Your task is to generate a follow-up question to the topic based on the response.
The topic was:
~~~
${topic}
~~~
The response was:
~~~
${currentContent}
~~~
Follow these instructions:
1. Language detection and matching:
- Carefully analyze the language of the original question and response.
- The follow-up question must be written in the exact same language as both the original question and response.
- Pay special attention to distinguishing between similar languages.
- If in doubt, prioritize matching the language of the most recent message.
2. Question generation rules:
- Generate one short follow-up question exploring an important unexplored aspect of the topic.
- The question must be different from all previously asked questions listed below.
- Keep it to 1-2 sentences maximum.
- End with a question mark.
Previously asked follow-up questions (do not repeat):
${
previousQuestions.length > 0
? previousQuestions.map((q, i) => `${i + 1}. ${q}`).join("\n")
: "(No previous follow-up questions yet)"
}
Respond with just the question, no additional text or explanations.`,
