In this blog, I describe how Kaamfu is embracing AI through the Agent Protégé Program, encouraging employees to adopt and engage with AI tools suited to their work. I highlight the program’s dual purpose: skill development and identifying those eager to grow with AI. While the transition is challenging, I stress its importance for long-term resilience. Our goal is clear: build a workforce that confidently commands AI’s potential.
As artificial intelligence races forward, one thing is becoming increasingly clear inside Kaamfu: none of us will be working the same way in 2026 that we are in 2025. The tools, expectations, and skills required to remain valuable in an AI-augmented workforce are evolving fast. But with that speed comes uncertainty — for companies, for managers, and for workers themselves.
At Kaamfu (and Prospus), we’re taking a simple, structured approach to preparing our teams: the Agent Protégé Program.
The premise is straightforward. Every worker will “adopt” one or more AI tools — their own agent protégés. These may be as simple as using ChatGPT or Claude for research, drafting, and coding assistance. For some, it may involve building custom bots, integrating APIs, or experimenting with specialized AI services relevant to their role. Each person can choose which system(s) to work with based on their comfort level, interests, and job function.
The important part isn’t which tool they use. It’s that they engage. As they do, they will:
- Document how they are using their agents.
- Capture what works, what doesn’t, and where gaps remain.
- Build up a monthly journal of AI interaction and impact.
- Share learnings and practices with peers across the company.
The reality is: the technology isn’t fully mature — yet. Nobody’s job is being directly replaced by AI in this moment. But we are moving toward an environment where those who know how to effectively collaborate with AI will have enormous leverage over those who don’t. By building this habit early, we ensure that our workforce stays on the leading edge of adoption.
There is also a second benefit, one that any responsible business must quietly prepare for: over time, these journals will reveal something else — not just who can work with AI, but who wants to. As AI capabilities improve, those who have embraced the Agent Protégé model will naturally rise into more advanced and resilient roles. Those who resist or disengage may eventually find that their roles become less aligned with where the company — and the economy — are headed.
We won’t pretend this transition is easy or comfortable. But it is necessary. The Agent Protégé Program isn’t about forcing anyone to train their replacement; it’s about ensuring that the right people are growing alongside the very systems that will define the next decade of work. And for those who embrace it, the opportunity is enormous.
We are not building a workforce that fears AI. We are building a workforce that commands it.
