BISCUIT: Scaffolding LLM-Generated Code with Ephemeral UIs in Computational Notebooks aims to solve the novice’s struggle with understanding LLM-generated code. By integrating ephemeral UIs into computational notebooks, a middle layer between prompts and code generation assists users to grasp and interact better with the produced code.

• Novices in machine learning often face challenges with LLM-generated code in computational notebooks.
• The BISCUIT workflow offers a UI-based scaffold for facilitating the learning and exploration process.
• A user study shows how ephemeral UIs improve comprehension, reduce the complexities of prompt engineering, and provide an exploratory environment.

Understanding the development as a stride towards a more accessible and intuitive approach to working with LLM-generated code, the possibilities for empowerment and creativity for novices are exciting. The work sheds light on an exciting, UI-centric interactive paradigm’s influence on code generation technologies.
