Five Ways of Working With AI

Five equally valid choices. The work determines which is appropriate; there is no required progression.

Human

Keep the work with people, by choice.

Tools

Use AI for a defined task, with human direction.

Agents

Delegate a sequence within defined limits.

Partners

Work with AI through sustained context, developed over time.

Networks

Bring people, AI partners and agents into a directed system.

A Way belongs to the work, not the person.
More AI is not the goal. The right Way is.

Four parts of the practice

The human practices that shape the quality of the work across all five Ways.

Values

What must remain true.

Judgement

What to trust, question, verify, reject or act upon.

Thinking

Framing questions, exploring possibilities, making connections and developing ideas.

Habits

The repeated behaviours that carry the Method into daily work and daily life.

Human accountability runs through the whole Method.

Reading & training

Explore the ideas.

Think With Me introduces the thinking behind the Method. Bolt Practice helps people put it to use through AI training for business.
