Toby
Toby is a web-based SaaS tool that provides a free AI automation risk score for any job title or description. Users type in their job and within 60 seconds receive an assessment of how susceptible their role is to automation by artificial intelligence. The tool is designed to help individuals understand which aspects of their job are safe and which are at risk, empowering them to take proactive steps for career resilience. The risk score is calculated using a proprietary methodology based on six task-level factors: repetitiveness (consistency of output), input structure (predictability of inputs), judgment threshold (need for novel reasoning), relationships (importance of human trust), regulatory sign-off (legal requirement for human decision), and data availability (digital readiness of information). Each factor is rated on a scale from protected to at risk, contributing to an overall score out of 100. Beyond the free risk assessment, Toby offers paid services including a tailored resume rewrite for specific job postings (USD 39 per month), guided steps for transitioning to independent work, and a monthly update on upskilling opportunities in regulated industries. For enterprises, a sister company provides full workforce analysis with role-by-role breakdowns, automation timelines, and reskilling roadmaps. Toby pulls from O*NET occupational data and claims to cover over 893 occupations. As a beta product, it emphasizes practical, individualized insights over general predictions, aiming to measure what is truly at risk rather than relying on broad industry trends.
