Start here

I write about what happens when artificial intelligence meets real work. Not what AI will be able to do in five years, and not what was announced on a stage. What seems useful in real work, what fails in practice, and what I am still unsure about.

My name is Martynas Kairys. I run a technology company in Lithuania, I speak at conferences about AI at work, and I like building small personal tools to understand AI better. I am not an engineer, so I write from the side most people are standing on: someone with a job and a limited amount of time.

Why I write: there is a lot of talk about AI and very little shown. Numbers with no denominator, demos with no failures, advice with no date. I try to do the opposite here. Every experiment carries a date, a model, how long it took, and the part that did not work.

Five posts first

  1. What changed in AI over summer 2026. A short catch-up if you looked away for a few months.
  2. What you must never paste into ChatGPT. Three questions instead of a fourteen-page policy.
  3. Which tool for what. A table by type of work, not by vendor marketing.
  4. Readers voted an AI text the most human. An experiment whose result surprised me, but not where I expected.
  5. AI as an x-ray. The framework I reach for most: AI breaks nothing, it just shows where the work was never there.

How to read the site

The whole site fits behind three doors.

  • Lab. What I built: small tools you can open and try.
  • Notes. Everything I have written here, newest first. Topics:
    • Experiments. What I tried with AI at work and what came of it. Dated, including the parts that failed.
    • By role. AI for one specific job: accountant, HR, manager, teacher. What to hand over and what to keep.
    • AI literacy. The basics nobody spells out at work, in plain words.
    • Frameworks. The named frameworks from my talks, one page each.
    • In pictures. Short comics about AI at work. One story, one lesson, no long text.
    • Past talks. Where I spoke and about what.
  • About. Who writes here, where I spoke, and how this site is made.

There is also How I use AI here and Corrections. New posts come through RSS or by email: the form sits at the foot of every post.

I write here in my own name only. These are personal notes, not my employer's position and not advice to any specific company. This site is not a consulting practice, agency, training business, or product company.
