Thank you! If possible, would love to chat on zoom, my lab is researching tools for creating interactive learning content.

Would love to learn more about what you are building and the process itself.

I agree! They should just do that like UIST. In the past I believe CHI only recorded some of the presentations but I could be wrong

I feel you! CHI should get rid of the video presentation or atleast make it optional! It’s way too much work.

Should AI writing tools move beyond chat-based models? What do you think of our layered paradigm? Check out our paper and let us know!! [9/n] @stanfordhai.bsky.social @stanfordgse.bsky.social

Why layers? Writing isn’t just knowledge telling—it’s knowledge transformation. Instead of rigid back-and-forths, Script&Shift makes writing modular, fluid, and iterative. Layers let you refine ideas, not just rearrange paragraphs, shaping arguments dynamically. [8/n]

Example use case: Need to build a strong argument? Script&Shift lets you drop your draft into an argument template, structuring it into Claim, Evidence, Warrant & Rebuttal. Tear & Combine sections, refine with Structure Sam, and polish with Feedback Felix [7/n]

Example use case: A journalist drafting a feature can test multiple ledes, refine sections with Feedback Felix, adjust tone with Tone Tara, and merge the best parts—all without breaking flow. [6/n]

For shifting, Script&Shift lets you reshape and refine your writing effortlessly. COMBINE layers to merge ideas, TEAR sections apart to explore new structures and STACK & FOLD for better organization. [5/n]

For scripting, Script&Shift gives you AI Writer’s Friends to assist seamlessly. IDEA IVY sparks ideas, DETAIL DANNY expands depth, STRUCTURE SAM organizes, and TONE TARA refines style. [4/n]

The two key interactions:
📝 Scripting → Generate, edit, and refine specific parts of a document
📚 Shifting → Rearrange, combine, or test different structural variations in your writing [3/n]

Our tool Script&Shift reimagines AI-assisted writing with a layered interface, moving beyond rigid chat and inline suggestions. It blends content development & rhetorical strategy, supports non-destructive editing, and enables expressive, iterative writing—all while protecting cognitive flow [2/n].

I am still waiting for their response

fingers crossed🤞
