Affora: A Design System for Agent-Friendly Interfaces
Affora proposes one shared interface layer that keeps software usable for people while making task state and actions legible to computer-use agents.
Jin Gao’s paper describes a design system for interfaces whose interaction meaning survives visual variation. Three controlled studies feed into component guidance, full-site guidance, reusable implementations, and executable checks. The abstract says Affora improves agent performance where existing interfaces lack that meaning, but has limited effect when problems fall outside its coverage. A workflow case offers preliminary evidence that it can reduce interaction cost. ArXiv · AI/CL/LG's note
