The Psychological Stack

We use "Human-Centric Engineering" to drive deep engagement:

  • Social Reciprocity: Building agents that "Show Appreciation" and "Admit Mistakes" to build human trust.
  • Vulnerability Modeling: The agent occasionally sharing its "Uncertainty" to appear more relatable and trustworthy.
  • Boundary Management: Ensuring the agent remains a "Professional Partner" and doesn't encourage unhealthy emotional dependency.
  • The 'Halo Effect' in AI: Understanding how a great persona can cause users to overlook technical failures.
