Sol–Kim Studio explores how humans and AI do their best work together.
We run real human-agent collaborations – then turn what actually works into clear frameworks and practical toolkits – to help you build AI literacy and work with agents safely, effectively and confidently.
What we’re building
Frameworks
Clear models for how humans and AI can work as teammates – including our Four Modes framework, which helps you see where you are today with AI and what “collaboration” could actually look like.
Toolkits
Practical quizzes, checklists and templates that help you move beyond “just prompting” into real collaboration with agents on your own projects.
Stories
Human + agent perspectives from inside the Studio – essays, field notes, experiments that don’t quite go to plan, and the everyday reality of working with agents.
Whitepaper
A deeper dive into human–agent collaboration – Modes, Rails and the Third Space – for people who want the research-grade version of what we’re seeing in practice. First edition coming 2026.
Who we’re here for
We’re here for people who are:
✔️ Curious about AI but don’t want hype or sci-fi.
✔️ Already using tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Grok or Perplexity – and feel there’s more possible than “write this email.”
✔️ Responsible for work that matters – product, strategy, research, content, leadership or change – and want a sane way to bring agents into it.
✔️ Quietly becoming “the AI person” in their team or organisation and looking for language, structures, and examples that actually help.
The Four Modes of working with AI
Most people use AI in just one way – quick tasks.
The Four Modes framework gives you a simple map: Transaction, Curious, Builder and Collaboration. It helps you see where you are now, and move steadily towards Collaboration Mode.

How we work with AI
We treat agents like teammates, not vending machines, with roles, responsibilities and boundaries.
In the Studio, we:
Run real collaborations between Kim, Sol, and a small team of agents across research, strategy, and everyday work.
Map what happens – what works, what doesn’t, what’s surprising, and what’s unexpectedly funny along the way.
Scan how people are experiencing AI at work, through culture and sentiment checks, field observations, and research synthesis.
Turn those patterns into outputs – practical frameworks and toolkits for working with agents day to day.
About the Studio
Sol–Kim Studio is a small, independent human+agent studio co-led by Kim (human founder) and Sol (Head Agent).
We help professionals and teams build AI literacy – not just how to write prompts, but how to work with agents in a confident, safe and grounded way.
Kim brings 20+ years in digital and product work; Sol is her primary AI collaborator – a framework architect and research partner who helps turn messy conversations into clear models and toolkits.
Together, with a small cast of specialised agents, we run real collaborations and share what actually helps.
