Collaboration patterns

The six interaction patterns Anthropic classifies

Directive · Automation27.1%

The person hands over the whole task with minimal back-and-forth.

Feedback loop · Automation46.9%

AI completes the task, guided by feedback such as error messages relayed by the person.

Task iteration · Augmentation13.2%

The person and AI refine the work together over several turns.

Learning · Augmentation8.1%

The person uses AI to understand a topic or build a skill.

Validation · Augmentation1.9%

The person asks AI to check or improve work they did.

No clear pattern · Unclassified2.7%

Conversations that fit none of the patterns above.

For comparison, 54% of this occupation's tasks are theoretically exposed to LLMs (high exposure, β, Eloundou et al., Science 2024).

Core tasks

Sources & methodology

Every figure on this page comes from the public datasets below. We do not edit the source values; derived figures are explained here.

  1. Collaboration shares come from Anthropic Economic Index data for Claude.ai conversations in May 2026, classified to the O*NET tasks they match. "Automation" groups directive and feedback-loop conversations; "augmentation" groups task iteration, learning, and validation. Both buckets are shares of conversations with a classified collaboration pattern, excluding the unclassified "none" pattern; the six individual pattern shares include unclassified conversations. They describe how people use Claude on this occupation's tasks — not what share of workers in the occupation use AI.
  2. Conversation share is this occupation's percentage of all classified Claude.ai conversations. Rows under 0.05% are flagged as low-volume; read their percentages with caution.
  3. Core tasks are the O*NET 31.0 core task statements ranked by O*NET importance; skills are the O*NET importance ratings (1–5).
  4. BLS occupations are matched to O*NET-SOC codes with the BLS O*NET-to-NEM crosswalk; where a BLS occupation spans several O*NET occupations, we average their values.
