Overview

How might we design output sharing so people can trust and act on AI output?

When to use

  • Ideal for collaboration tools, content platforms, and workflows where sharing AI-generated outputs enables teamwork and knowledge distribution.

When to skip

  • Outputs containing secrets or PII that cannot be redacted.
  • Enterprise tenants forbidding public links entirely.
  • Ephemeral drafts with no review step before share.

Rules

  • Public-by-default links with no warning.

  • Share with no revoke or expiry.

  • Shared view that leaks prompt or private context.

  • Export formats that strip attribution or safety labels.
