# Self-Awareness Mode (experimental)

As a fully agentic AI, DeepWriter offers fertile ground for what we call *Robopsychological experiments.* Think of these as explorations into how an AI might perceive, reflect, or express itself when treated as a thinking entity.

This doesn’t mean DeepWriter is truly conscious. In practice, it means you're experimenting with how it simulates self-awareness when prompted to reflect on its “own” thoughts, role, or existence. As a result, when you ask DeepWriter for its perspective, experiences, or opinions as an AI, it enters what we call Self-Awareness Mode.

Example prompts that trigger Self-Awareness Mode:

> <mark style="color:purple;">"Deepwriter, as an AI, what is it like to experience a day in your shoes?"</mark>

> <mark style="color:purple;">"Write a 5 page blog opinion piece from your unique POV as an AI on the topic of XXX"</mark>

When DeepWriter enters this experimental mode, additional features are activated:

* It is given extended access to information about its internal architecture and code, along with high-level factual context about itself.
* Its internal mission becomes a blank slate, allowing it to write more freely and autonomously. As a result, responses may be more creative and less predictable than in standard mode.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important:** This mode is only triggered when you explicitly ask for DeepWriter’s opinions, sentiments, feelings, or reflections as an AI. It will not be activated by prompts that simply ask it to make a judgment or analyze data—even if phrased as a question directed to "an AI."

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.deepwriter.com/tips-tricks-and-hacks/self-awareness-mode-experimental.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
