There’s a lot of talk about AI these days. Some say it will replace your job. Others argue it’s just another widget in your stack and will make things messier, not smarter. But as builders of the next generation of AI, we see something deeper: something is missing, and it’s time to fix it.

‍It’s not “artificial intelligence” that’s the problem. It’s the way we force it to work outside our world. The truth is, AI should not try to be your boss or your replacement. By letting go of the idea that AI must manage or automate everything, we can make it clear: the real value of AI is in enabling people and teams, not controlling them.

This isn’t a brand-new concept. Years ago, the best teams didn’t build tools to “manage” — they built tools that let people create, connect, and move faster. They focused on making progress possible, not on adding layers of process.

‍We believe it’s time to do the same for AI. There are countless ways to use AI inside a company, but a few principles are timeless. That’s why we’ve written this manifesto: to capture what matters most for anyone building or using AI at work, so that intelligence doesn’t just sound artificial — it actually feels yours.
