Feedback & Correction

Purpose Thumbs, regeneration, inline editing, and follow-up affordances — giving users a clear mechanism to signal quality and correct AI output at point of response.
Use when After every substantive AI output. Required for any interface where output quality matters.
Do not use On intermediate steps or loading states; only on completed outputs.
Failure mode prevented Users having no way to signal that an output is wrong, partially right, or needs adjustment — so errors propagate silently.
Example Dark Academia
Dark Academia
The Atelier
Neon Tide
The Archive
Candlelight
The Conservatory

The recommended approach maps each user record to the activity log using a sequential lookup. This adds approximately 200ms latency per query at current data volumes.

Design rule

Every AI output must expose at minimum: thumbs signal, regenerate, and one follow-up affordance. Feedback UI must be present at output completion, not buried in settings.

Override these CSS custom properties to apply your own visual treatment without touching the component's behavioral contracts.
