A posting counts when its description names a specific AI tool or skill, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or RAG.
Because only named tools and skills count, these shares run lower than a count of every mention of AI or machine learning would for the same postings; see how this index differs from broader AI job trackers.

Notes on this edition
The September 2026 edition counts postings first posted from September 1, 2026 to September 30, 2026, retrieved from TheirStack on October 30, 2026, and was published on October 30, 2026; this is revision 2.
- Aravise corrected this edition on October 30, 2026: TheirStack did not answer some of the searches while the edition was captured, because it limits how often it can be asked or did not respond in time, and those counts were asked of TheirStack again for the same month. The earlier figures stay in the downloads, marked superseded.
