Building with AI is a shared cognition system, not a faster delegation channel.

Studio 4 is where AI stops being something you use privately and becomes a participant in a team. That turns out to change almost everything.

What you will experience

You will build a small feature in a team of four, with AI in the room and one shared conversation between you. You will do it twice.

The first round is deliberately under-structured. Expect it to feel fast and slightly out of control. Do not try to fix that — notice it. The second round gives you something to work with, and the difference between the two rounds is the Studio.

What to watch for in yourself

• Who is actually holding the context — and whether it is only one person.
• The moment the team accepts code nobody can quite explain.
• Whether the tests are proving what the team intended, or just passing.
• When you go quiet. Spectating is the drift signal that is hardest to see from the inside.

What you will produce

Two things you keep: a Team Collaboration Protocol your team writes together, and an Individual AI Collaboration Card for your own solo work. Both are attached to the Live Session and Field Experiment lessons.

Working in a mob

If you have never worked in a mob, you are not behind — most people have not. Everything you need is explained live. Come willing to think out loud; that is the entire skill.

Be ready before the session

• Your AI of choice, signed in and ready to write code.
• Your IDE of choice, open and working.
• A new, empty project.
• Your Explorer Workbook, open.
• Ability to share your screen — you may be the one driving.

Your team will use one shared AI conversation, so any tool your group can all see will work.
