“We can know more than we can tell.”

— Michael Polanyi

A lot of what makes someone exceptional at their work is hard to write down.

It is in how they approach a problem, what they notice, what they try first, when they change direction, how they recover from mistakes, and the small decisions they make along the way.

Much of this process is difficult to preserve as data.

Parergon is a research lab studying how to capture more of it, so AI can learn from the way skilled people actually work.

Not just how to use tools, but how to reason, adapt, build, and improve through them.

We want to teach AI how great work gets done.
