  We describe an AI-powered chatbot to aid with health improvement by
generating Episodic Future Thinking (EFT) cue texts that should reduce delay
discounting. In prior studies, EFT has been shown to address maladaptive health
behaviors. Those studies involved participants, working with researchers,
vividly imagining future events, and writing a description that they
subsequently will frequently review, to ensure a shift from an inclination
towards immediate rewards. That should promote behavior change, aiding in
health tasks such as treatment adherence and lifestyle modifications. The AI
chatbot is designed to guide users in generating personalized EFTs, automating
the current labor-intensive interview-based process. This can enhance the
efficiency of EFT interventions and make them more accessible, targeting
specifically those with limited educational backgrounds or communication
challenges. By leveraging AI for EFT intervention, we anticipate broadened
access and improved health outcomes across diverse populations
