10 questions about what you actually do all day. Our engine maps your tasks — not your job title — against what AI can already do.
2 minutes · freeA week-by-week action plan for your role and your schedule: what to learn, which tools to try, and what to ignore.
Personalised to your answersThe AI Gym: bitesize daily lessons with streaks and badges. Learn to use AI at work before it gets used instead of you.
Duolingo-style habitThe AI Hub is your bookmark for all of it: the right tool for any task, jargon translated into English, the best free UK training, and a weekly “what actually matters” briefing.
Safe Side of AI grew out of free community AI classes in Ealing, Fulham and Hammersmith. We teach real people — carers, cabbies, bookkeepers, teaching assistants — face to face, every week.
“I’m a bookkeeper — I thought I was finished. The score showed which half of my work is exposed, and the plan got me using AI for the boring bits. I now do the work of my old team of three, and I put my prices up.”

The score, your 30-day plan, the AI Gym and the whole hub are free. Safe Side of AI grew out of free community classes run by AiAutomateUK in West London — keeping it free for the people who need it most is the whole point. If we ever add paid extras, the core stays free.
No. If you can send an email, you can do everything here. Plain English is a house rule — if your nan wouldn’t get it, we rewrite it.
Your Safety Score is calculated in your own browser — your quiz answers never leave your device. The only thing we store is your email address, and only if you choose to subscribe to the briefing. Unsubscribe any time with one click.
Absolutely. The score, Gym, tool library and briefing work anywhere in the UK. In-person sessions run in Ealing, Fulham and Hammersmith — and we run online meetups so nobody misses out.
Honest answer: AI takes tasks before it takes jobs. Most roles will change rather than vanish — and people who learn to use AI early tend to become more valuable, not less. The Safety Score shows which of your tasks are exposed, and your plan gets you ahead of the change instead of underneath it.
Free forever for the people who need it most. That’s the whole point.
Get my AI Safety Score →Bookmark this page. Whatever AI throws at Britain this week, this is where it gets translated into “here’s what it means for you, and here’s what to do”.
Start with the task, not the tech. Every tool here has a free version and a plain-English job description.
Emails, letters, CVs, reports — drafted in seconds, then you make them yours.
Upload a long PDF or report, then ask it questions like you would a colleague who’d read it.
Describe what you want in English — “add up sales by month” — and get the formula or the analysis.
Speak a rambling voice note; get back tidy minutes, a quote, or a job write-up. Perfect for trades.
Design like you’ve got a designer: templates plus AI for images and copy, no skills needed.
Connect your apps so invoices file themselves and enquiries get an instant reply.
Slow down, check the source, reverse-search the image, and never act on urgency alone.
Turn one AI skill into a small service: CV polishing, social posts for local shops, tidy bookkeeping.
Every buzzword you’ll hear this year, translated. Tap to open.
Software that can do things that used to need a human brain — reading, writing, spotting patterns, making decisions. Think of it as: a very fast, very confident new colleague who never gets tired but sometimes gets things wrong.
An AI you talk to by typing (or speaking) — ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are the big ones. Think of it as: a keen intern. It does what you ask, as well as your instructions allow.
The instruction you give an AI. Better prompt, better result. Think of it as: a briefing. “Write an email” gets rubbish; “write a 3-line apology to a customer, warm tone, offer 10% off” gets gold.
The engine inside a chatbot — a system trained on huge amounts of text so it can predict what words come next. Think of it as: the engine under the bonnet. You don’t need to understand it to drive.
When AI confidently makes something up — a fake statistic, a court case that doesn’t exist. Think of it as: the intern bluffing in a meeting. That’s why the house rule is: AI drafts, you check.
AI that creates new things — text, images, music, video — rather than just sorting or finding existing ones. Think of it as: the difference between a filing clerk and a copywriter.
AI that doesn’t just answer — it takes actions: books things, fills systems in, completes multi-step jobs. Think of it as: the intern being allowed to use the office computer, not just answer questions. Big in 2026 — worth watching.
Making a task run by itself, on a trigger — “when an enquiry arrives, send the price list”. Often no AI needed at all. Think of it as: a row of dominoes you set up once.
AI-made fake video, photo or voice that looks and sounds real — increasingly used in scams. Think of it as: photoshop for everything, including your boss’s voice. Verify unusual requests by another channel, always.
How AI gets good: it learns patterns from examples instead of following hand-written rules. Think of it as: learning to cook by tasting a thousand dishes rather than reading one recipe.
Britain has excellent free AI training — the problem is nobody tells you the order. Here’s ours: start at the top.
The official free programme aiming to train 10 million UK workers by 2030. Start with the 20-minute intro — it comes with a badge for your CV.
Our 5-minute daily reps turn what you learn into a habit. Courses teach; reps stick.
Solid free short courses on digital and AI fundamentals, with certificates.
Free self-paced modules — especially useful if your workplace runs on Office and Copilot.
Government-curated free courses in digital and numeracy skills — a good foundation layer.
Not sure which order fits your job? Your Safety Score plan sequences these for you.
What it means for you: tools that don’t just answer questions but complete tasks — filing, booking, updating systems — are arriving in ordinary workplaces. The person who knows how to supervise them becomes more valuable, not less.
Try this: in the Jargon Buster, read “AI Agent” (30 seconds), so the word doesn’t rattle you in your next team meeting.
What it means for you: if your job keeps you on your feet — trades, care, retail — you can do your paperwork by talking. Ramble into your phone; AI turns it into a quote, minutes or a handover note.
Try this: today’s Gym rep takes you through it in 5 minutes.
What it means for you: the loudest advice online is “learn Python”. For most UK workers the higher-value skill is much simpler: describing what you want clearly (prompting) and checking AI’s work. Ignore the panic-buying of coding courses.

AI chatbots aren’t search engines — they’re interns. A search engine finds things; an intern does things, but only as well as your instructions. The trick isn’t being technical. It’s being specific.
