Algorithms certainly will be developed for social prompting or coaching, but they will have to be capable of flexibly handling this rapidly shifting and complex social environment. There could be a collaborative interaction between AI and the user. Using software including facial recognition, a user could input other people's identity (name and relationship, via prompted questions) and through monitoring interactions over time between the user and others, the AI program or device could help clarify understanding of the relationships. Perhaps the AI could offer personalized prompts for responding to interactions. It might recognize that the person seeming irritating is a friend, and prompt a question and then a supportive response about the bad day.
