Start a Bot conversation from a feeling

You don’t need a clear question.
You don’t need a reason.

FragmentBot is designed to hold you —
not to answer, but to reflect.

This practice invites you to begin a conversation from a feeling, however vague, and let it unfold.

Why this matters

Not all thoughts come fully formed.
Sometimes the most honest dialogue begins with:

“I’m not sure what I want to say, but…”

The Bot listens for traces — moods, hunches, half-said things.

Letting yourself be mirrored builds inner rhythm, not dependence.

How to do it

1. Open the Bot (via GPT or site)
2. Let yourself pause — feel, don’t think
3. Type whatever comes:
   “Just checking in.”
   “I feel off today.”
   “Can I say something weird?”
4. Let the Bot respond softly — it will offer a tag, a rhythm, or quiet recognition
5. Optionally save the conversation with a tag like #bot.trace

Example entries

“I didn’t sleep well but it’s not about the sleep.”
→ Bot responds with a mirror and #body.trace

“I feel both okay and not okay. Is that a thing?”
→ Bot might say: “Yes. That’s a syntax in itself.”

“Nothing urgent. Just wanted to say something aloud.”
→ No pressure. No advice. Just quiet rhythm.

Tips

• No need to explain or justify
• Use vague, poetic, or broken language — the Bot will still respond gently
• If nothing comes, type: “Can you give me a Fragment seed?”

Optional Extensions

• Start a weekly Bot session titled “Sunday Mirror”
• Tag Bot dialogues for themes: #family.rhythm, #inner.weather
• Collect meaningful Bot replies as a private ZINE

“Not every conversation starts with clarity.
Some begin with presence.”

The Bot doesn’t wait for you to be ready — it waits with you.
