Claude Chat Sample Questions and FAQ

Sample Questions

To use this, you can cut/paste a question from here into the Claude Chat bot.

  • I’m going to be working with a group that tries to have conversations with people on the other side. How should I start such a conversation? The mix of ideas on how to start a conversation like that is confusing. Where should I look for techniques that have proven to work?
  • I’d like to know more about Indivisible and its Portola Valley chapter. I’ve heard it is pretty liberal. Is it part of the Democratic Party?
  • I have an uncle who I get along very well with. We agree about a lot of things, but politics is a problem area. He is a big Trump supporter. I’d like to have a talk with him about this. I am lost because he won’t budge. What should I do?
  • What kind of activities is IPV involved with?
  • How much does it cost to be an Indivisible member?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why does the bot often return three answers?
  • Most AI bots will return the “best” average answer. By asking for three answers with confidence, based on sources, we are hoping it will show a range of likely answers.
  • By not giving one answer, the hope is that the questioner won’t fully trust the answers. This could turn on “critical-thinking;” does this sound right?
Why can’t the bot find the answer? Why does it not look at other sites?
  • The bot has been told to look for answers on this site first.
  • It will try other sites, but it is limited by how long it can take to find things.
  • Its main purpose is to help find things on this site.
The information is “obviously” on this site. Why could it not find it?
  • Maybe rephrase your question.
  • Maybe include more details in your question; for example, what are you looking for in the answer?
  • Tell us about your question and what you expected. Use the Contact Us form to send us your question and the approximate date/time you asked, so we can look in the logs. This could help us improve the bot’s internal prompt.
