Abstract

Generative user interfaces (GenUI) promise personalized interfaces to a user's tasks and needs. However, user needs are often implicit---difficult for systems to infer and users to articulate, making it hard for users to arrive at their ideal interface. We propose Elicitive User Interfaces, a design approach to GenUI that generates elicitation techniques as part of the interface itself. Elicitive UIs adapt these techniques to the user, task, and interface to draw out user preferences. To guide the design of Elicitive UIs, we synthesize a six-axis design space that shapes how an interface elicits user preferences. Across two user studies with a design probe, we found that while Elicitive UIs surfaced preferences users had not already formed, and that responses to elicitation varied more across users than across tasks. Users developed more consistent preferences for how they wanted to be elicited, suggesting an opportunity to personalize elicitation itself.
