About
September 2026 HCI paper introducing a Figma-based environment for steering generated interfaces toward a designer's intent. GUIDE turns canvas edits into prompt updates and adapts a design-conformance scorer that ranks candidate screens against project references.
Summary
Why GUIDE Adds New Signal:
1. Design-time control: Lets designers inspect and correct generated screens before those choices guide later outputs
2. Learned conformance: Combines reference designs, prompt optimization, and an adaptive scoring model
3. Measured alignment: Evaluates the scorer on held-out application screens and compares outputs with an exemplar-plus-design.md baseline
4. Practitioner study: Twelve UI/UX participants preferred the aligned outputs in a blind comparison; the models and data are not yet open-sourced
