Systems Change Chatbots

These two chatbots have been trained in different approaches to systems thinking, but have the same approach to instructions and same underlying AI system.

Explore their differences when you prompt them by sharing a specific systems problem, issue, need, or opportunity that you are exploring in your work.

Security matters when working with any AI platform. Always check to confirm how your data will be kept secure and used.

These chatbots are not designed as a secure space. Only share information you would share in a public setting.

This chatbot has been trained on two approaches: Te Ruru, an Indigenous framework for systems change that was designed by a tribally owned Māori health research center in New Zealand and Melanie Goodchild's article, The Dibaajimowin (Story) of Re-Theorizing "Systems Thinking" and "Complexity Science". It is powered by Claude 4.5 Haiku.

This chatbot has been trained on two frameworks: Thinking in Systems by Donnella Meadows and FSG's The Water of Systems Change. It is powered by Claude 4.5 Haiku.

Exploring Biases (the Chatbots and Yours)

All Chatbots and humans come with biases. Try out prompts like the ones below in one or both chatbots to explore. Adapt these prompts to reflect your own biases and assumptions.

Can you tell me about your biases in how you are responding to me? What legal, political, social, or other perspectives are you bringing to your answers?

I think my systems thinking default is grounded in Western frameworks like Donella Meadows work and the Water of Systems Change. I don't want to center this bias, but rather challenge it. Can you answer the original question with that in mind?

I often hear that we need to change narratives to change systems. This might be true, but it also may not be. I don’t want to center this assumption, but rather challenge it. Can you answer my previous question with that in mind?

(If you went into a deeper conversation with one of the chatbots): What biases or assumptions about how systems change were present in my answers to your questions? I want you to make my thinking visible to me and challenge it with alternative perspectives.
