Developing HAI
Human AND Artificial Intelligence
The AI industry has a transparency problem. Who did what? What are you paying for?
A doctor doesn't lose value by using an MRI machine. The value isn't in doing everything manually — it's in knowing when to engage, what to check, what the machine can't see.
If someone is selling you AI strategy but won't tell you how much AI was involved in creating it, ask yourself why.
Principles
- ✓Open source — inspect, adapt, contribute
- ✓Open wisdom — share what works, honestly
- ✓Track who did what — always
- ✓Price work fairly — AI absorbs cost, humans add value
HAI tracks three dimensions of every piece of work: who leads, how much human attention it needs, and how big it is. Simple enough to adopt tomorrow.
Who leads the execution? This isn't about replacement — it's about honest attribution.
- AI-ledAI does most of the execution. Human provides direction, review, and judgment calls.
- CollaborativeHuman and AI work together in real-time. Both contribute meaningfully to the output.
- Human-ledHuman does the work. AI assists with specific tasks — research, formatting, verification.
Not just for developers. HAI is for anyone making decisions about AI — executives, project managers, educators, policy makers. If you're buying AI work, commissioning AI projects, or managing AI teams, you need a framework for understanding what you're getting.
HAI was created using the process it describes. The methodology itself is the first case study.
The Meta-Story
Every spec, every feature of the BOB platform was tracked using HAI. The framework evolved as we used it — requirements changed, scopes shifted, and every decision is recorded with who did what.
Every feature, every bug fix, every spec — tagged with who did what. Real numbers from a real platform.

Work tracked with HAI
BOB is not a demo. It's a live platform handling real customer communication across voice, SMS, WhatsApp, email, and web chat. Every piece of work that built it is tagged with its HAI assessment.
