Inflationary potentials motivated by scalar-tensor theories (such as Higgs or Starobinsky inflation and their generalisations) create an attractor solution for the whole class of theories called induced inflation. In my talk I will discuss modifications of this theory motivated by loop corrections to inflationary potentials or by modifying a scalar-tensor theory itself. I will show the new attractor in the (n_s,r) plane and discuss cosmological implications of including loop corrections.
