Research Poster: Interaction-Time Arbitration in AI-Supported Tasks: A Construct for Selection Behavior in Multi-Tool AI Workflows · UW iSchool Research Fair · March 2026

An exploratory poster examining how people navigate multiple AI systems that generate content on their behalf across everyday platforms such as email, productivity tools, and messaging apps. The work focuses on distributed personalization—situations in which different AI systems maintain partial models of the same user—and the resulting cognitive overhead of deciding which system’s output to trust, endorse, or revise.

    [paper] · [github repo]

    The Universal Work Trace Instrument (UTI) is a family of privacy-first ethnographic tools designed to study contemporary computational and creative labor without relying on selective memory or episodic self-report. UWTI prioritizes longitudinal trace capture to surface patterns of reasoning, coordination, and deferral that are often invisible in retrospective accounts.
