这篇论文展示了如何设计能主动提供创意生成和自我监控支持的写作AI助手，比传统文本自动完成更智能。
该论文研究了主动式思维伙伴的设计空间，这是一种在写作过程中提供可定制高级认知支持的AI代理。研究团队通过技术原型对16名参与者进行了为期一周的部署测试。参与者通过前瞻性规划配置主动支持，利用建议进行创意生成和自我监控，并重视轻量级视觉表达与非指导性修辞框架的结合以实现非侵入式干预。
Designing Proactive Thought Partners for Writing
Writing involves diverse cognitive activities, from ideation to revision, and writers' needs vary across individuals and moments. Proactive AI promises to provide the right support at the right time, yet existing proactive tools largely focus on generic textual assistance, such as autocomplete. This paper studies the design space of proactive thought partners: AI agents that proactively offer customizable, higher-level cognitive support during writing. We instantiated this concept in a technology probe and deployed it with 16 participants for one week. The probe allows users to create partners by configuring their roles and proactivity. As users write, relevant partners take the initiative at appropriate moments to offer suggestions. Our findings show that participants configured proactive support through prospective planning, used suggestions for both idea generation and self-monitoring, and valued lightweight visual representations alongside non-directive rhetorical framing for non-intrusive interventions. We derive implications for designing proactive writing assistants around customization, timing, engagement, and representation.
