What this does
This post helps you realistically assess how exposed your current role and skills are to automation, then identify where to focus your time and energy to stay valuable as AI reshapes work. Instead of vague “learn to code” advice, this prompt shows you what to double down on, what to update, and what to stop worrying about.
Why it’s useful
AI anxiety is everywhere, especially for experienced professionals who don’t want to start over. The truth is that AI replaces tasks, not entire careers. This prompt uses AI to break down your job into components, evaluate automation risk, and highlight human-centered skills that grow more valuable as technology advances.

Prompt
You are my career resilience advisor. I want to understand how AI and automation may affect my role and which skills I should focus on to remain valuable over the next 3–5 years.
Start by asking me for the following details and wait for my answers before continuing:
[Current role], [industry], [primary responsibilities], [tools/software I currently use], [years of experience], [career stage: growth / peak / winding down], [interest in learning new tools: low/medium/high].
Next, break my role into its core tasks. For each task, assess:
– Likelihood of AI automation (low/medium/high)
– Whether AI will assist, partially replace, or fully replace the task
– The timeframe (near-term vs longer-term)
Then, identify the skills within my role that are least vulnerable to automation. Prioritize judgment, decision-making, relationship management, leadership, context-setting, creative problem-solving, and ethical oversight where applicable.
After that, recommend 5–7 “AI-resilient” skills I should strengthen. For each, explain why it’s valuable, how it shows up in real jobs, and one practical way to build or demonstrate it using AI as a support tool.
Next, flag any skills I may be over-investing in that are declining in value. Suggest how to reposition or modernize them rather than abandoning them.
End by summarizing my personal AI-proofing strategy in plain language, including what to focus on, what to maintain, and what to stop stressing about.
How this helps you
You move from generalized fear to a clear, personalized strategy. Instead of chasing every new tool, you’ll know exactly which skills protect your income and relevance—and how to use AI as leverage rather than competition.
