Assist with academic research, writing, and coursework across scientific and scholarly disciplines
Broad theme · what people ask AI
“Assist with academic research, writing, and coursework across scientific and scholarly disciplines” is a broad theme of what people ask AI to do, as measured by the Anthropic Economic Index over a sample of Claude.ai (Free and Pro) conversations. It accounts for about 7.72% of all broad request themes, ranking #3 of 24.
These are shares of observed AI conversations in one assistant's consumer sample — not of work hours, jobs, or revenue, and not all AI tools. "Broad theme" is one of two independent clusterings Anthropic publishes (24 broad themes and 618 specific requests); the two are separate groupings of the same conversations, not a parent/child hierarchy.
Where this request over-indexes
U.S. states where this request makes up a larger share of local Claude.ai activity than it does nationally. The figure is the ratio of the state's share to the national share; only states with enough sampled conversations are shown, so small states do not produce spurious spikes.
| State | Over/under vs. national | Conversations |
|---|---|---|
| Hawaii | 1.62× | 90 |
| Nebraska | 1.59× | 91 |
| District of Columbia | 1.53× | 237 |
| Massachusetts | 1.47× | 857 |
| Mississippi | 1.44× | 62 |
| Delaware | 1.43× | 51 |
How to read this
- Source: the Anthropic Economic Index (2026-01-15-v4-plus-2025-03-27-v2), which clusters a sample of Claude.ai Free and Pro conversations by the user's request.
- Shares are of observed requests, not of jobs, work time, or the whole AI market.
- Geographic ratios compare a state's local request mix to the national mix; states below the sample floor are omitted rather than shown as noisy outliers.
- The broad and specific resolutions are independent clusterings — a specific request is not assigned to a broad theme in the source data.
