This is a research and development project focused on designing a Generative AI tool that supports equitable team practices in software development. The project combines qualitative research, such as persona profile creation, with AI prototyping to explore how GenAI can foster inclusion, improve team dynamics, and accommodate diverse working styles in technical environments. The outcome includes both a functional AI prototype and practical resources for inclusive collaboration.

Aim/outline

The project aims to deliver, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Guidelines for Inclusive Practices: A set of actionable recommendations designed for teams and organisations to promote inclusivity.

  • Persona Profiles or Experience Maps: Visual tools that represent the lived experiences of participants, which will help inform design and policy decisions.

  • Prototype Tool or Checklist: A resource to assess inclusivity in team workflows and development practices.

These recommendations will be used to create a Generative AI tool.
