Keep the human in the loop

Look up any occupation and see the activities it is actually made of. Each one is scored on how much of its output software can produce today, and linked to the tools that address it.

Three ways in, one map

Most directories are indexed by vendor, so they can tell you what a product claims and never what it does about your Tuesday. This one is indexed by work, which means every road leads to the same place: a specific activity, and the specific things that can take it on.

01From your job

A title resolves to an occupation, and the occupation to the activities the Department of Labor says it is made of. No vibes, no quiz.

02From the task

Every activity has its own page: what it is, how much of it software can produce, which jobs perform it, and which layer of the market addresses it.

The landscape is ordered by distance from the human, from things you talk to straight through to the models underneath. Ours is listed last and labelled.

What a report looks like

The job as its tasks on the left, the same job as a set of agents on the right. Every task row is a link into the task layer, and one agent will run a read-only sample right here before you have signed up for anything.

Or start from the task

A job is not one thing that survives or does not. Its activities are being affected at wildly different rates, so they are grouped by the kind of work they ask of you, following O*NET’s own rollup rather than any keyword of ours.

The human part is the job

Every report ends with a column of work that stays yours: the deciding, the being present, the carrying of a consequence. It is not a consolation prize. It is the part that was always the job, finally separated from the typing around it.

Then do the work

Knowing a task can be automated is not the same as having automated it. Each workflow is a named job of work with numbered steps and prompts you can paste, plus the places it can be scheduled or looped once it runs.

Method. Occupations, their activities and the tools they use come from the public-domain O*NET 30.3 database, published by the US Department of Labor. The automatability bands and the tool landscape are our own judgment, stated as bands rather than invented percentages, and they are not endorsed by anyone.
