We’ve redesigned mobile email replies - with & without AI. Tap sentences while reading to enter local responses (or get suggestions). Then connect them on a usual draft screen (or let AI do just that). Result: Flexible workflows with varying speed and control. #CHI2025 preprint in comments.
@DBuschek What a neat project! I really appreciate the idea of relying on people for the substance and LLMs for connecting the bits of content into fluent prose. I also appreciate the flexibility to decide in the moment whether LLM should be used.
@kgajos Thank you!
Regarding this flexibility, we think there might be a more generally applicable principle here - from our discussion: "identify relevant (micro) decisions and response moments in the task, redesign the UI so that users can express these through interaction (here: select sentence), and then integrate AI specifically at these moments."
