Weavers are project-focused and utilize AI to achieve their end goals, integrating AI-generated content more extensively than a Gardener. They are not concerned with how much AI they use, as long as it serves the project. Weavers have one or two go-to models that they rely on to get the job done, indicating a preference for efficiency and effectiveness over experimentation.

Weavers are distinguished by their project-oriented approach to AI. Their primary concern is the completion and success of their writing projects, and they integrate AI-generated content extensively to achieve this goal. The use of AI is driven by the needs of the project rather than by a desire to experiment with AI for its own sake.
Unlike Gardeners, Weavers are comfortable weaving together their writing with substantial amounts of AI-generated content. They do not limit their use of AI but instead embrace it as a significant component of their creative process.
Weavers tend to have one or two preferred AI models that they rely on consistently. Once they find models that work well for them and their projects, they stick with them, indicating a preference for efficiency and familiarity over exploring new or different AI tools. It’s not uncommon for weavers to use “older” versions of an LLM and let other users report the kinks and quirks of the newer LLM. Similarly, weavers might be less likely to adapt or experiment with the latest and greatest AI, reserving their time and energy for what they know works.
Weavers do not impose limitations on what AI can do for them. Their approach is characterized by a willingness to let AI play a minor or major role in their work, as long as it serves the project's needs.
Weavers are pragmatic and straightforward about their use of AI, focusing on its utility for completing projects. They might express this by saying things like, "I use AI to get my project done," highlighting their goal-oriented mindset.
Weavers view AI as a co-creator or partner in the writing process. They are more open to integrating AI-generated material into their work, seeing it as a valuable resource for achieving their creative and project goals.
Weavers are often motivated by deadlines or specific project outcomes. Their approach to AI is pragmatic and results-oriented, prioritizing the completion and success of their work over the exploration of AI's capabilities.
Advanced Weavers start to show traits of the next Job Type, Baker, by running larger selections of prose to “weave in” to their story. Some Advanced Weavers run a full draft and then rewrite the entire thing. Other Advanced Weavers find peace in their productivity speed, looking holistically at how quickly they are finishing projects or experiencing health benefits of using AI as an adaptive technology.
