summary

OnGoal is a chat interface that automatically infers, merges, evaluates conversational goals from each user message, generates LLM explanations and extractive examples, and shows three temporal visualizations plus a goal history view. A 20 participant study on a writing task finds users spend less time and effort and explore new prompting strategies. The system is built as an LLM pipeline but some participants want manual goal editing and feedback mechanisms.
