The Six Thinking Hats® GPT is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) agent that prompts humans to think.
It is a reversal of the normal way of interacting with AI. It will not solve problems for us but instead provides the prompts and guidance to structure our own thinking about any situation that is important to us.
​
Developed under licence from Edward de Bono Ltd, and currently available on OpenAI’s ChatGPT platform. It guides individual users through authentic hat sequences, using prompts adapted directly from our Instructor Guides, Participant Workbooks, Slide Library, and Facilitation Cards. It has also been trained on the manuscript of Dr Edward de Bono's original book and to prompt in his writing style. It has been designed to help an individual with their thinking or recommend the use of accredited de Bono trainers and facilitators if the user wants to apply the method in a discussion with others. It is a high-quality individual-use companion.
Many generative AI tools are already being used to simulate the Six Thinking Hats®. Unfortunately, these versions are not trained on the original authorised material and sometimes promote critical errors, such as advising meeting participants to adopt different hats at the same time, or encouraging people to treat hats as personality types rather than changeable modes of thinking. These distortions defeat the purpose of parallel thinking, confuse users and undermine the integrity of the method.​
