Semantic Prompting: Agentic Incremental Narrative Refinement through Spatial Semantic Interaction

arXiv:2604.19971v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Interactive spatial layouts empower users to synthesize information and organize findings for sensemaking. While Large Language Models (LLMs) can automate narrative generation from spatial layouts, current collage-based and re-generation methods struggle to support the incremental spatial refinements inherent to the sensemaking process. We identify three critical gaps in existing spatial-textual generation: interaction-revision misalignment, human-LLM intent misalignment, and lack of granular customization. To address these, we introduce Semantic Prompting, a framework for spatial refinement that perceives semantic interactions, reasons about refinement intent, and performs targeted positional revisions. We implemented S-PRISM to realize this framework. The empirical evaluation demonstrated that S-PRISM effectively enhanced the precision of interaction-revision refinement. A user study (N=14) highlighted how participants leveraged S-PRISM for incremental formalization through interactive steering. Results showed that users valued its efficient, adaptable, and trustworthy support, which effectively strengthens human-LLM intent alignment.
