• Abstract: The case study examines the impact of the CGScholar (Common Ground Scholar) AI Helper on a pilot research initiative involving the writing development of 11th-grade students in English Language Arts (ELA). CGScholar AI Helper is an evolving and innovative web-based application designed to support students in their writing tasks by providing specified AI-generated feedback. This study is one of six interventions. It involved one teacher and six students in a diverse school with low income students and explored to what extent customized AI-driven feedback can support students' writing development. The findings suggest that the implementation of AI Helper supported the development of students' writing in a number of ways. It also elicited suggestions from the teacher and students about ways of improving the still in development tool.

  We show that the impact of genAI on students' idea development depends not only on the AI but also on the students and, crucially, their interactions in between. Students who proactively explored ideas gained new ideas from writing, regardless of whether they used auto-complete or Socratic AI assistants. These findings suggest opportunities in designing AI writing assistants, not merely by creating more thought-provoking AI, but also by fostering more thought-provoking writer-AI interactions.
