Chapter The Shift

Work is being rewritten.

We are the independent, worker-side institute measuring how people adapt to AI, and helping everyone write their next chapter, free.

AI gets benchmarked every week. The people it affects almost never do. So we built an independent measure of human adaptability, give every worker their own reading for free, and turn what we learn into community, evidence and policy.

The gap nobody is measuring.

Exposure to AI is tracked closely. The capacity to adapt to it is not, and that is where people fall through.

Voices from the community

The HAPI score showed me exactly where to focus. Six months later, I had three certifications and a new title.

As a veteran, the Veterans Connect program helped me translate my service experience into terms civilian recruiters actually understood. I landed a role in 90 days.

Thank you for all you are doing for the community. The team helped us through our recruiting and connected us with talented candidates we wouldn't have found otherwise.
