CHAI-DT:
Prompting Conversational Generative AI Agents to Actively Participate in Co-creation

CHAI-DT is a prompting framework that enables groups participating in design thinking to engage ChatGPT as an active, useful, and creative partner. This framework is adaptable to many design thinking activities (and many other collaborative workshop activities).

HCI Researchers Anna Kantosalo and Tapio Takala describe Successful Human-Computer Co-Creativity as:

“the interactions within a human–computer collective, the collective’s collaboration process and creative contributions to a community, all situated within a rich context.”
Anna Kantosalo and Tapio Takala. 2020. Five C’s forHuman-Computer Co-Creativity – An Update on Classical Creativity Perspectives In International Conference on Innovative Computing and Cloud Computing.

Design Thinking closely aligns with this model (minus the computer)

This framework is differentiated from DT by specifying the “human-initiative vs.computational-initiative” dichotomy, but this measure of success can also be used to describe a successful DT session, the only difference being that humans are the only participants with creative initiative in traditional DT.

A collective group of individuals (minus the computer)

utilize their ”individual subjective” context
‍
in reference to a community (e.g.user or user-group, members of which are ideally encouraged to participate in Design Thinking)

‍in a narrowly-scoped ”idealized objective” context defined in the setting of the DT session (e.g.problem space, process, etc.)

so they may collaborate with each other through the Design Thinking framework and ultimately contribute creative artifacts (e.g.ideas, observations etc.)
