Not sure where to start?
You need a Buddy.

The fastest path from "I should probably try this AI thing" to "I can't imagine working without it" runs through another person.

Exhibit A: Two delivery robots, both brilliant on their own, staring at the same tree forever because they didn't have a buddy.
The thesis

People don't fail to adopt AI because they don't know what it is. They fail because they tried it once, got a mediocre answer, and concluded it didn't work — with nobody next to them to say "here, ask it like this."

/01 — THE MODEL

How a buddy
match works.

We use real M365 usage signals — not self-nomination — to identify power users, then pair them with curious newcomers around a small, real piece of work. Learning happens as a byproduct of shipping something that matters.

01

Find the actual power users

Token-counter telemetry from M365 surfaces the people already getting real value from AI in their day. No volunteers. No politics. Just behavior.

Data-driven
02

Pair on a small, real project

Newbies bring an actual piece of work — a draft, a report, a stuck spreadsheet. Buddies show, don't tell. Two weeks. One concrete outcome. Both names on it.

Outcome-focused
03

Graduate, then mentor

Today's newbie is next quarter's buddy. The program scales by design — every successful pairing creates another power user who can take on a newcomer.

Self-compounding

The usual approach

AI training" people sit through on mute, and a hope that exposure equals adoption.

What actually works

Someone you already trust, sitting next to you, on a real piece of your real work, showing you the thing the prompt library can't: judgment.
