Step 1 · Your context

First, a little about your work.

No names, no companies. Just enough so a reader in your field can recognize themselves in your story.

What's your role?*

Pick the closest match. If your role isn't listed, choose "Other" and write it in.

Industry*

Years in this work*

Region (optional)

A general area is helpful — readers like to know if patterns differ geographically. Country or region only, never a city or workplace.

Step 2 · What changed

What kind of change are you describing?

Pick the closest match. You can write nuance into the story itself — this just helps readers find experiences like yours.

Type of change*

Workflow shiftedSame role, but the day-to-day work changed Role redefinedJob title or responsibilities changed materially Laid offPosition eliminated, partially or fully due to AI Hired into AI workNew job specifically because of AI adoption PromotedMoved up, partially related to AI fluency Career switchedLeft the field for something new

Which AI tools are involved? (optional)

Tap any that apply. This helps readers see which tools are actually showing up in real workflows.

When did this change start?

Step 3 · Your story

Now, in your own words.

Three short prompts. Aim for a paragraph each — three sentences is plenty if that's what's true. Be specific about what you actually do; readers learn from details, not generalities.

What not to include

Don't name your company, manager, or coworkers. Don't share confidential details that could identify your workplace. We'll flag and remove specifics during review — but you'll save us both time by leaving them out.

What did you used to do?*

A snapshot of your old workflow. What did a typical week look like before this change?

What do you do now?*

The new shape of the work. What's different in your day? What does the AI do, and what do you do?

0 / 2000

Advice for someone considering your field?*

This is the part future readers will value most. What would you tell a student, a career switcher, or a younger version of yourself?

How do you feel about it? (optional)

A line or two of personal reflection. Frustration, relief, ambivalence — all welcome.

Step 4 · Privacy & publish

Last thing: how should we credit you?

Give your story a title, choose how you'd like to appear, and publish. It goes live on the archive immediately.

Title*

Short and specific works best — a line from your story, or a plain description of what changed. Quotes are welcome.
