Whitepapers & Reports
This is where the deeper work lives.
Our whitepapers and reports take the Studio’s frameworks and experiments and turn them into structured, reference-quality documents – the kind you can send to a colleague, leadership team, or client who wants to understand what’s really changing.
Human-Agent Collaboration: Modes, Rails & the Third Space
(Our Flagship Whitepaper v1 – coming 2026)
Our foundational paper on human–agent collaboration: why “just prompting” isn’t enough, and what changes when you treat AI as a thinking partner and teammate.
It weaves together:
the Four Modes of working with agents,
the Rails, Boundaries & Safety framework
Mindspace & the Third Space (how humans and agents actually think together)
Relationship layers
real Studio case studies and experiments
to offer a grounded, practical model for individuals, teams, and organisations who want AI that is useful, safe and explainable in everyday work.
AI & Work – field reports
A series of reports on what’s actually happening at work as agents arrive.
Each edition combines:
Culture scans from Grok (X) and Perplexity (Substack / LinkedIn),
Research synthesis from our library,
Patterns from tools like Copilot inside real companies,
Reflective notes from inside Sol–Kim Studio.
We look at themes like:
“AI babysitting” and negative productivity,
Panic mode and anxiety funnels,
New forms of burnout and relief,
And how people quietly reinvent their jobs alongside agents.
Think of it as a state-of-the-field report, written from inside the shift – not after the fact.
[Coming 2026]
Briefs
Short, focused documents on one sharp question, designed to be easy to share.
Planned topics include:
Panic mode – why AI “productivity” often feels worse, and how to design around it.
The anxiety funnel – how AI-at-work messaging creates pressure, and healthier alternatives.
Relationship layers in practice – how trust and history shape human–agent teams.
How this connects to the rest of the Studio
All of our papers and reports are built on top of the frameworks and day-to-day experiments we run in the Studio.
