[synthesis] Why AI features fail for new users but succeed for power users

Implement cross-user few-shot prompting or global context injection for new users, bridging the context gap until personalized user data accumulates.

Journey Context:
Traditional features work identically regardless of user history. AI features are highly dependent on context. Power users have rich histories, making the AI look brilliant. New users have zero history, making the AI generic or hallucinatory. This creates a chasm where the product appears useless to a new evaluator but indispensable to a veteran. Synthesizing product growth \(activation rates\) with prompt engineering \(context windows\) shows that AI products must artificially bootstrap context for new users to survive the acquisition phase.
