What is AI Co-design?

Using AI as a creative partner to widen options, while people keep the direction.

What you learn

Use AI to widen your options; people decide what fits the intent.

When it helps

you’re exploring ideas with generative AI, and its suggestions narrow or pull off course.

Use it at work

  1. Write your intent before you start.
  2. Ask the AI for many varied options.
  3. Ask for missing points of view and unusual directions.
  4. Choose and edit against your intent, not the AI’s.

Your output

When you work with AI on ideas, write your intent first. After each round, name whose perspective is still missing.

Watch for

Accepting AI ideas that narrow toward the generic, or letting AI set the direction.
