To you at the top
At the top, there is no next rank for you. Instead there is a role: to guide people so they can use AI safely and with enjoyment.
- Make the first step lighter for beginners. Build, with your own words and tools, an entrance that makes a Novice from this diagnosis think, "I'll try talking to it."
- Spread the practices of safety and trust. Hand over how to verify, how to handle information and how to stop, through both systems and words.
- Distribute your tools in a form others can use. You are probably building your own summoning tools by now. Add a user guide and acceptance steps, and the tool raises the next summoner.
- Show the joy. Being seen to enjoy your daily work with AI is the greatest guidance of all.

Takt AI Console
For you, who are already building your own summoning tools. A Mac app for launching, directing and approving Claude Code across several projects (folders) from one place. Each project's Claude Code runs in a real terminal view, and every action that needs approval is gathered in an approval pane on the right. Adding worker threads, scheduling runs for a set time and handing over long conversations are all handled by the app.
The early-access release is free (for Apple silicon Macs). System requirements and setup steps are in the user guide (Japanese).
A Grand Summoner's work is not to show power but to increase the number of people who open the gate.

Population share by rank (AI users)
Purple figures (L4 to L6) are this service's estimates, since no official statistics exist.
Why "Summoner"?
Someone who can program is a wizard who casts magic by combining spells of their own.
Someone who achieves the same with AI is a summoner: instead of writing the formulae, they call familiars and have them do the work.
This diagnosis was built from that definition. It expresses how well you wield AI as a summoner's rank.
Seven Ranks
The Seven Ranks
- L6 · GRAND SUMMONER Grand Summoner Master Summoner · Power to change the world share is estimated A grand summoner who passes the summoning arts to others and spreads them through the world.
- L5 · ARCHSUMMONER Archsummoner High Summoner · Commanding agents share is estimated A high summoner who commands many familiars at once and leads them as a host.
- L4 · BINDER Binder Binder of Pacts · Integration and automation share is estimated A binder who ties familiars to tools and rites so they keep working on their own.
- L3 · EVOKER Evoker Shaper of Works · Making deliverables An evoker who gives shape to documents and code together with familiars.
- L2 · SUMMONER Summoner Caller of Familiars · Daily use A summoner who calls familiars every day and entrusts them with work in words.
- L1 · APPRENTICE Apprentice Apprentice Summoner · Trying it out An apprentice who opens the gate now and then to put a question to a familiar.
- L0 · NOVICE Novice Unbound · Not yet using AI One who has not yet opened the summoning gate.
- PwC Global Workforce Hopes and Fears Survey 2026 (Shares for L0 to L3. 48 countries, about 50,000 respondents. 36% did not use AI in the past year, 19% once to a few times, over 20% daily. 10% use AI agents daily.)
- U.S. Census Bureau, March 2026 survey (For reference. About 55% of U.S. workers use AI at work.)
- The denominator for top-% and population shares is people who use AI (64% of workers, excluding the 36% who did not use AI in the past year). Statistics for all workers are rescaled by 64%.
- Figures for L4 to L6 are this service's estimates, since no official statistics exist. The PwC finding that 10% of workers use AI agents daily is used as an upper bound.
- The card art was produced with an image-generation AI (OpenAI), not drawn by hand. Text and frames are composited by this service.
