Question
How does the format of an LLM interface change the way people explore information and make decisions?
Human–AI Interaction / Interface research
Making LLM conversations navigable
The Node-tree interface turns a linear AI conversation into an interactive hierarchy, helping people preserve context, revisit branches, and explore ideas without losing their place.
Study
A comparative study with business users evaluated node-tree and chatbot interfaces across exploratory, follow-up, decision-making, and problem-solving tasks.
Finding
The structured interface was especially useful for brainstorming and for keeping related ideas visible. The work points toward adaptive AI interfaces that can shift between conversational and spatial formats.
