With the development of artificial intelligence, writing assistants (WAs) are changing the way people interact with text, creating lengthy outputs that can be overwhelming for users. The programming field has long addressed this issue, and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) have been created for efficient software development, helping programmers reduce the cognitive load. This experience could be employed in the development of WAs. IDEs can also be used to test assumptions about interventions that help people interact with WAs efficiently. Previous works have successfully used self-written IDE plugins to test hypotheses in the field of human-computer interaction. The lessons learned can be applied to the building of WAs.

翻译：随着人工智能的发展，写作助手正在改变人们与文本交互的方式，但其生成的长篇输出可能给用户带来认知负担。编程领域早已解决这一问题，通过构建集成开发环境实现高效的软件开发，帮助程序员降低认知负荷。这一经验可被应用于写作助手的开发中。此外，集成开发环境还可用于验证关于如何帮助人们有效与写作助手交互的干预措施的假设。已有研究成功利用自主开发的集成开发环境插件在人机交互领域进行假设检验。这些经验可被借鉴到写作助手的构建中。
