AI-First Company Framework
People and AI. Organized together.
How does a company work when people and AI work together? The AI-First Company Framework describes a provider-independent organizational model that connects tasks, knowledge, decisions, and responsibility.
It grew out of exploring how to build Yamarti. As an openly published reference model, it is intended for people who want to build companies with AI or develop existing organizations further.
Structuring collaboration
What capabilities does a company need, and how do people, AI agents, and software contribute? The framework describes a shared structure for tasks, responsibilities, and collaboration.
Preserving company knowledge
Knowledge, experience, and decisions should remain accessible to the company over time. The model describes how people and AI can build on them, with traceable sources and defined access rights.
Autonomy with clear boundaries
AI agents can work independently within explicitly granted authority. The framework separates technical capabilities from actual permissions and describes how actions remain auditable, limited, and interruptible.
Keeping technology replaceable
Models, providers, and tools continue to evolve. The framework therefore separates the capabilities a company needs from their technical implementation. Switching should remain possible while preserving knowledge, requirements, and responsibilities.
Explore the framework
Architecture, reference design, and technical requirements form three layers that build on one another. You can start with a specific question. The repository also includes a starter prompt for exploring the framework together with an AI assistant.
