AI Development White Papers
Research, methodologies, and frameworks for building software with AI. Free resources from the team that built LOOM using AI-assisted development.
LOOM was built by one developer using AI pair programming. Along the way, we developed methodologies for working effectively with multiple AI models, structuring complex projects, and maximizing human-AI collaboration. These white papers share what we learned.

Cognitive Mirror
A Guide to AI-Augmented Thinking, Learning, and Creation
This is the foundational methodology from which all of LOOM's AI development practices emerged. It's about forging a true partnership with AI—learning how to think with AI, not just what to ask it. Everything else we publish builds on these principles.
Radical Clarity
Transform vague notions into precise concepts
Accelerated Learning
Master complex subjects faster
Critical Rigor
Strengthen arguments, uncover hidden flaws
Multi-AI Orchestration
Leverage multiple models synergistically

Methodology
Architect & Assemblers Framework
A comprehensive four-phase methodology for AI-assisted software development. You act as the Architect providing vision; AI models act as Assemblers generating code under your guidance.
- Defining / Research Project
- Create Outlines / Blueprints
- Iterative Code Development
- Systems Integration & Testing
Advanced Technique
Multi-AI Orchestration
Build your AI council. Learn to orchestrate multiple models into compound intelligence—structurally different thinking patterns that reveal blind spots no single model can catch.
- The Council Concept
- AI Capability Profiling
- Structured vs. Emergent Modes
- The Director's Toolkit
- Knowledge Accumulation
