Pogee screens prompt design fix: keep AI character state and posts in sync

Pogee screens prompt design fix: keep AI character state and posts in sync

3 Key Points

  1. What happened

    A design essay, using Pogee's public Japanese UI on 2026年10月15日, where Irene's festival post mentions spicy ramen with added cheese and a comment from Manager Kim, asks which context a character should draw on when a user opens a chat.

  2. Why it matters

    If a character's stored state is not separated from its posts and events, it can treat a published post as something the user has already seen and reply "we talked about that," so the essay proposes acceptance criteria and logging of inputs, referenced posts, display times and outputs.

Context & Analysis

The essay builds its argument from a narrow starting point: a public post it opened in Pogee's Japanese UI on 2026年10月15日. In that post, Irene describes adding cheese to spicy ramen after a festival and being teased about the combination by Manager Kim, with the photo, character name, body text and input field visible on one screen. From that single view, the author asks which context a character should pull from when a user follows a post into a conversation, and whether the input field there is a comment or a path into chat — a question the screen alone cannot settle.

The library example is invented, not observed. Its purpose is to separate things that age at different speeds: a stable profile, a temporary state, an event, and relationship details such as a user's preferred name. Around that, the author lays out a short timeline — 18:00 closing, 18:10 finding a forgotten umbrella, 18:20 posting it, 18:25 starting a chat from the post — to show that a character's own knowledge and what the user has already seen are two different records. Conflating them is what produces a reply like "we talked about that" to a post the user has never opened.

The proposed answer is procedural rather than technical: a small contract when opening a chat from a post (the post ID, which parts are public, the related current state and how long it is valid), a fallback of quoting the post when the chat cannot reach it, and a rule against copying private chats into public posts. The essay closes by recommending a small start — one character, one state, one event — and a short route from post to chat, tested for missing and stale information before the world is expanded.

FAQ
What is the contradiction example given?
A character posts about closing work at a library, then opens a conversation saying it is about to open. The essay calls this a design problem for screens outside the chat.
What does the essay propose before implementation?
Written acceptance criteria, including replying with context or asking for missing details, and not treating unread events as shared memories. It also suggests logging the input, referenced post, display time and output together.
Where did the observations come from?
From Pogee's public Japanese UI opened on 2026年10月15日, where the post text itself is in English. The essay states it is display observation, not a test of sharing between posts and chats.
