires personal context you haven't organized yet.

## Use case examples
- Writing an About page or bio
- Creating a personalized workout or diet plan
- Designing a user story or product feature
- Planning a difficult conversation
- Writing a strategy document

## Tips
- This is one of the most underused yet powerful prompt patterns — Claude as interviewer unlocks better outputs
- The "one question at a time" instruction is critical — without it, you get a list of 10 questions at once
