Two minds, one prompt

Most of us use AI alone, prompting from our own mental model and never seeing how colleagues approach it differently. Building a prompt together makes that thinking visible, and starts to shift AI from a solo habit into something the team shares. Try it when the team is using AI a lot but separately.

How to run it

Pick a pair from different roles and a real task to work with. Together, build a prompt from scratch, run it, and talk about what you each brought to it.

01

Pair two people from different roles (design + engineering, PM + researcher, delivery + product)

02

Pick a real task one of them has coming up, not a made-up exercise

03

Together, write a prompt for that task from scratch, no reusing existing prompts

04

Run it and read the output side by side

05

Talk about what happened: where did you pull in different directions? What surprised you?

06

Optional: each person writes what they would have prompted alone, then compare

Recommended time

4 weeks, try multiple pairings.

What to notice

  • Are people starting to talk about how they prompt, not just what they produce?

  • Does pairing feel less awkward over time?

  • Any change in how roles collaborate outside the experiment?
