The paper examines how interactive AI workflows can embed professional task structure without dictating user engagement. Two scaffolded interfaces (completed analysis vs user-directed incremental) were tested against no-AI and chat conditions in a 800-participant experiment on negotiation preparation. Scaffolded workflows improved coverage over chat; the user-directed variant elicited broader analytic requests at lower subjective effort.

Empirical comparison of two workflow-scaffolding patterns against chat and unaided baselines, with 800 participants. The user-directed incremental variant is the design takeaway.
