Four Modes is an interactive framework by Tey Bannerman that explores how humans and AI collaborate across different ways of working. Rather than treating AI as a single type of assistant, the framework introduces four distinct modes of interaction, helping teams understand when AI should automate, collaborate, guide, or execute tasks.
Designed for product teams, designers, developers, and business leaders, Four Modes provides a practical mental model for building AI-native products and workflows. It encourages creators to think beyond prompts and chat interfaces, focusing instead on the evolving relationship between human judgment and machine intelligence.
Presented through an immersive, editorial-style website, the framework transforms a complex AI concept into an engaging and accessible learning experience.
