AI Archetypes is currently a feature that requires granting Pragmatico API access to your AI tenant.
Understanding your AI Archetype
Your AI Archetype is a single character, one of 16, that captures how you work with AI right now: how developed your craft is, and how much of a habit it has become. You'll find it on your My Coaching page and on your Home page, and it refreshes once a month.
It is a read on where you are today, not a grade and not a ranking against anyone else. As your work with AI changes, your archetype moves with it.
What your Archetype is
Every archetype sits on a grid with two axes: how good your AI work is (Quality, or craft) and how woven into your day it is (Usage, or habit). Where those two land, together, is your character.
Your archetype appears once your first proficiency cycle completes. Before then, both pages show a short placeholder.
The two things it measures
Two axes decide your archetype, and each is built from three smaller measures.
Quality (Craft) — are you using AI well?
Breadth: how many distinct kinds of work you apply AI to.
Depth: how far you take a task with AI beyond a first pass.
Sophistication: how advanced and repeatable your AI workflows are.
Usage (Habit) — how often and broadly do you use AI day to day?
Frequency: how regularly you reach for AI across the month.
Consistency: how evenly your use is spread, versus clumped into a few days.
Volume: how much you use AI within a given conversation.
How to read your own Archetype
Open My Coaching. The “Your AI Archetype” card at the top names your character and gives its one-line read.
Find yourself on the grid, under “Your overall AI proficiency level”. Your cell is outlined and marked You, with your character's name. How high it sits shows your craft; how far right it sits shows your habit.
Select Why am I this archetype? to open the detail. It has three parts:
What this Archetype is: the goal for someone in your position right now.
What we noticed about you: where your Quality and your Usage each landed this cycle, with the specific measures that stood out.
What moves you: the one area on each axis that would do the most to shift your position next cycle.
Reading your position is the fastest way to see your nearer gain. If you sit toward the left, more habit is the next move. If you sit toward the bottom, more craft is. The “What moves you” lines name the single measure to start with.
What it never does
It never shows a number, score, rank or percentile. Your archetype is a character, not a grade.
It never compares you to a named colleague. Your archetype is your own read, drawn from your own work.
It does not lock you in. It is recomputed every month from that cycle, so it moves as your work changes.
It does not appear before your first proficiency cycle completes. Until then, both pages show a placeholder.
The 16 Archetypes
Craft rises as you move up the grid, and habit grows as you move to the right. So the Trailblazer (deep craft, daily habit) sits top right, and the Onlooker (early on both) sits bottom left. Here is the full set, grouped from deepest craft to earliest, with the one-line read you see when you hover a character on the grid.
The Hermit
Where it sits | How this Archetype uses AI |
Deep craft · rare habit | Masterful craft, rarely shows up. The skill is real; the habit isn't there yet. |
The Specialist
Where it sits | How this Archetype uses AI |
Deep craft · occasional habit | Called on occasionally, delivers real craft when engaged. Building the routine, not the skill. |
The Craftsman
Where it sits | How this Archetype uses AI |
Deep craft · steady habit | Reliable habit, real craft. The baseline of dependable, high-quality use. |
The Trailblazer
Where it sits | How this Archetype uses AI |
Deep craft · daily habit | Deep craft, deeply embedded daily habit. The standard the rest of the org should copy. |
The Consultant
Where it sits | How this Archetype uses AI |
Solid craft · rare habit | Solid work when it happens, but AI isn't a reflex yet. |
The Journeyman
Where it sits | How this Archetype uses AI |
Solid craft · occasional habit | Solid fundamentals, habit still forming. The classic build-the-routine phase. |
The Settler
Where it sits | How this Archetype uses AI |
Solid craft · steady habit | Solid craft, dependable habit. Staked a claim and working it steadily. |
The Homesteader
Where it sits | How this Archetype uses AI |
Solid craft · daily habit | Solid craft, heavy daily use. Productive, not yet top-shelf refined. |
The Novice
Where it sits | How this Archetype uses AI |
Forming craft · rare habit | Just arrived. Craft and habit are both still forming. |
The Wanderer
Where it sits | How this Archetype uses AI |
Forming craft · occasional habit | Moving through the territory without a clear plan on either craft or habit. |
The Tourist
Where it sits | How this Archetype uses AI |
Forming craft · steady habit | Visits constantly, doesn't go deep. Volume without much value yet. |
The Grinder
Where it sits | How this Archetype uses AI |
Forming craft · daily habit | Heavy daily use, shallow craft. Churning volume, not refining it. |
The Onlooker
Where it sits | How this Archetype uses AI |
Early craft · rare habit | Hasn't really entered the territory on either axis yet. |
The Drifter
Where it sits | How this Archetype uses AI |
Early craft · occasional habit | Aimless movement. Little craft, inconsistent habit. |
The Tinkerer
Where it sits | How this Archetype uses AI |
Early craft · steady habit | Plays around often, without refining. Frequent but shallow. |
The Sprinter
Archetype | Where it sits | How this Archetype uses AI |
The Sprinter | Early craft · daily habit | Maximum use, minimum judgment. The riskiest combination, running hard in the wrong direction. |
