As the linguistic capabilities of dialogue systems improve, the importance of how they interact with humans and build trustworthy relationships is increasing. This study investigated the effect of interaction structures in a generative AI-driven dialogue system to improve relationships through interactions. The dialogue system communicated with subjects in natural language via voice and included a facial expression function. The settings of dyadic and triadic interaction structures were applied to the system. The one-to-one dyadic interaction and triadic interaction with joint attention to a topic were designed following the developmental stages of children’s social communication ability. Subjective evaluations of the dialogues and the system were conducted through a questionnaire. As a result, positive evaluations were based on well-constructed structures. The system’s inappropriate behavior under failed structures reduced the quality of the dialogues and worsened the evaluation of the system. The interaction structures in the system settings needed to match the structures intended by the subjects, whether the structures were dyadic or triadic. Under the matching and successful construction, the system fully demonstrated its dialogue capability and behaved pleasantly with the subjects. By switching interaction structures to adapt to users’ demands, system behavior becomes more appropriate for users.
