Misty: UI Prototyping Through Interactive Conceptual Blending

UI prototyping often involves iterating and blending elements from examples such as screenshots and sketches, but current tools offer limited support for incorporating these examples. Inspired by the cognitive process of conceptual blending, we introduce a novel UI workflow that allows developers to rapidly incorporate diverse aspects from design examples into work-in-progress UIs. We prototyped this workflow as Misty. Through an exploratory first-use study with 14 frontend developers, we assessed Misty’s effectiveness and gathered feedback on this workflow. Our findings suggest that Misty’s…

SQUIRE: Interactive UI Authoring via Slot QUery Intermediate REpresentations

Frontend developers create UI prototypes to evaluate alternatives, which is a time-consuming process of repeated iteration and refinement. Generative AI code assistants enable rapid prototyping simply by prompting through a chat interface rather than writing code. However, while this interaction gives developers flexibility since they can write any prompt they…

Announcing prompt management in the Vertex AI SDK

As generative AI applications grow in sophistication, development workflows become more fragmented. Although AI can be a force multiplier, teams may design prompts in one environment, manage versions in spreadsheets or text files, and then manually integrate them into their code. This leads to inefficiencies, versioning chaos, and collaboration bottlenecks. …
