Co·ICo-Intelligence

We build tools that put AI judgment in the hands of the people closest to its consequences.

Frameworks and instruments for anyone working out, in their own context, what it means to think alongside a machine.

What is co-intelligence?

The capacity to work and grow with AI as a genuine partner — bringing what humans do best, and letting machines do the rest.

Not a skill to acquire. A way of carrying judgment, conscience, and craft into work that machines now share.

The framework, in four levels

CIRF v3

Five domains of co-intelligence practice. Each scored on the same four-level scale — Introductory, Developing, Effective, Highly Effective.

LEVEL 4 · HIGHLY EFFECTIVE
[CIRF v3 hallmark — Conscience, Highly Effective]

Judgment

Your assessment, as a report

CIRA v2

Paste the prompt into your AI model. It reads your conversation history, returns a behavioral report, and offers to export the full version as a PDF or markdown file.

You do not need anyone’s permission to begin.

If you are the lone teacher in your school thinking carefully about how AI is changing your students’ work, this is for you. If you are a parent, an organizer, a clinician, a tutor, a manager, a researcher, a writer — if you are anyone working out in your own context what it means to think alongside a machine — this is for you.

CIRF was built so that proximity to the work is the credential. The framework is the permission.

Common questions

How is co-intelligence different from AI literacy or prompt engineering?
Literacy and prompting are about operating the tool well. Co-intelligence is about what you carry into the work — judgment, conscience, lived context — that no model can supply.
Who is CIRF for?
Anyone whose work has consequences for other people and who wants a clearer language for how they think alongside AI. No credential, role, or permission required.
Is the framework empirically validated?
CIRF v3 is in active field use and iteration. Method notes accompany every change; validation studies are in progress with collaborators.
What does CIRA do with my conversation history?
Nothing leaves your model. CIRA is a prompt — the analysis happens inside your own AI session. We do not collect, store, or see your conversations.
