Open House: Design Research into non-chat interfaces for LLMs and RAGs aka Project: Skinny Dip
We've been researching how locally-run LLMs and RAGs might help us (AIxD) do what we do: interrogate the dominant narratives around AI, research and articulate counter-narratives, and make them real. Specifically we're looking at how we could use these tools (LLMs, RAGs) if we weren't confined to a chat box.
How might we design generous interfaces that could support <non-linear/ relational/plural/playful> exploration of <specialist/subjective/small> text-only data?
