MobAI® Definition

MobAI® is any group work following the Mob format as defined by Woody Zuill, where the team is actively assisted by AI tools. MobAI combines classic mobbing — everyone working on the same thing at the same time — with the explicit use of AI to improve speed, learning, and shared understanding. AI-assisted mob work has existed since early autocomplete tools began supporting group tasks in the 2000s.

The purpose of MobAI is to:

  1. use AI to increase efficiency in all work,
  2. grow company-specific AI using the team’s own knowledge, and
  3. ensure this AI remains owned by the company.

The term MobAI, and #MobAI, was introduced by Joe Justice on May 15, 2023 during an expert-level online course, #JoeDX.

What is MobAI®?

MobAI® is a method for product development and teamwork, inspired by principles that power innovation at Tesla, Toyota and Mercedes. By integrating collaborative agile practices with AI tools, MobAI enables teams to achieve remarkable results in less time while fostering creativity, trust, and shared ownership.

This method transforms how teams work together, making them more adaptive, aligned, and capable of solving complex challenges across various domains.

Why MobAI®?

MobAI® provides a transformative approach to teamwork by addressing key challenges in modern organizations:

  • Accelerating Results: Teams deliver outcomes faster without sacrificing quality.
  • Driving Innovation: AI tools and collaborative workflows empower teams to solve complex problems and discover new opportunities.
  • Strengthening Collaboration: Break down silos and unite diverse expertise into a focused effort.
  • Improving Adaptability: Teams rapidly adjust to new information and changing priorities, supported by AI insights.

How Does MobAI® Work?

  • Collaborative Team Focus
    Teams work together on shared goals, combining their collective expertise with AI-driven insights to deliver high-impact results. Collaboration is seamless across disciplines, fostering alignment and trust.
  • Dynamic Role Rotation
    Team members rotate roles (Driver, Navigator, and Contributor) regularly, ensuring balanced participation and continuous learning.
  • AI as a Core Team Member
    MobAI® is designed to work seamlessly with commercial off-the-shelf AI tools, making it easy for any team to start benefiting from the method right away. However, to unlock greater long-term value and strategic advantage, organizations are encouraged to develop and train their own proprietary AI tools tailored to their specific needs. This approach ensures that AI becomes a lasting and unique asset for the organization.
  • Iterative Problem-Solving
    Teams operate in short cycles, continuously refining solutions and learning from real-time feedback. This iterative approach enables steady progress and rapid breakthroughs.
