AI-Assisted Reflection for Enhanced Team Collaboration
Analysis
This paper addresses a common problem in collaborative work: task drift and reduced effectiveness due to inconsistent engagement. The authors propose and evaluate an AI-assisted system, ReflecToMeet, designed to improve preparedness through reflective prompts and shared reflections. The study's mixed-method approach and comparison across different reflection conditions provide valuable insights into the impact of structured reflection on team dynamics and performance. The findings highlight the potential of AI to facilitate more effective collaboration.
Key Takeaways
- •ReflecToMeet is an AI-assisted system designed to improve team collaboration through reflective prompts.
- •Structured reflection, facilitated by the system, led to better organization and progress compared to unstructured reflection.
- •Deeper reflection, while potentially increasing cognitive load, further enhanced confidence, teamwork, and idea generation.
- •The study provides design implications for AI agents that facilitate reflection to enhance collaboration.
