Framework
The AI-Native Collaboration Framework
Tim's line between AI bolted onto legacy tools and AI built as a first-class collaborator.
How it works
- 1Legacy tools (Miro, Mural, Notion, Google Docs) slap AI on top of architecture built for humans only.
- 2AI is never a first-class citizen in those tools, so nothing compounds.
- 3AI-native means the product is built from the ground up for humans and AI to collaborate as peers.
- 4The UX goes beyond chat: brainstorm, theme, vote, prioritize.
