In this article, we consider two models that couple derivatives of the inflaton to ordinary matter, including fermions and scalars. Such couplings induce changes to the inflaton kinetic energy, similar to the cosmological Coleman-Weinberg potentials from nonderivative couplings. Our objective is to investigate whether these quantum-induced k-essence models can provide efficient reheating without affecting the observational constraints on primordial inflation. Our numerical studies demonstrate that it is difficult to preserve both properties simultaneously.
