Humans and the Loop

Look up any occupation and see its work activities, each scored for what software can do today.

Concept

Humans and the Loop is built on O*NET, the US Department of Labor’s database of occupations. Each occupation breaks down into its work activities.

Each activity is placed in a band for how much of its output software can produce today, and linked to the tools that do that work. It is a free directory with no ranked or sponsored listings.
