隨著全球高齡化趨勢加劇,如何設計符合高齡者需求的數位服務已成為人機互動(Human–Computer Interaction, HCI)領域的重要議題。傳統使用者體驗(User Experience, UX)評估方法,如可用性測試,雖能有效發現網站可用性問題,但需投入大量人力、時間及成本,難以支援持續性的網站改善。近年來,大型語言模型(Large Language Models, LLMs)與 AI Agent 的發展,使 AI 輔助 UX 評估成為可能。然而,現有 AI Agent 多以任務完成為導向,較難深入理解高齡者的使用者體驗,因此仍難以有效支援高齡者 UX 評估與網站持續優化。本研究提出 Agent-driven UX Optimization Framework,整合高齡者人物誌(Persona)、具反思能力之雙迴圈(Dual-loop)AI Agent、UX Analyzer 與持續性網站改善流程,探討反思思考機制是否能提升 AI Agent 對高齡者 UX 問題的辨識與成因分析能力,並支援網站持續優化。研究比較 Single-loop 與 Dual-loop AI Agent 在相同電商購物任務下的 UX 評估結果,以高齡者可用性測試作為驗證基準,並透過 UX Analyzer 產生設計建議,完成網站改善與再次評估。研究結果顯示,Dual-loop AI Agent 較能辨識符合高齡者特性的 UX 問題,並透過 Reflection 與 Wonder 提供更深入的問題成因分析。UX Analyzer 能有效將 UX 問題轉換為具體設計建議,經網站改善與重新測試後,主要 UX 問題皆獲得改善,驗證本研究所提出 AI 輔助 UX 優化流程的有效性。本研究主要貢獻包括:(1)驗證反思思考機制可提升 AI Agent 對高齡者 UX 問題之辨識與成因分析能力;(2)提出具可解釋性的 UX Analyzer,以支援 UX 診斷與設計建議生成;(3)建立整合 AI Agent、UX 診斷、網站改善與再評估之 Agent-driven UX Optimization Framework,為 AI 輔助 UX 評估與高齡友善數位服務設計提供新的研究方向。
As global population aging accelerates, designing digital services that meet the needs of older adults has become an important topic in Human–Computer Interaction (HCI). Traditional user experience (UX) evaluation methods, such as usability testing, effectively identify usability issues but require substantial time and cost, limiting continuous website improvement. Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI agents have enabled AI-assisted UX evaluation. However, most existing AI agents are task-oriented and have limited ability to understand the interaction experiences of older adults. This study proposes an Agent-driven UX Optimization Framework integrating elderly personas, a reflection-enabled Dual-loop AI Agent, a UX Analyzer, and a continuous website improvement process. The framework investigates whether reflective reasoning enhances AI agents' ability to identify elderly-related UX issues, analyze their underlying causes, and support website optimization. Single-loop and Dual-loop AI agents are evaluated using the same e-commerce shopping task, with usability testing involving older adults serving as the validation benchmark. Based on the evaluation results, the UX Analyzer generates design recommendations for website improvement and re-evaluation. The results show that the Dual-loop AI Agent more effectively identifies elderly-related UX issues and provides deeper analyses of their underlying causes through the Reflection and Wonder mechanisms. After implementing the generated recommendations, the major UX issues were substantially improved, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed framework. This study makes three contributions: (1) verifying that reflective reasoning enhances AI agents' ability to identify elderly-related UX issues and analyze their underlying causes; (2) proposing an interpretable UX Analyzer for UX diagnosis and design recommendation generation; and (3) establishing an Agent-driven UX Optimization Framework for AI-assisted UX evaluation and the design of age-friendly digital services.
