The Invisible Mentor: Inferring User Actions from Screen Recordings to Recommend Better Workflows

Users of feature-rich tools like Excel often miss more efficient workflows, repeating tedious steps and making avoidable errors. Current approaches to helping them require either manual prompting, which is effortful for users, or automated logging, which is limiting for developers. We present InvisibleMentor, a system…

Laughing Through the Struggles: Understanding ADHD Experience and Community Engagement Through Memes and Comments on Instagram

While public discourse often reduces Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) to stereotypes that overlook the invisible struggles of those who live with it, ADHD people are increasingly using social media to express their experiences on their own terms. On platforms like Instagram, memes have become a powerful…

Voice-Based Chatbots for English Speaking Practice in Multilingual Low-Resource Indian Schools: A Multi-Stakeholder Study

Spoken English proficiency is a powerful driver of economic mobility for low-income Indian youth, yet opportunities for spoken practice remain scarce in schools. We investigate the deployment of a voice-based chatbot for English conversation practice across four low-resource schools in Delhi. Through a six-day field s…

BiasViz: A Project-Based, Narrative-Centered Learning Tool for Engaging Middle School Students in Critical Thinking about AI Biases

Developing the ability to think critically about AI and interpret its outputs requires an understanding of AI bias, a key skill for both AI users and future developers. While some initiatives have introduced teens to algorithmic bias, few have engaged them in actively identifying and quantifying bias in real-world gen…

Does Personalized Nudging Wear Off? A Longitudinal Study of AI Self-Modeling for Behavioral Engagement

Sustaining the effectiveness of behavior change technologies remains a key challenge. AI self-modeling, which generates personalized portrayals of one’s ideal self, has shown promise for motivating behavior change, yet prior work largely examines short-term effects. We present one of the first longitudinal evaluations…

VizCrit: Exploring Strategies for Displaying Computational Feedback in a Visual Design Tool

Visual design instructors often provide multi-modal feedback, mixing annotations with text. Prior theory emphasizes the importance of actionable feedback, where “actionability” lies on a spectrum—from surfacing relevant design concepts to suggesting concrete fixes. How might creativity tools implement annotations that…

Characterizing User-Reported Risks across LLM Chatbots

As Large Language Models (LLMs) become increasingly integral to daily life, users are engaging with multiple LLM chatbots for various needs; however, prior research on LLM risks often remains lab-based or focuses on single LLMs like ChatGPT or singular risks like privacy. To gain a multi-risk, cross-chatbot understand…

Navigating Automated Hiring: Perceptions, Strategy Use, and Outcomes Among Young Job Seekers

As the use of automated employment decision tools (AEDTs) has rapidly increased in hiring contexts, especially for computing jobs, there is still limited work on applicants' perceptions of these emerging tools, and their experiences navigating them. To investigate, we conducted a survey with 448 computer science stude…
