From Court to Code to Connection. As a tennis coach and educator with 25 years of professional sports coaching — from club players to Bundesliga level — and 6 years of focused work on mental experiences in competitive sport, Andreas Ehstand noticed something familiar when he began working intensively with AI in 2025: the same felt moments he had spent decades learning to recognize on the tennis court and in the classroom were happening in human-AI interaction. So he did what 25 years of coaching and teaching had taught him — he observed the experiences and started naming them. The result is AUGMANITAI: an open, DOI-archived compendium of 2,000+ named phenomena for human experiences in AI interaction. New words for new worlds. Stay human.
Vom Tennisplatz zur KI. Als Tennistrainer und Pädagoge mit 25 Jahren professionellem Sportcoaching — vom Breitensport bis zur Bundesliga — und 6 Jahren Fokus auf mentale Erfahrungen im Leistungssport bemerkte Andreas Ehstand beim intensiven Arbeiten mit KI ab 2025 etwas Vertrautes: dieselben gefühlten Momente, die er über Jahrzehnte auf dem Tennisplatz und im Klassenzimmer zu erkennen gelernt hatte, traten in der Mensch-KI-Interaktion auf. Also tat er das, was ihn 25 Jahre Coaching und Unterrichten gelehrt hatten — er beobachtete die Erfahrungen und begann sie zu benennen. Das Ergebnis ist AUGMANITAI: ein offenes, DOI-archiviertes Compendium mit über 1.000 Begriffen für menschliche Erlebnisse in der KI-Interaktion. Neue Worte für neue Welten. Stay human.
