The 2026 State of Everyday AI & Vibe Coding at Work

Most AI research asks executives what they bought. This one asks the people actually doing the work what they can reach, what they are blocked by, and whether it is safe to admit they use it.

Anonymous by architecture, not by promise

No IP address. Ever.
Your IP is never written to disk or database. It is hashed in memory only, with a salt that rotates daily, purely to stop spam floods.
No cookies, no tracking
No cookies, no local storage, no sessions, no analytics, no pixels, no external fonts or scripts. Nothing follows you off this page.
No device fingerprint
We never record your browser, user agent, screen size or any device signal. Two identical answers are indistinguishable.
Auto-redacted comments
The optional comment box is scrubbed server-side: any email address or phone number is replaced with [REDACTED] before it is stored.

The database row we create contains your answers and a server-generated UTC timestamp. That is the entire record. There is no way for anyone, including us, to trace a response back to a person or a company.

What you will be asked

1. About your work — region, industry, company size, role and how you work.
2. AI capabilities — for seven tasks, whether you have never heard of it, cannot access it, could but do not, or use it regularly.
3. The reality check — only shown if something is blocking you.
4. Culture & safety — whether it is safe to say out loud that you use AI, plus an optional comment.

No sign-up, no email, no follow-up. Nothing is saved until you submit.
