This template helps ChatGPT or Claude act as a skilled focus group facilitator that designs balanced discussion guides and moderator probes. It is useful when you need a session plan that keeps participants engaged while preventing one voice from dominating. The prompt emphasizes grouping, transitions, and follow-up questions that encourage comparison and elaboration.
It is ideal for moderators, researchers, and agencies running concept tests, message tests, or product feedback sessions. The model can suggest warm-up questions, discussion pivots, and closing prompts that reduce groupthink. It also helps you plan how to explore disagreement without losing momentum. A well-designed discussion guide improves the quality of group insight and makes synthesis easier afterward.
Customize the template with your topic, participant profile, and desired session length. You can specify whether the group is exploratory, evaluative, or comparative. The output includes a run-of-show, question sequence, and moderator notes. If you want more control, ask for prompts to handle silence, dominant speakers, or off-topic tangents. That makes this template valuable for consistent session facilitation across multiple groups.
