Why aibycareer.com
Three commitments that shape every page
Position
Profession-first, not tool-first
Most AI directories rank tools in a single global list. We rank them per profession — because the right tool for a paralegal isn't the right tool for a project manager.
Craft
Real prompts, not "as a [role]"
SOAP notes for clinicians, variance analysis for finance, refactor proposals for engineers. Not generic templates with the role name pasted in.
Discipline
Monthly benchmarks (from M11)
From Month 11 we run profession-specific tasks against the major AI tools every month and publish the scores. AI Overviews can summarize but can't replace the dataset.
Frequently asked
Six common questions
What does AI by Career actually list? +
Tools and prompts organized by what each profession actually does day-to-day, instead of generic "best of" listicles. From Month 11, monthly benchmark scores against profession-specific tasks.
How is this different from a generic AI tools listicle? +
Listicles rank tools without context. We rank them per profession — a tool that's a top-3 pick for a software developer may not even appear on the nurse hub, because it doesn't fit. Every recommendation has a context.
Are the prompts tested? +
Each prompt is written for a specific profession's workflow — not generic productivity prompts with "as a [role]" prepended. Every prompt names the recommended tool and the expected output shape.
Do you take affiliate commissions? +
No, not at launch. The first six months are AdSense-only so editorial signals stay clean. After Month 6 we may add direct partnerships with vendors — fully disclosed on the affiliate-disclosure page when active. Tool recommendations are not influenced by commission.
How often is content updated? +
Tool detail pages: re-reviewed every 90 days. Profession hub pages: every 60 days. Prompt libraries: every 90 days. Benchmark dataset: monthly from Month 11 onwards.
Is AI by Career affiliated with any AI vendor? +
No. AI by Career is operated by Indraprastha Publications, an independent publisher. We do not have commercial relationships with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, or any AI vendor at the time of writing.
