Original abstract
Large language models (LLMs) have shifted human--computer interaction from `traditional'' interface journeys toward more conversational exchanges. Researchers studying HCI and UI use moderated usability sessions, interviews, surveys, transcript analysis, and static prototypes. However, static prototypes provide limited opportunities to study interaction with live AI systems or systematically control how an LLM behaves across participants and scenarios. Conversation transcripts reveal little about how users formulate, revise, and hesitate over prompts before submission. We designed the Human--AI Research Platform (HARP) for researchers, designers, and anyone who has ever wondered, `What if AI did this?' HARP places participants in controlled mock scenarios with live, configurable AI agents. Researchers can control agent prompts, model parameters, response characteristics, and experimental conditions; trigger surveys at predefined moments; and record prompt composition time, response latency, deletions, and keystroke pauses. Planned capabilities include voice, facial expression, gesture, and, where legally and ethically appropriate, emotion analysis. We illustrate HARP through a study examining how technical specificity and response length affect retention of LLM output. By pairing controllable live agents with behavioral and self-report measures, HARP enables systematic testing of how AI design choices affect users.
