The study focuses on the challenge of stagnant online discussions, especially with few participants, and presents a prototype discussion participation agent based on GPT to stimulate discussions. The agent’s functions include automatic topic generation and interaction with users in discussions. The effectiveness of the agent was examined in an online discussion experiment using D-Agree, a discussion platform developed in our laboratory. The results showed that the scores of the questionnaires on discussion satisfaction and ease of posting improved, suggesting the usefulness of this discussion participation agent. Future work includes adjusting the number of comments so that users are not discouraged from speaking, and verifying the effectiveness of introducing agents through large-scale experiments.
