■Cooperative Design Optimization through Natural Language Interaction

Research Introduction	Creating a great app or service requires exploring and identifying what kind of design is easy to use and effective. However, in practice, designers face a large number of settings (parameters) and their combinations, making it extremely difficult to find the optimal design. To address this, we developed a new method that allows designers to work with AI using natural language to optimize design. For example, by simply asking something like "Make it easier to find restaurants on the map," the AI suggests suitable parameter values and explains why. Designers can then combine these suggestions with their own intuition and ideas to reach better designs more efficiently. Compared to conventional methods where the AI makes all decisions automatically, our approach allows users to incorporate their intentions more flexibly and provides higher user agency. Experiments also showed that it reduces cognitive load, making it easier and less stressful to use. In this study, we focused on web application design. But this method can be applied to a wide range of other domains, such as game UI, robot interfaces, and haptic device tuning, in the future.
