  App Planner is an interactive support tool for K-12 students, designed to
assist in creating mobile applications. By utilizing generative AI, App Planner
helps students articulate the problem and solution through guided conversations
via a chat-based interface. It assists them in brainstorming and formulating
new ideas for applications, provides feedback on those ideas, and stimulates
creative thinking. Here we report usability tests from our preliminary study
with high-school students who appreciated App Planner for aiding the app design
process and providing new viewpoints on human aspects especially the potential
negative impact of their creation.
