Every task, every job
19,265 occupation-specific work tasks
A job is a bundle of tasks. Singulariki renders every one of O*NET's 19,265 occupation-specific work tasks as its own page, cross-linked to the occupation that performs it and to the broader work activities it rolls up to. Each task carries how central it is to the job, the OpenAI/Eloundou AI-exposure rating, and — where measured — how AI is actually used on that kind of work in the Anthropic Economic Index.
Exposure and observed-use figures describe overlap with AI capability and how people choose to use AI as a tool today. They are not predictions that a task will be automated.
