Intelligent Interface Spec for an AI-Assisted Code Review Tool
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Audit AI-surface inconsistencies, design an interface spec, and run a Wizard-of-Oz study to earn a verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The dev-tools startup (around USD 28M ARR, sells to mid-market engineering orgs) is in a 2-quarter retention war with 2 well-funded competitors — interface trust is now an existential metric.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Restore AI-suggestion acceptance to 38 percent via a unified intelligent-interface spec validated by Wizard-of-Oz testing with 8 reviewers.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Design intelligent interfaces with explicit confidence communication
- Run Wizard-of-Oz studies to validate AI interaction before model integration
- Distinguish trust-building from over-claiming in AI suggestion UX
- Specify human-in-the-loop correction protocols that improve future model quality
