It's good in any prompt to give the AI a chance to think without impact (without executing anything, maybe without making anything specifically appropriate for the user to read). That works somewhat similarly to "taking a moment to think."
At that point they'll still have a tendency to use a stereotyped response and stick with it, instead of a thoughtful response, but you can try to address that in prompting too by asking for multiple proposals before choosing one.
