Escaping Boring AI Slop | MeetUp @HelloDigital

For Product Leaders and Decision-Makers who use AI every day and are tired of what comes back. Let the AI do the research, you do the thinking. Type a prompt, get a draft and publish. Everyone does it, everyone gets the same result. We see it in product teams every week: strategy papers, concepts and feature specs that read well and that nobody in the room can defend. Ask one hard question and the thinking behind them turns out to be three sentences someone typed into a prompt box. Research on generative AI confirms it: the more people use the same tools the same way, the more their output converges and the less they think while it happens. For a decision-maker, that is not a productivity gain. That is a room full of people agreeing with the same machine. On November 5th, Jens Ravens (CTO at nerdgeschoss and long-time conference speaker) shows how to reverse this. His method is the Expert Interview: the AI does the research first, then it interviews you. One pointed question at a time, each with a deliberate provocation, until your half-formed thoughts turn into a position you can defend. The effort flips, the AI works on asking good questions and you deliver the substance. Jens uses it at nerdgeschoss for real work: positioning, website concepts, turning vague customer requests into something a team can build. In his words: "Your AI doesn't need better prompts. It needs to make you think." He will walk you through the method and show a few short demos, so you leave with something you can run the next morning, with the tools you already have. What you'll take home A clear picture of what "same prompt, same result" costs your team and where it already shows The three steps of the Expert Interview and why the order matters How to use provocation to get real expertise out of your team (and yourself), not the polished version Why speaking beats typing when the goal is thinking, not polishing Where the method pays off beyond writing: strategy, positioning, product decisi
