本文设计主动式思维伙伴AI智能体，以可定制的高层次认知支持辅助写作，经16名参与者一周测试，明确了主动式写作助手的设计要点。
AI 中文摘要
写作涵盖从构思到修改的多种认知活动，不同个体及不同时刻的写作者需求存在差异。主动式AI有望在恰当的时机提供合适的支持，但现有的主动式工具大多聚焦于通用文本辅助，例如自动补全。本文研究主动式思维伙伴的设计空间：这类AI智能体在写作过程中主动提供可定制的、更高层次的认知支持。我们将这一概念实例化为一个技术探针，并让16名参与者使用该探针一周。该探针允许用户通过配置角色和主动性来创建伙伴；在用户写作时，相关伙伴会在恰当的时机主动提供建议。我们的研究结果显示，参与者通过前瞻性规划配置主动式支持，将建议用于构思生成和自我监控，且重视轻量视觉表示以及非指令性修辞框架带来的非侵入式干预。我们得出围绕定制化、时机、参与度和表示设计主动式写作助手的启示。
英文摘要
Writing involves diverse cognitive activities, from ideation to revision, and writers' needs vary across individuals and moments. Proactive AI promises to provide the right support at the right time, yet existing proactive tools largely focus on generic textual assistance, such as autocomplete. This paper studies the design space of proactive thought partners: AI agents that proactively offer customizable, higher-level cognitive support during writing. We instantiated this concept in a technology probe and deployed it with 16 participants for one week. The probe allows users to create partners by configuring their roles and proactivity. As users write, relevant partners take the initiative at appropriate moments to offer suggestions. Our findings show that participants configured proactive support through prospective planning, used suggestions for both idea generation and self-monitoring, and valued lightweight visual representations alongside non-directive rhetorical framing for non-intrusive interventions. We derive implications for designing proactive writing assistants around customization, timing, engagement, and representation.
