ASD当事者のコミュニケーションスキル向上を支援する、LLMエージェント型会話療法「SocialWise」

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects more than 75 million people worldwide. However, scalable support for practicing everyday conversation is scarce: Low-cost activities such as story reading yield limited improvement. At the same time, effective role-play therapy demands expensive, in-person sessions with specialists. SocialWise bridges this gap through a browser-based application that pairs LLM conversational agents with a therapeutic retrieval augmented generation (RAG) knowledge base. Users select a scenario (e.g., ordering food, joining a group), interact by text or voice, and receive instant, structured feedback on tone, engagement, and alternative phrasing. The SocialWise prototype, implemented with Streamlit, LangChain, and ChromaDB, runs on any computer with internet access, and demonstrates how recent advances in LLM can provide evidence-based, on-demand communication coaching for individuals with ASD.
