Academic survey: How do people use and debug AI agents for multi-step tasks?

Hi everyone,

I’m running a short academic survey about how people use chat-based AI agents for multi-step tasks, and how this compares with reusing or editing workflow-style automations.

The survey asks about your experience with AI agents, how you check or debug their results, and when you would prefer editing a visible workflow versus asking an AI agent to complete a similar task from scratch.

It should take about 5–10 minutes. There are no right or wrong answers; I’m interested in real experiences and preferences from people who work with automation, workflows, or AI agents. Participants can optionally leave an email address to be considered for a €10 Amazon eGift card.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Update: We have now received a sufficient number of responses, so the survey is closed for recruitment. We will review the submitted responses and issue gift cards to selected participants based on response quality. Thank you everyone for your participation!

Quick Survey: How Do You Build, Debug, and Reuse n8n Workflows?

Hi everyone,

My name is Zekun Wu, and I am a researcher at Saarland University, Germany.

I am currently conducting a short research survey on how people use workflow automation tools such as n8n. In particular, I’m interested in a simple but exciting idea: what if, after an AI helps complete a task, it could leave behind an editable workflow that users can inspect, fix, and reuse?

This survey helps us understand how real workflow users think about workflow understanding, debugging, and reuse in practice. It should only take about 5–10 minutes to complete.

Survey link:

As a small thank-you, we will select up to 10 participants who provide especially thoughtful and relevant responses to receive a €10 Amazon eGift card. This is not based on whether your opinions are positive or negative — detailed and honest experiences are what we value most.

Your feedback would be very helpful for shaping our future research and prototype design. I would really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to fill it out. Feel free to also share any thoughts or examples in the comments.

Thank you very much!

Best,
Zekun

I built a focus tracker that tracks what you actually look at, not just which app is open

Hi everyone, I recently built a small productivity app called GazeTrac, and I’d love to get some feedback from people who care about focus/time tracking.

The basic idea is simple: most time trackers only know which app is open. But that does not always mean you are actually focused on it. GazeTrac uses eye tracking to estimate what you were actually looking at on your screen, then turns that into a timeline of your focus during the day.

It can show things like:

  • which apps you actually focused on
  • when your attention shifted during the day
  • how much focused time you had vs just screen activity
  • calendar-style blocks of your work sessions
  • longer-term insights by app/project

It also has a fallback mode without eye tracking, where it just tracks the foreground app.

One thing I cared a lot about is privacy: the tracking data is stored locally by default. Google Calendar sync is optional, but otherwise the app is not meant to send your focus data somewhere online.

This is still early, so I’m especially curious:

Would you actually find “attention tracking” more useful than normal app-based time tracking?
And what kind of insight would make this worth using for you?

Happy to answer any questions or hear criticism.
