Co-editing pattern is an extension of Augmentation aspect outlined in Automation or Augmentation. AI Co-Editing is a UX pattern where AI acts as a collaborative assistant, offering real-time suggestions while keeping the user in control. AI Co-Editing is a way for AI to work with you, not for you. It gives real-time suggestions while keeping you in charge. The AI helps with speed and quality but leaves big decisions to you. Why It Matters

• Keeps you creative while saving time on boring tasks.

• Helps you stay in control of your work.

• Builds trust because you make the final call.

• Makes creating feel more like a conversation.
  

When to Use It

• When you want to stay in control but still want help.

• When you're writing, designing, coding, or planning and want suggestions—not full automation.

Example

• User’s Job: Writes a prompt like “sustainable living.”

• AI’s Job: Drafts a rough 5-slide deck.

• Working Together:

  • As you edit, the AI suggests better wording or new layouts.

  • You accept, change, or reject the ideas instantly.

  • You stay in the lead, while the AI helps move things faster.
