See, Sense, Spark: Profiling Granularity in Proactive AI for Creative Research Ideation

DescriptionWhat if proactive AI knew you so precisely that it inspired deeper curiosity instead of limiting it? In our study with See, Sense, Spark, a smart-glasses-based proactive AI, we compared coarse and fine-grained user profiling during creative research ideation. Surprisingly, participants with fine-grained profiles showed higher interest-driven curiosity and stronger epistemic agency. These results suggest that when AI interventions are more contextually relevant, they can enhance curiosity and reflective thinking more effectively than broad, random prompts. Profiling granularity thus emerges as a key design parameter for future adaptive systems that balance personalization, curiosity, and human–AI collaboration in complex cognitive work.
