Frequently asked questions
What is LUMI Alignment?
LUMI Alignment is a free web service that diagnoses your AI usage style into one of 10 types based on your date of birth, and gives you a per-type playbook: how to use your strengths, the traps you tend to fall into, and a first step — in about 30 seconds.
How do I find the AI approach that fits me?
Enter your date of birth and current state (a mini check-in), and LUMI determines your type and lays out the AI playbook, strengths and traps for that type. No sign-up required.
Why does AI work better for some people than others?
The same AI gives different results because the difference is the person, not the tool. In a real-world field study, productivity gains from the same generative AI varied widely by person — averaging about 14%, but ranging from over 30% for some to near zero for others. Knowing how to use your strengths and which traps to avoid is what lets you get more out of the same AI.

Is it free?

Is my personal data safe if I enter my date of birth?

What AI usage types are there?
