About You & AI

No vendor relationships. No affiliate arrangements. No commercial interest in the answers we provide.
The Founder
Neil Addison’s background is in content strategy — the discipline of structuring how organisations communicate. Over the past decade, he has worked with firms across technology, finance, pharma, legal, and professional services, including several AI-focused ventures where the gap between what the technology could do and what organisations were prepared for was already visible.
The common thread across that work was capturing what makes a particular voice or method distinctive, systematising what otherwise depends on individual memory, and building frameworks that let people produce consistent work without losing the judgment behind it. That turns out to be unexpectedly relevant to AI — and to what’s missing from the guidance currently on offer.
He has been thinking about AI’s implications for work and identity since before the current wave. A 2016 essay on what happens to civic morale when we frame artificial intelligence as competition rather than context anticipated many of the questions this venture now addresses. Collaboration with the Machine Intelligence Research Institute on a semantic reasoning project, alongside sustained work with AI ventures, gave a practical vantage point on what changes and what doesn’t when capabilities leap forward.
You & AI exists because the help available to working adults navigating that leap is not good enough. Not because Neil has all the answers — the situation is too uncertain for that — but because he has done the homework, and the people who need the results shouldn’t have to do it themselves.
You & AI has no vendor relationships, no affiliate arrangements, and no commercial interest in recommending any product or platform. The independence is the point.
What You & AI Believes
The technology is real. AI capabilities are advancing rapidly and will reshape professional work. Dismissing this is irresponsible.
The timeline is uncertain. Predictions range from 18 months to a decade. Anyone claiming precision is selling something. Honest guidance acknowledges the uncertainty.
The human comes first. Not as a slogan but as a structural commitment. Every piece of work starts with the person's situation, not the technology's capabilities.
Honesty is the product. In a market flooded with hype, doom, and vendor marketing, the scarcest commodity is a straight answer. That's what You & AI provides.
Dignity is non-negotiable. The people affected by AI disruption are not cargo to be reskilled, resources to be redeployed, or consumers to be sold a certification. They are adults facing genuine uncertainty who deserve to be addressed as such.
Help means help. Not awareness. Not inspiration. Not exposure to concepts. Practical, strategic guidance that the reader can act on.
