The Human Journey: 5 Stages of AI Mastery
From Curious Kids to The Icons — the five stages people move through as they adopt AI, and how to help someone move up a stage.
| Stage | What it looks like | How to help |
|---|---|---|
| Curious Kids | Playing, generating content, exploring. | Encourage play. Don't force ROI or business cases yet. |
| Hackers | Sporadic use, finding time-saving moments (10 min wins). | Help them find one thing that saves them 10 minutes. |
| Evolvers | Systematic habit, building simple agents for recurring tasks. | Standardise. "You do this task every Tuesday? Let's bottle the process for you." |
| Revolutionaries | AI-First mindset, never typing, always talking. | Push boundaries. Connect different workflows and agents together. |
| The Icons | Force multipliers, obsessed with helping others. | Lead the agency. You are building the legacy of how Havas works. |
Pro hack: at first, using a prompt or setting a retrieval toggle feels clunky. But through repetition, it becomes as natural as opening PowerPoint. Be patient with yourself.
