Introducing positive friction in goal-oriented dialogues boosts task success and efficiency! 🎯By strategically slowing down to ask, reveal, or pause, agents improve their understanding of user goals—leading to more efficient, aligned interactions. Read more below:
‼️ Ever wish LLMs would just... slow down for a second?
In our latest work, "Better Slow than Sorry: Introducing Positive Friction for Reliable Dialogue Systems", we delve into how strategic delays can enhance dialogue systems.
