DraftMarks embeds process traces directly into the document using skeuomorphic encodings (e.g., masking tape, smudge marks, eraser crumbs). Instead of external provenance dashboards, the process becomes legible in situ during close reading. This supports what we call process-aware reading.

As AI becomes a writing collaborator, readers face a new problem: what is human thought? What did the AI produce? Existing disclosures tell us that AI was used, but not *how* collaboration unfolded. We introduce DraftMarks, an augmented reading interface for human–AI co-writing. #CHI2026

Current AI-assisted writing interfaces are disruptive. They are either too rigid, too complex, or chat-based, forcing writers into an unnatural back-and-forth. Momin @momins.bsky.social developed a new layered interface paradigm that makes AI-assisted writing more intuitive #CHI2025 [1/n] 👇

🤔Giving complex tasks to AI agents is easy—getting them to do exactly what you want isn’t. How can human-AI collaboration give us more reliable & steerable agents? 🍫Introducing Cocoa, our new interaction paradigm for balancing human & AI agency in complex human-AI workflows. 🧵

Excited to co-organize this #CHI2025 workshop on Tools for Thought! 🎉 Join us in exploring how Generative AI can understand, protect, and augment human cognition. Submit your work to help shape this critical conversation! 🔗 Details & Submission: aka.ms/toolsforthou... ⏳ Deadline: Feb 13, 2025 (AoE)

Poster with details on the workshop: Workshop Themes:
The workshop invites a multidisciplinary community to explore questions related to Generative AI (GenAI) and human cognition:

Relevant theories and perspectives for understanding, protecting, and augmenting human thinking with GenAI.
Opportunities and challenges for designing GenAI systems that protect and augment human cognition.
Methods to study and measure the impact of current and novel GenAI systems.
The impact of GenAI on human skills and workflows.
Principles and guidelines for designing GenAI systems to protect and augment cognition.
Organizers:
The workshop is organized by a group of researchers from institutions like Microsoft Research, Harvard University, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Chicago, Tableau Research, University of Toronto, IBM Research, University College London, and Stanford University. Notable names include:

Lev Tanklevitch (Microsoft Research)
Elena Glassman (Harvard University)
Hari Subramonyam (Stanford University)
Goals:
To build a community and develop research frameworks, theories, principles, and systems for understanding and designing tools that use GenAI to augment or protect human cognition.

#CHI2024 Paper: Using tools like ChatGPT can feel like the Hot-or-Cold guessing game, finding the right prompt to get the response you want! We examine the cognitive challenges people face in translating their intentions into prompts and make recommendations for Generative AI app designers

Screenshot of first page of paper showing the teaser figure. figure is : A conceptual diagram of gulf of envisioning in the form of a 3D cube with x-axis is labeled "Functional Flexibility (F)", ranging from "predetermined" to "dynamic", and the y-axis is labeled "Output Determinacy (O)", ranging from "definitive" to "stochastic"and the z-axis "Intent Specificity (I)", ranging from "well-defined" to "ill-defined" The figure shows three points one close to the origin depicting tradtional interfaces such as calculator, one at extreme indicating AGI that understand goals, and a third point in the middle indicating envisioning specific intentions.
