An iPhone app by B43
Manager-level AI fluency, built in minutes a day
What the research says
“Frequent AI use is also more common among leaders (defined as managers of managers), at 33%. They are twice as likely as individual contributors (16%) to say they use AI a few times a week or more.”
“88% of employees use AI at work but primarily limited to basic tasks such as search and summarization”
Managing AI-assisted work you do not fully understand
Your team already hands you AI-assisted drafts, summaries, and analyses. Workplace research finds AI use reaches right up through leadership, yet much of that use stays shallow — search and summarization — while the judgment calls about AI-assisted work keep landing on managers. Reviewing output you could not produce yourself means managing on instinct.
How Unscary builds manager fluency
Unscary trains by doing: short lessons in plain language followed by hands-on reps, so you learn what AI handles well, where it fails, and how to direct it. It is the same practical skill set B43 teaches company teams in person, sized for a manager's calendar instead of a training day.
How it works in the app
Open the app in a gap between meetings, complete a short lesson, do the rep. Points and streaks keep the routine honest, and your personal progress report shows fluency building week over week — real capability you can bring to the next AI decision, not just exposure.
Fluency that fits between meetings starts here.
