StoryEnsemble: Enabling Dynamic Exploration & Iteration in the Design Process with AI and Forward...
summary
Tool called StoryEnsemble builds a node-link interface that wires AI generators to personas, problem statements, solutions and storyboards and implements forward propagation (change a node and update downstream notes) and backward propagation (push feedback back to earlier nodes). A formative study with 15 practitioners/students informs design; a user study with 10 participants finds faster, multi-directional iteration and broader idea exploration. Live features include generate-more, start-brainstorming, feedback-driven updates and admin toggles to mitigate over-reliance on AI.
