ASTRA — the research platform for Human-AI interaction.
ASTRA lets researchers design controlled experiments on human–AI interaction — configure the agent's functionalities, personality, and look, run the session, and capture participants' reactions and behavior automatically.
An earlier recording of the platform — some screens have since changed, see "How it works" below for the current setup.
Set up your experiment in just 4 steps
The researcher configures the study, the participant chats with the agent, and every signal is captured live.
ASTRA is still in active development — and we're looking for use cases to build.
If your research touches human–AI interaction, we'd love to shape the platform around real studies. These are the use cases we're working on right now:
Studying how audiences engage with adaptive, AI-generated media that reshapes itself to the individual.
Exploring how people delegate everyday home control to conversational AI agents and where trust breaks down.
An avatar-led chat that recruits and matches people to volunteering opportunities in their community.
The people behind ASTRA
ASTRA is being developed by the Societal Imagineering Lab — a research lab connected to imec and Ghent University that designs inclusive technologies for real societal impact.
Socio-technologist blending social science, innovation management and product design to build inclusive technologies.
Researches how conversational agents and AI interfaces can support well-being over the long term.
Studies the user experience of emerging technologies, from personal data stores to human–AI interaction.
