About these numbers

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.

The October 2026 edition counts postings first posted from October 1, 2026 to October 31, 2026, retrieved from TheirStack on November 2, 2026, and was published on November 2, 2026.
