Graphical user interface development software
Technology category · O*NET
Graphical user interface development software is a technology category in the O*NET database. Across U.S. occupations, 34 report using software or tools in this category. The named products below are the specific examples O*NET records for those jobs. The occupations that use it sit, on average, at the 88th percentile of AI task-exposure ( high) — how much that work overlaps with what AI can do, not a sign the tool is being replaced. See where every tool category sits.
A Hot tag marks technologies O*NET sees frequently in employer job postings; In demand marks tools an occupation specifically requires.
Example software & tools
Ranked by how many occupations list each product. Each number is an occupation count — a job is counted once per product — so the product rows overlap and do not sum to the category total.

How AI is used by roles that use Graphical user interface development software
A software category is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the roles that report using Graphical user interface development software and ask how those people actually use AI. This rolls the Anthropic Economic Index per-role signal up across those roles, weighted by how much observed AI activity each one has. 38.2% of the 34 roles that use this category carry observed AI-usage data (13 roles).
Across those roles, 53.4% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 43.2% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 3.97 / 5.
| Collaboration pattern | Share | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| task iteration | 44.0% | you and AI go back and forth |
| directive | 40.9% | AI does it; you give the instruction |
| learning | 6.2% | you ask AI to explain or teach |
| validation | 3.1% | you do it; AI checks your work |
| feedback loop | 2.4% | AI does it, then adjusts from your feedback |
Roles behind this signal
The roles using this category that have the most AEI data. "Works with AI" is the role's share of conversations that augment rather than automate.
| Occupation | Works with AI | Autonomy |
|---|---|---|
| Technical Writers | 54.2% | 4.0/5 |
| Instructional Coordinators | 53.1% | 4.0/5 |
| Multimedia Artists and Animators | 52.1% | 4.0/5 |
| Career/Technical Education Teachers, Middle School | 47.5% | 4.0/5 |
| Robotics Engineers | 42.0% | 4.0/5 |
| Choreographers | 54.5% | 4.0/5 |
| Graphic Designers | 48.5% | 4.0/5 |
| Computer and Information Systems Managers | 67.7% | 4.0/5 |
| Art Directors | 54.1% | 3.0/5 |
| Management Analysts | 62.4% | 4.0/5 |
| Marketing Managers | 63.3% | 4.0/5 |
| Human Factors Engineers and Ergonomists | 57.2% | 4.0/5 |
Source: Anthropic Economic Index (2026-01-15-v4-plus-2025-03-27-v2) over a sample of Claude.ai Free and Pro conversations — not all AI tools and not the whole workforce. Roles list software categories in O*NET; this does not mean AI is used inside Graphical user interface development software, only that people in those roles use AI. Some conversations are left unclassified, so shares need not sum to 100.
Industries that concentrate this
Where Graphical user interface development software matters most across the economy. Employment reach is the share of an industry's workers in occupations that significantly use Graphical user interface development software (O*NET importance ≥ 3 of 5, or report using the tool category). Concentration compares that reach to the national average industry, so a value above 1× means the requirement is more pervasive here than across the economy as a whole.
Nationally, about 4.9% of workers are in occupations that significantly use Graphical user interface development software (measured across 64 industries).
Sectors with the most such workers
| Sector | Workers | Employment reach |
|---|---|---|
| Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services | 2,509,090 | 23.3% |
| Information | 854,970 | 29.4% |
| Manufacturing | 723,930 | 5.7% |
| Finance and Insurance | 647,610 | 10.4% |
| Management of Companies and Enterprises | 518,090 | 18.4% |
| Educational Services | 484,550 | 3.6% |
| Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services | 337,660 | 3.7% |
| Wholesale Trade | 315,620 | 5.2% |
| Health Care and Social Assistance | 207,050 | 0.9% |
| Transportation and Warehousing | 80,470 | 1.1% |
| Retail Trade | 79,500 | 0.5% |

| Information | Sector | 6× | 29.4% |
| Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services | Sector | 4.76× | 23.3% |
| Management of Companies and Enterprises | Sector | 3.76× | 18.4% |

| Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities | National industry | 2.47× | 12.1% |
| Newspaper Publishers | National industry | 2.2× | 10.8% |
| Finance and Insurance | Sector | 2.12× | 10.4% |
| Testing Laboratories and Services | National industry | 2.02× | 9.9% |
| Utilities | Sector | 1.9× | 9.3% |

| Temporary Help Services | National industry | 1.12× | 5.5% |
Reach is a measure of how widespread a requirement is across an industry's workforce, not how intensively any individual uses it. Sector worker counts come from BLS OEWS employment; the significance threshold and tool use come from O*NET. Industries shown by concentration are filtered to a real worker base so a tiny specialty cannot top the list on rounding.
