Vibe teaming is gaining more traction as a human-first way to blend team collaboration with AI. But how might you integrate it into your workflows? Jacob Taylor, a fellow in the Center for Sustainable Development at the Brookings Institution, breaks down a vibe teaming session from beginning to end in plain terms: how to position the problem, structure roles, set ground rules, and run a meeting that surfaces, refines, and plans — all using AI as a quiet facilitator, not the boss. Learn when vibe teaming works best, how to include introverts and asynchronous input, and ultimately what to do with your collective outputs to measure success.

Jacob Taylor
Jacob Taylor is a fellow in the Center for Sustainable Development at Brookings. His research focuses on mechanisms of collective intelligence for the world’s toughest challenges. He draws on his training as an anthropologist of human performance in elite teams to inform the design of new approaches to human-AI collaboration (such as “vibe teaming”) and digital and AI ecosystems that work for people and planet—and not the other way around. Taylor is a core secretariat member of 17 Rooms—a partnership with The Rockefeller Foundation for catalyzing new forms of collaborative problem-solving for the world’s Sustainable Development Goals. Prior to Brookings, Jacob was a consulting scientist to a DARPA program for developing an “AI teammate.” He has a background in professional team sports, representing his home country of Australia in Rugby 7s, 2009 to 2013. He received a Bachelor of Arts (Honors and Medal) from the University of Sydney and a Doctor of Philosophy in anthropology from the University of Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes scholar.
