AI as a Colleague, Not a Search Box
The timeless mental model of treating AI as an individual contributor peer whose output scales with briefing and supervision quality.
Architectural Orientation
Part of the Prompting & Model Skills sub-track in AI Context Playbooks, AI as a Colleague, Not a Search Box defines the critical patterns and verification criteria needed for production reliability.
Key Engineering Principles
Enforce strict input sanitization, JSON schema compliance, and post-generation guardrails to maintain system predictability.
Bind all prompt modifications to automated regression evaluation suites with quantitative threshold pass/fail assertions.
Stream token usage, p95 latency, model confidence scores, and hallucination indicators directly to enterprise OpenTelemetry collectors.
Analyze AI as a Colleague mindset for probabilistic systems.
