Toward Enhancing Ideation through Collaborative Group-AI Brainwriting

This paper introduces a collaborative group-AI framework for enhancing ideation through co-creation. The proposed framework integrates LLMs into the creative process to support both the divergence stage of idea generation and the convergence stage of evaluation and selection of a few chosen ideas. We describe the framework and the tools we designed to implement it as well as summarize findings from its evaluation with novice designers - students in an advanced interaction design course. Our findings suggest that the framework could enhance both the ideation process and its outcome through human-AI co-creation.
