Metamo introduces a light, single-pass wrapper that first identifies the cognitive distortion behind an emotion, then recognizes the user's emotion, and finally produces a question-centered reply that invites reflection, all within one model call. The wrapper keeps the response time below two seconds in the API, yet enriches the feedback with cognitively grounded insight. A front-end web interface renders the detected emotion as an animated avatar and shows distortion badges in real time, whereas a safety layer blocks medical advice and redirects crisis language to human hotlines. Empirical testson public corpora confirmed that the proposed design improved emotion-recognition quality and response diversity without sacrificing latency. A small user study with company staff reported higher perceived empathy and usability than a latency-matched baseline. Metamois model-agnostic, illustrating a practical path toward cognition-aware coaching tools.  \n1 Introduction  \nConversational coaching tools have begun to accompany performance reviews, career planning, and daily self-reflection in the workplace (Mitchell et al., 2022 ; Beinema et al., 2023 ; Arakawa and Yakura, 2024 ; Ong et al., 2024) . Built on large language models (LLMs), such systems can deliver fluent encouragement; however, they typically operate with a single prompt that folds perception and advice into one turn. It leads to two limitations. First, the generated guidance is often generic, without empathy, because the prompt lacks an explicit representation of why the user feels distressed. Second, multi-step prompting or tool calling pushes  \n* Corresponding Author.  \nresponse latency beyond the five-second window that humans perceive as natural.  \nPsychological research attributes many negative emotions to recurring thought patterns, known as cognitive distortions (Beck, 2020) . Recent NLP studies have shown that prompting LLMs to label such distortions can sharpen downstream reasoning (Chen et al., 2023 ; Wang et al., 2024 ; Lim et al., 2024), but existing pipelines are usually designed with two separate steps: emotion recognition with shallow textual representation, and response generation. This makes ill-suited for interactive and empathetic coaching (Liong and Patel, 2024) .  \nWe argue that conversational coaching systems should be empowered by a deeper understanding of human thinking that fosters empathetic effective communication between humans and AI models. To address this argument, this study presents Metamo, a demonstration system that is empowered by psychological distortion detection. The system uses a compact prompt to first yield a ten-way distortion label, then emotion labels, and finally, a dialogue move that combines a Socratic follow-up question with a brief reframing suggestion. The design preserves latency while making cognitive analysis transparent: the web client maps the emotion to an avatar's facial expression and displays the distortion as a color-coded badge.  \nWe evaluated Metamo under zero-shot conditions on EMPATHETICDIALOGUES (Rashkin et al., 2019) and a subset of EDOS (Welivita et al., 2021) . The wrapper improves emotion recognition accuracy and response diversity over strong baselines, yet maintai","cbCaipa8lCKAK2QI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipa8lCKAK2QI","pdf",603142,11,"English","# Abstract\n# 1 Introduction\n# Chain of Emotion\n# Subjectivity assessment\n## Contrastive reasoning\n# Empathetic Response (ERG)","[{\"question\":\"What is Metamo, and what does it do for workplace coaching?\",\"answer\":\"Metamo is a browser-based dialogue system that transforms a standard large language model into an empathetic coach for everyday workplace concerns.
