Early AI adoption by PMs is often a 'single-player' activity. The next step is a 'multiplayer' experience where the entire team operates from a shared AI knowledge base, which breaks down silos by automatically signaling dependencies and overlapping work.

Most AI tools are single-player experiences. Linear is designing its agent sessions to be shared, collaborative spaces. Multiple people, like a PM and a designer, can jump into the same chat with an agent, see its work, and give it feedback together, collapsing the collaboration loop.

Isolated AI workflows create team disconnects. Pablo Stanley argues for integrating agents into shared, Slack-like environments where they become first-class participants. This allows for transparent, collaborative work between humans and AI, rather than having individuals work with agents in private.

Current AI hits like ChatGPT are "single-player" tools. The next breakthrough will be a social, multiplayer experience built on network effects and user-generated content, an area where technically-focused AI labs are culturally weak.

Today, most AI use is siloed, with individuals prompting alone. The real value is unlocked when AI becomes a team sport, with specialists building systems that are shared, iterated upon, and used collaboratively across the entire organization.

While chat works for human-AI interaction, the infinite canvas is a superior paradigm for multi-agent and human-AI collaboration. It allows for simultaneous, non-distracting parallel work, asynchronous handoffs, and persistent spatial context—all of which are difficult to achieve in a linear, turn-based chat interface.

While products like GrokBot push the 'team of AI agents' metaphor, some argue this is counterproductive. An alternative model is emerging: a shared workspace where teams access skills and context, treating AI as a shared utility or consultant rather than managing numerous individual AI 'teammates.'

While AI acts as a 'superpower' for individual productivity, it creates a new risk: isolation. As professionals spend more time interacting with AI, they spend less time in 'messy' but vital human collaborations with colleagues, potentially stifling serendipity, mentorship, and team cohesion.

Prompting AI for code changes is an inherently solo activity. By importing code into Figma, teams can leverage its native multiplayer features. This allows for real-time, parallel collaboration and ideation that is impossible to replicate in a single-user IDE environment.
