This demo explores how SharedShape might work through a hypothetical conversation about baking bread. Jordan, a software developer, followed a recipe but got a dense loaf. Maya, an experienced baker, helps him explore why—and his questions help her explain the things she usually takes for granted.
Follow their prepared conversation to see where AI could help, what they discover, and what they might keep. This is a possible application of the concept, with imagined AI assistance. No typing or role-playing is needed.One recipe. Two ways of seeing.

My picture: Maya brings the picture behind “watch the dough.” Jordan starts with a recipe and a question.
Their questions and corrections can reshape the account. Either person can bring the next idea.“Flour, water, yeast, salt. How complicated can it be?”
“I followed every step. My loaf still came out dense. Can we make one together?”
“Yes. Show me what happened. I watch the dough as well as the clock.”
