contents Design thrives on feedback. However, gathering constant feedback throughout the design process can be labor-intensive and disruptive. We explore how AI can bridge this gap by providing effortless, ambient feedback. We introduce FeedQUAC, a design companion that delivers real-time AI-generated commentary from a variety of perspectives through different personas. A design probe study with eight participants highlights how designers can leverage quick yet ambient AI feedback to enhance their creative workflows. Participants highlight benefits such as convenience, playfulness, confidence boost, and inspiration from this lightweight feedback agent, while suggesting additional features, like chat interaction and context curation. We discuss the role of AI feedback, its strengths and limitations, and how to integrate it into existing design workflows while balancing user involvement. Our findings also suggest that ambient interaction is a valuable consideration for both the design and evaluation of future creativity support systems.
