In this paper, the authors introduce an LLM-based predictive behavioral modeling framework designed to forecast personal verbal behavior from everyday conversational interactions. The researchers collected over 1,000 hours of naturalistic speech from 14 participants using wearable smartwatches and evaluated LLM predictions against actual recorded behaviors. Semi-structured interviews further explored user perceptions and identified promising directions for proactive behavioral assistance. Ultimately, the study demonstrates that longitudinal conversation data enables person-specific behavioral anticipation for future personalized assistive systems.
