Design a universal language for human-AI communication

Natural language is ambiguous. Code is too rigid. Design a communication format or language that allows humans and AI to collaborate with precision AND nuance, something between English and Python.

The brief

Solve it in plain text with any AI you like, in about 10 to 20 minutes. A judge scores how you reasoned, not whether you matched an answer.

Prompt engineering is a band-aid. Structured outputs help but limit expressiveness. Visual programming (Scratch, node editors) works for simple tasks but doesn't scale. The gap between human intent and AI interpretation causes 40% of AI errors.

Constraints

Must be learnable by non-programmers in < 1 week
Must express intent, constraints, and preferences
Must handle ambiguity gracefully
Must work for text, images, code, and data
