The AI Ready Model

Six levels. Six axes. One picture of where you stand.

A maturity model for AI proficiency. Plot yourself or your team across the six axes; the shape tells you what to work on next.

01
AI-Curious

You have tried AI, but it is not a consistent habit yet.

02
AI-Adopting

AI tools are in use, mostly through defaults and isolated wins.

03
AI-Building

Custom prompts, workflows, and internal tools are becoming normal.

04
AI-Delegating

Whole tasks move through AI with humans on review.

05
AI-First

AI is the default first move when new work appears.

06
AI-Native

Workflows assume AI as part of the operating layer.

What we believe

  1. 01

    AI proficiency is not a personality trait. It is a trainable operating habit.

  2. 02

    The work is specific. Generic AI advice creates generic outcomes.

  3. 03

    Teams need a shared map before they need another tool rollout.

  4. 04

    Better adoption starts with workflow evidence, not enthusiasm.

  5. 05

    The future belongs to people who can turn judgment into systems.

Built by Haroon Choudery. I have been teaching AI for eight years, first through AI For Anyone, the nonprofit I co-founded in 2017. Along the way I built Autoblocks, an AI evaluation platform used by Hinge Health and ClickHouse, interviewed 280+ leaders shipping AI at companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, and write the AI Ready newsletter to 50,000 readers each week.
