Helpdesk or call center software

Technology category · O*NET

Helpdesk or call center software is a technology category in the O*NET database. Across U.S. occupations, 19 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 79th 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.

Occupations that use Helpdesk or call center software

Exposure quadrant: AI task-overlap percentile vs Median pay AI task-overlap (horizontal) versus median pay (vertical), each as a percentile across all scored occupations, for 19 occupations in occupations that use Helpdesk or call center software. Overlap measures shared tasks with AI, not automation. Lower overlap · higher pay Higher overlap · higher pay Higher overlap · lower pay Lower overlap · lower pay Ambulance Drivers and Attendants, Except Emergency Medical Technicians Ship Engineers First-Line Supervisors of Firefighting and Prevention Workers Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers First-Line Supervisors of Housekeeping and Janitorial Workers Computer and Information Systems Managers Computer User Support Specialists Telecommunications Engineering Specialists Network and Computer Systems Administrators Public Safety Telecommunicators Dispatchers, Except Police, Fire, and Ambulance Computer Systems Analysts Telephone Operators Customer Service Representatives Telemarketers AI task-overlap percentile → ↑ Median pay

How AI is used by roles that use Helpdesk or call center software

A software category is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the roles that report using Helpdesk or call center 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. 47.4% of the 19 roles that use this category carry observed AI-usage data (9 roles).

Across those roles, 43.6% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 47.5% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 3.84 / 5.

Collaboration pattern Share What it means
directive 28.0% AI does it; you give the instruction
learning 25.1% you ask AI to explain or teach
feedback loop 19.5% AI does it, then adjusts from your feedback
task iteration 16.9% you and AI go back and forth
validation 1.6% you do it; AI checks your work

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
Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repairers 33.4% 4.0/5
Computer and Information Systems Managers 67.7% 4.0/5
First-Line Supervisors of Housekeeping and Janitorial Workers 48.5% 4.0/5
Customer Service Representatives 35.5% 3.0/5
Telemarketers 57.4% 4.0/5
Police, Fire, and Ambulance Dispatchers 31.9% 3.0/5

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 Helpdesk or call center 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 Helpdesk or call center software matters most across the economy. Employment reach is the share of an industry's workers in occupations that significantly use Helpdesk or call center 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 3.9% of workers are in occupations that significantly use Helpdesk or call center software (measured across 65 industries).

Sectors with the most such workers

Sector Workers Employment reach
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services 988,090 9.2%
Finance and Insurance 725,620 11.7%
Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services 689,580 7.6%
Retail Trade 532,470 3.4%
Information 387,640 13.3%
Management of Companies and Enterprises 340,370 12.1%
Health Care and Social Assistance 330,870 1.4%
Wholesale Trade 322,610 5.3%
Educational Services 278,910 2.0%
Manufacturing 271,470 2.1%
Transportation and Warehousing 233,790 3.2%
Other Services (except Public Administration) 113,440 2.6%

Industries where it is most concentrated

Industry Level Concentration Employment reach
Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers National industry 5.64× 22.0%
Insurance Agencies and Brokerages National industry 3.77× 14.7%
Information Sector 3.41× 13.3%
Management of Companies and Enterprises Sector 3.1× 12.1%
Finance and Insurance Sector 11.7%
Ambulance Services National industry 2.44× 9.5%
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Sector 2.36× 9.2%
Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services Sector 1.95× 7.6%
Exterminating and Pest Control Services National industry 1.92× 7.5%
Utilities Sector 1.87× 7.3%
Wholesale Trade Sector 1.36× 5.3%
Temporary Help Services National industry 1.26× 4.9%

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.
