Rob Browton · Occupational psychologist
I’m an occupational psychologist with twenty years in enterprise employee listening, organisational development, and leadership facilitation. My focus now is the shift to AI-supported work — turning something abstract and fast-moving into something professionals and teams can reason about, plan for, and act on.
The work here spans three layers: products for professionals adjusting to AI, long-form interactive explorations of the forces shaping work and life, and real-time data experiments built for curiosity.
Tools and guides for professionals navigating AI-supported work.
A professional's guide to running autonomous AI agents.
A book-length guide plus a learning platform — academy, guided first-project, 90-day command centre, action planner, and a readiness assessment. For knowledge workers who want to build, not just read about it.
Upload your LinkedIn export, get a scrollable dossier of your career.
A browser-based intelligence platform that turns your LinkedIn, Facebook, or X export into a 5-chapter dossier — hexagon score, industry wheel, Mercator career map, seasonal heatmaps. Runs entirely client-side; your data never leaves the browser.
