Is AI silently forcing us to work alone, while creativity always thrives on collaboration? In this conversation, I’m joined by Joseph “Coop” Cooper, co-founder of Nullshot, to lay out a different vision for how AI should support makers, builders, and teams. And before Interstellar fans get too excited, this isn’t the cinematic space explorer navigating wormholes; this is a serial entrepreneur building something very real on Earth, where conversations turn into working applications in real time.
Coop shares how his journey from modifying video games as a child to launching multiple crypto and developer tools ventures shaped his belief that today’s AI tools rely too heavily on individual productivity. He explains the thinking behind Nullshot’s jam rooms, where multiple people can co-create with AI in a shared space, rather than building in isolation. We explore how this model encourages softer voices to contribute, taking the pressure of pitching ideas and replacing them with live prototypes that speak for themselves.
In addition to the enthusiasm for this shared future, Coop also addresses the more difficult questions around ownership, fair credit and how contributions should be recognized without being trifled with. There is an honest debate about whether AI-powered creation lowers barriers for everyone or risks shifting too much power to the platforms that control them. The balance between opportunity and risk feels central to what Nullshot is trying to achieve.
As teams, founders, and makers look for better ways to bring ideas to life together, this conversation provides an informed look at what shared AI creation could mean in practice. Are we ready to move from solo engagements to collective building, and what might that shift say about how we define creativity in the next phase of digital work?
How do you think collaborative AI can change the way your team builds, and how would you feel about sharing ownership in a live creative space?
