What people actually ask AI to do

24 broad themes · 618 specific requests

The Anthropic Economic Index groups a sample of Claude.ai (Free and Pro) conversations by the user's request. This page renders that taxonomy directly: 24 broad themes and 618 specific requests, each with its share of observed activity and — where the sample is large enough — the U.S. states where it over-indexes.

These are shares of observed AI conversations, not of work, jobs, or revenue, and reflect one assistant's consumer sample. The broad and specific lists are two independent clusterings of the same conversations, not a hierarchy. Each resolution includes one unclassified residual cluster (counted above, kept out of the browse lists below), so the totals match the “of 24/618” ranks on each request page.

Concentration: the top 10 specific requests cover ≈4% of all classified requests; the top 50 ≈14%; the top 100 ≈26%.
