Generating New Use Cases

Step 1: Define the Scenario

// Define your use case
const useCase = {
    industry: 'banking', // or retail, healthcare, education, etc.
    context: 'loan-application',
    userGoal: 'Complete loan application form',
    painPoints: [
        'Complex forms',
        'Unclear requirements',
        'Anxiety about approval',
    ],
    mascotRole: 'Supportive guide and reassurance provider',
};

Step 2: Map Emotions to User Journey

const emotionJourney = {
    onboarding: 'calm', // User arrives
    formStart: 'encouragement', // User begins
    complexQuestion: 'empathy', // User confused
    validation: 'concern', // Error occurred
    corrected: 'encouragement', // User fixed error
    submission: 'anticipation', // Processing
    approval: 'celebration', // Success!
    rejection: 'empathy', // Support needed
};

Step 3: Create Page Structure

// site/src/app/use-cases/[industry]/page.tsx
'use client'

import { useState, useEffect, useRef } from 'react'
import PremiumAIAssistant from '@/components/PremiumAIAssistant'

export default function IndustryUseCasePage() {
  const [mascot, setMascot] = useState(null)
  const [showAI, setShowAI] = useState(false)
  const [userProgress, setUserProgress] = useState('start')

  // Initialize mascot
  useEffect(() => {
    const initMascot = async () => {
      const { EmotiveMascot } = await import('@joshtol/emotive-engine')
      const m = new EmotiveMascot({
        canvas: canvasRef.current,
        initialEmotion: 'calm',
        enableGazeTracking: true
      })
      await m.initialize()
      setMascot(m)
    }
    initMascot()
  }, [])

  // Emotion handlers
  const handleUserAction = async (action: string) => {
    const emotion = emotionJourney[action]
    await mascot?.transitionTo(emotion, { duration: 1000 })
  }

  return (
    <div>
      {/* Canvas */}
      <canvas ref={canvasRef} />

      {/* Your UI */}
      <YourIndustrySpecificUI onAction={handleUserAction} />

      {/* AI Assistant */}
      {showAI && (
        <PremiumAIAssistant
          title="Your Assistant"
          context={useCase.context}
          onLLMResponse={(emotion) => mascot?.transitionTo(emotion)}
          onClose={() => setShowAI(false)}
        />
      )}
    </div>
  )
}
