AI / Tools

Practical experiments with AI, software, prompts, and workflows that preserve agency and dignity.

Central question

How can modern tools expand agency without flattening judgment, attention, or human dignity?

What is being tested

AI / Tools is the room for experiments that turn insight into usable artifacts.

The test is not whether a tool is impressive. The test is whether it increases clarity, agency, usefulness, and care.

Open questions

  • Which workflows make people more capable?
  • What should remain slow, human, and relational?
  • How can prompts become ladders from confusion to action?

Emerging artifacts

  • Prompt libraries
  • Workflow notes
  • Tool audits
  • Small software experiments

I just read about AI / Tools as a testing room in RC Field Notes. Help me name what is being tested, what questions are still open, and what artifact could be created next.
