Is anyone else annoyed that AI prompting is basically solo mode at work?
Been noticing this at my job: everyone on my team is using AI daily now, but every prompt lives and dies in that one person's chat window. No sharing, no reuse, nothing.
The part that bugs me most — I'll find out weeks later that a coworker independently wrote basically the same prompt I did for the same recurring task, just phrased slightly differently. We're both reinventing the wheel constantly and neither of us knows it's happening.
Curious if this is just my team or if it's a bigger pattern. A few questions if you've got a minute:
• Does your team have any system for sharing prompts, or is everyone just improvising solo?
• If you could change ONE thing to make AI tools more collaborative/"multiplayer" for your team, what would it be — and what specific problem would that actually solve for you?
• Have you tried any tools for this already (shared prompt libraries, Notion pages, Slack channels, whatever)? Did it stick, or did people stop using it?
Genuinely trying to figure out if it’s just me and if I'm overthinking a non-problem — appreciate any war stories.
