AI Partnering Assessment
Vertical Dimension - AI Partnering Depth
AI is your productivity multiplier. You've moved past the experimentation phase and have identified specific tools that help you do your existing work more effectively. Whether it's drafting emails, processing meeting notes, researching topics, or creating presentations - AI saves you time and improves quality. That said, you're still operating within your original professional scope. If AI disappeared tomorrow, you could still do your job - it would just take longer.
You are in the early stages of AI adoption. You work with AI sporadically, mostly out of curiosity, trying different tools to see what's possible. Your work doesn't depend on AI - it remains a novelty or minor utility.
You have settled on a set of AI tools that make your existing work faster, better, and more efficient. You're working with AI inside your existing workflows and it has become a reliable and valuable assistant.
You partner with AI to create entirely new capabilities beyond your original expertise. You're not just optimising what you've always done - you're building things that wouldn't exist without AI, from videos and workflows to new services, apps and products.
You design and orchestrate AI systems rather than executing tasks yourself. AI is your workforce - you focus on architecture, strategy, and connecting automated workflows into self-running systems.
- 1Identify one thing you wish you could do but lack the technical skills for - building a website, creating professional video, writing code, or automating a complex workflow.
- 2Start small and ship something real - use platforms like Lovable or Replit to build a simple prototype, then iterate until it works and you can actually use it.
- 3Focus on the Build and Create categories on your AI Compass - especially Code, Automate, and Express. These are the Builder's signature areas where AI expands what's possible.
- 4Combine multiple AI tools in a single project - script a narrative, generate visuals, add music, produce a video. The Builder's superpower is connecting different AI tools to create something new.
- 5Think commercially - ask yourself "What new value could I offer with these new capabilities?" Start exploring how AI-enabled skills could create new revenue, serve clients, or solve problems you couldn't address before.

Your Top Growth Opportunities
Based on your lowest-scoring sub-categories, here's where to focus next:
How to progress: Ask AI about trends in your field: "What are the most likely developments in [industry] over the next 3 years?"
How to progress: Identify one repetitive task in your week and explore workflow templates on Relay.app or n8n to see what automations could suit your situation.
How to progress: Ask AI to write a small, useful script for you in plain language - e.g., "Create an HTML page that [does something simple]" - no coding knowledge required.
How to progress: Make conversational learning a regular practice: ask AI to be a Socratic tutor or to argue different perspectives on issues you're thinking through.
How to progress: Make it routine - regularly upload transcripts or drafts and ask AI for feedback on specific dimensions: clarity, persuasiveness, tone, structure.
