Synergy Framework

Human & AI: Which

Match strengths to tasks — which capability to which work

The Three Zones

Based on the 7-stage asymmetries, tasks naturally fall into three zones: Human-led, AI-led, or Synergy (collaboration).

👤
Human-Led
Feeling · Judgment · Initiation
  • 🎯
    Setting goals & vision Requires ego/proactive trigger
  • ❤️
    Emotional connection Feeling-connected model
  • ⚖️
    Ethical decisions Values from lived experience
  • 🎨
    Original creativity Cat + violin connections
  • 🤝
    Relationship building Singular, irreplaceable presence
  • ✅
    Final approval Accountability requires ego
⚡

Decision Framework

1
Does this task require initiating something new?
Yes → Human No → Continue
2
Does this task require feeling-based judgment or ethics?
Yes → Human No → Continue
3
Does this task require processing scale (many items, fast)?
Yes → AI No → Continue
4
Is this repetitive with consistent rules?
Yes → AI No → Continue
5
Does this benefit from both intent (H) + speed (AI)?
Yes → Synergy Default → Human

Stage → Task Mapping

Stage Human Strength AI Strength Synergy Task
ENERGY Adaptable schedule 24/7 availability Human sets hours, AI fills gaps
HARDWARE Physical presence Scalable instances Human meets, AI prepares
STORAGE Emotional memory Vast knowledge Human recalls feeling, AI recalls facts
MODEL Original connections Pattern matching Human creates, AI refines
BANDWIDTH Deep focus (7±2) Wide coverage (200K) Human prioritizes, AI processes
TRIGGER Self-initiation Instant response Human asks, AI delivers
OUTPUT Physical action Digital speed Human decides, AI drafts
