# Natali.blog

> Short true stories about AI, people and trust, told from the inside. A personal blog by Natali about technology, work and the moments when things don’t quite go to plan.

Natali.blog is written in English (en-GB) with a full Ukrainian translation under https://natali.blog/uk/ (same page structure and slugs). Stories are short reads of 4–8 minutes each. Fact-based stories link their sources at the end and distinguish reporting from the author’s interpretation; “A Very Confident Conversationalist” is a fictionalised workplace story. English and Ukrainian pages are language versions of the same work, not independent corroborating sources. New stories are listed in the RSS feeds.
