AI mommy: Follow-up questions that keep a scene moving
A follow-up can add depth without turning the exchange into an interview.
Respond to one detail
If a character mentions a painted door, ask what makes it different from the others. That acknowledges the actual reply instead of pulling the conversation back to a prepared list. Specific attention often creates a more coherent scene than a broad question about everything.
Offer a choice
“Would you open the door or look for a window?” gives two clear options and still allows another answer. Avoid asking several unrelated questions in one message. The reply may select only one, leaving you unsure which part of the scene has advanced.
Balance questions with contributions
Add your own fictional observation: “The handle is warm even though the street is cold.” This gives the other voice material to respond to. A scene feels collaborative when both sides introduce something, rather than when one side supplies all the prompts.
Respect the limits of the format
A fluent answer does not establish factual accuracy or human understanding. Use questions for imaginative entertainment, and verify any real-world claim separately. If the exchange becomes repetitive or uncomfortable, change the topic or end it.
