AI is about to change your job
Long before I started Textio, I was working in AI and NLP. These days, I'm looking at how agentic AI is changing workplaces: what it means for management, team size, operating structures, and business performance. In 2025, I am expanding this research. I'd love for you to follow along and participate.
AI and the workplace: What I'm interested in
Last year, I spent time with hundreds of startups building AI solutions that will change the workplace. I looked at which jobs are getting pitched for replacement, how team sizes are changing, which roles are the most altered, what it means for in-person and remote work, and who is being included and left behind.
This year, I'm extending this research, expanding my data set and the variables that I consider. I am collecting data about key decisions that organizations are making and how those decisions eventually correspond to business performance. In particular, I'm looking at the choices organizations make about agentic AI, in-person vs. remote work, meeting structures and other operating norms, and management and headcount structures. Ultimately I want to report on the patterns in this data and learn which choices drive the most successful outcomes.
You can participate in this research for free!
Participation in my research is both anonymous and free. I err on the side of being fast and incremental rather than monolithic and comprehensive. I turn my research into weekly data stories that summarize my learning as I go. You can follow along with this research and my other weekly case studies in AI, management, and workplace communication.
