Cutting-Edge Research in AI-Assisted Development
Revolutionizing Code Editing with Free-form AI-Interpreted Sketching
This groundbreaking research explores a novel interaction paradigm, "Code Shaping," enabling programmers to iteratively edit code using free-form sketch annotations directly on top of code and console output. Discover how this approach enhances developer workflow and bridges the gap between abstract ideas and concrete code modifications.
Executive Impact
Our research demonstrates significant improvements in developer efficiency and conceptual clarity. Teams can now express complex code modifications more intuitively, reducing cognitive load and accelerating development cycles.

Flexible Sketching for Code Edits
Participants used a wide range of free-form sketches, from arrows indicating code flow to pseudocode for new functions. This flexibility allows for intuitive expression of complex changes.
Key finding: Programmers adapted sketching methods based on context, leveraging the informal nature of sketches to untangle complex tasks and represent abstract ideas with less cognitive effort.
Bridging Intent and AI Action
The system interprets sketch annotations to generate precise code modifications. Iterative feedback loops allow programmers to refine their sketches, guiding the AI model towards desired code structure and functionality.
Key finding: Always-on feedforward interpretation, visual cues, and specific gestures significantly reduced the conceptual gap between human intent and AI-generated code edits.
Seamless Integration into Development Workflow
Code shaping integrates directly into existing IDEs, allowing annotations on and around the code and console output. This eliminates context switching between external tools and the coding environment.
Key finding: The ability to directly interact with code via sketches fosters a more direct and dynamic interaction between visual planning and actual code modification, improving overall productivity.
