Collaborative AI Input Interaction
This component emerged from a real problem we faced during team brainstorming sessions. We were all trying to interact with an ChatGPT simultaneously, and it was chaos - nobody knew who was asking what or when.
What started as a quick fix turned into something more interesting. The challenge wasn't just technical - it was about making collaboration feel natural. I found inspiration in how people naturally take turns in conversations, adding subtle visual cues to show who's speaking and who's thinking.
The most valuable feedback came from our design team's daily use. They pointed out how the initial version felt too "chat-like" and formal. The current design evolved to feel more like a shared whiteboard where ideas flow freely, but everyone's participation remain clear and traceable.
