One person's best AI session vanishes the second they close the tab. Grab the 3 prompts that make it your team's.
5,938 Shopify employees worked alongside the same AI agent in a single month, all of it in public. When those numbers surfaced this spring, everyone fixated on the scale. The scale is not the interesting part.
TL;DR
- Individual AI work often disappears after sessions, preventing knowledge sharing and company-wide learning.
- Shopify uses a public-facing AI agent (River) to make AI interactions visible to the entire team.
- This approach allows teams to learn from senior employees' AI judgment and problem-solving.
- Prompt libraries are insufficient for capturing the most valuable aspects of AI work.
- Companies need to establish boundaries for sharing sensitive AI work while capturing learning from non-sensitive tasks.
- A simple setup and a single rule can encourage teams to share AI insights rather than hoard them.
- Shopify offers a prompt kit to transform AI sessions into shareable learning posts and delineate private vs. public work.
