How AI is actually being used at work.
These free tools read Anthropic's Economic Index, the largest public dataset on how AI is really used across occupations, and turn it into a plain-language read for your job, your business, and your workflows. Grounded in real usage, not hype.
One finding sets the tone for the rest. On Claude.ai, roughly 52 percent of AI use is augmentation, meaning the AI works with a person, and about 45 percent is automation, meaning it does a task on its own. For most everyday use, AI assists more than it replaces.
Assist first, automate second.
On Claude.ai, most AI use works alongside a person rather than replacing the task outright. Here is the split.
Pick where you want to start.
Is my job exposed to AI?
Choose an occupation and see how heavily AI is used in that work today, and whether it leans toward assisting a person or doing the task alone.
AI impact on my business
Enter your headcount and rough role mix to get a directional read on how much of your work AI could assist or handle, and where to look first.
Augment or automate?
Check off the tasks your team does and see which ones AI works alongside, which it can largely handle, and which stay mostly human today.
What the data does and does not say.
The Anthropic Economic Index measures how people use AI. That is a different thing from how many jobs will change or disappear. A few points keep the numbers honest.
Usage, not job loss
These figures show how AI is being used, not a forecast of who loses work. As of the March 2026 analysis there is no systematic rise in unemployment for exposed workers, only a tentative signal of slower hiring for workers aged 22 to 25 in the most-exposed jobs.
Correlation, not causation
Where use is high and hiring is soft, the two are linked in the data. That link does not prove one caused the other. Many forces move a labor market at once.
Coverage is not whole-job automation
A job can have AI touching a large share of its tasks and still be far from automated. AI often struggles on the most time-consuming or judgment-heavy parts of the work.
Assistance leads today
On Claude.ai augmentation still edges out automation. Through the API, where developers build AI into products, the mix flips toward roughly 75 percent automation. The setting matters.
Where these numbers come from.
Every figure in these tools traces back to Anthropic's Economic Index, a public research program and open dataset on how AI is used across the economy. Some values are published directly. A few are directional estimates reasoned from the reports, and we label those in the tools themselves.

Questions about these tools.
What are the AI Impact tools?
Three free tools grounded in Anthropic's Economic Index: a job-exposure read, a business-impact estimator, and an augment-or-automate task classifier. They show how AI is likely to affect a specific job, a team, and a business.
Where does the data come from?
Anthropic's Economic Index, drawn from millions of anonymized Claude conversations, is the largest public dataset on how AI is actually used across occupations. Atlas Instinct is an independent firm and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic.
Does AI exposure mean job loss?
No. The data measures where AI is used, not where jobs disappear. On Claude.ai, augmentation, where AI assists a person, leads automation, and task coverage is not the same as whole-job replacement. These tools label their estimates as directional.
How accurate are the estimates?
They are directional, built from occupation-level patterns, not a prediction about any one person or company. Use them to frame a conversation, not to make a hiring or staffing decision on their own.
