Internet directory services software

Technology category · O*NET

Internet directory services software is a technology category in the O*NET database. Across U.S. occupations, 15 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.

Occupations that use Internet directory services 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 15 occupations in occupations that use Internet directory services software. Overlap measures shared tasks with AI, not automation.

How AI is used by roles that use Internet directory services software

A software category is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the roles that report using Internet directory services 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. 13.3% of the 15 roles that use this category carry observed AI-usage data (2 roles).

Across those roles, 39.3% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 55.7% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 4.00 / 5.

Collaboration pattern Share What it means
feedback loop 28.0% AI does it, then adjusts from your feedback
directive 27.6% AI does it; you give the instruction
learning 24.3% you ask AI to explain or teach
task iteration 13.2% you and AI go back and forth
validation 1.8% 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
Sales Engineers 54.1% 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 Internet directory services 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 Internet directory services software matters most across the economy. Employment reach is the share of an industry's workers in occupations that significantly use Internet directory services 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 3.4% of workers are in occupations that significantly use Internet directory services software (measured across 65 industries).

Sectors with the most such workers

Sector Workers Employment reach
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services 1,644,420 15.3%
Information 622,410 21.4%
Finance and Insurance 446,860 7.2%
Management of Companies and Enterprises 361,500 12.9%
Manufacturing 340,930 2.7%
Educational Services 305,460 2.2%
Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services 280,690 3.1%
Wholesale Trade 246,110 4.1%
Health Care and Social Assistance 197,370 0.9%
Other Services (except Public Administration) 88,600 2.0%
Retail Trade 82,870 0.5%
Transportation and Warehousing 67,270 0.9%

Industries where it is most concentrated

Industry Level Concentration Employment reach
Information Sector 6.29× 21.4%
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Sector 4.5× 15.3%
Management of Companies and Enterprises Sector 3.79× 12.9%
Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers National industry 3.32× 11.3%
Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities National industry 2.59× 8.8%
Engineering Services National industry 2.53× 8.6%
Finance and Insurance Sector 2.12× 7.2%
Temporary Help Services National industry 1.41× 4.8%
Utilities Sector 1.29× 4.4%
Wholesale Trade Sector 1.21× 4.1%
Testing Laboratories and Services National industry 1.15× 3.9%
Insurance Agencies and Brokerages National industry 1.03× 3.5%

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.
