Career disruption should be met with clarity, not fear.
Automation is changing how work gets done. Some roles will shift. Others will disappear entirely. But the real problem isn't the technology — it's the lack of clear, honest information about what to do next.
We built WhatToDoIfAITakesYourJob.com to fill that gap. Our tool analyzes your specific role against labor market data, automation research, and task-level exposure models to give you a realistic picture of your situation — and a concrete plan to move forward.
We are not career coaches selling hope. We are not futurists making guesses. We are a small team that believes everyone deserves access to the information they need to make smart decisions about their working life.
The career advice industry is broken. Most of it is generic, expensive, or both. A single session with a career coach can cost hundreds of dollars and still leave you with nothing actionable. We think you deserve better than that — a data-driven starting point that respects your time, your money, and your intelligence.
What we stand for
Data over fear
Every recommendation is grounded in labor market research and occupational data. We don't do clickbait headlines or alarmist predictions.
Practical action
If you can't start doing it this week, it doesn't belong in your plan. We prioritize concrete steps over vague advice.
Accessible guidance
Career transition support shouldn't cost thousands. We built this tool so anyone can get a clear, affordable starting point.
The team
We are a small group of career researchers, data scientists, and software engineers. We are not publicly profiling the team yet — but we are here, building in the open. More details coming soon.
Built on research, not guesswork.
Our risk assessments and career recommendations are grounded in peer-reviewed research, government labor data, and established workforce analysis frameworks. We don't invent our own metrics — we synthesize the best available data from multiple authoritative sources and apply it to your specific situation.
The core of our approach is task-level analysis. Instead of treating a job title as a monolith, we break each role down into its individual tasks — the specific activities you perform day to day. Each task is then evaluated for its technical exposure to automation based on current and near-term AI capabilities. This produces a far more nuanced and accurate picture than a single headline number.
Your overall risk score is a weighted composite. Tasks that occupy more of your working time carry more weight. Tasks that require complex judgment, creative problem-solving, or interpersonal interaction are scored differently from routine data processing or pattern matching. The result is a risk profile that reflects what you actually do, not just your job title.
