Measured, not estimated: Anthropic's samples of Claude.ai conversations, each tied by a model to an O*NET task, from the Anthropic Economic Index. It says where Claude's use goes, not how much of this job's working time it covers, so it is not on the same scale as the reach above. The releases differ in their sample, their classifier and the smallest share they report (the June 2026 file rounds each task to a hundredth of a percent, so a smaller task reads as none), which is why a change of method starts a new line. At least 96% of each older release's task-tied use matched this site's tasks, and all of the newest. Claude.ai only, so use through other tools and other companies' models is not in it. Every job ranked.
Robots and the physical work
Anthropic rates 29% of this job's working time as physical work. For 3% of the working time, a robot has been shown doing most of the task somewhere: 3% in any setting. 0.08 of 3, the 537th highest of the 923 jobs.
- Not physical 71%
- No robot shown 27%
- In any setting 3%
Anthropic's rating, not this site's estimate: Claude Opus 5, searching the web, rated each physical O*NET task by the kind of setting in which a robot it could cite (deployed, sold or demonstrated) does most of the task, weighted by its own estimate of each task's share of the time (What work can robots do?, September 30, 2026, data CC BY 4.0; every job ranked). A robot shown somewhere is not a robot in your building: cost, setup and safety decide that. The share within reach on this page still counts no body work. The robot behind each rated task is under the task below.

Questions about this job
- How much of the work of Farm and Home Management Educators is within reach of AI now?
- An estimated 35% of the working time is within reach of AI models now and 53% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five (48% to 54% across the three paces the site shows). Within reach means a model could finish work that long at that reliability. It is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
- Which tasks of Farm and Home Management Educators come within reach first?
- Weighted by the time each takes, the tasks with the most within reach now (projected from METR's April 2026 measurement and Epoch's November 2026 index) are: Prepare and distribute leaflets, pamphlets, and visual aids for educational and informational purposes (80% of the task's time now, 100% by the end of 2028); Act as an advocate for farmers or farmers' groups (96% of the task's time now); and Maintain records of services provided and the effects of advice given (100% of the task's time now).
- Which tasks of Farm and Home Management Educators stay with people?
- Tasks that are people work or body work are not counted as within reach at any date. The largest: Organize, advise, and participate in community activities and organizations, such as county and state fair events and 4-H Clubs; Collaborate with producers to diagnose and prevent management and production problems; and Schedule and make regular visits to farmers. Together such tasks are about 46% of the working time.
- Do people already use AI for the work of Farm and Home Management Educators?
- In the Claude.ai conversations Anthropic sampled for May 2026 and tied to a work task, 0.032% went to this job's tasks, the 264th largest share of the 447 jobs that showed up; 2 of its 15 tasks appeared. Anthropic's labor market measure puts the share of the job's tasks seen in real Claude use at work at 0%. These are measures of use, not of how much of the work AI could finish, and they cover Claude only.
- Can robots do the physical work of Farm and Home Management Educators?
- Anthropic's robot exposure rating (September 2026) finds 29% of the working time is physical work, and that a robot has been shown doing most of the task, somewhere, for 3% of the working time, 3% in any setting. Its index is 0.08 of 3. One example: ROGO SmartCore robotic soil sampler for "provide direct assistance to farmers by performing activities such as purchasing or selling products and supplies, supervising properties, and collecting soil and herbage samples for testing". A robot shown somewhere is not one in every workplace; this site's own estimates still count no physical work as within reach.
- How is this estimated?
- From the 15 tasks O*NET lists for the occupation, each with an estimated length checked against GDPval and a share of the working time, each classed as desk, people or body work, and METR's measurements of how long a task the best AI models can finish, carried forward to the date from the latest, Claude Mythos Preview (early) in April 2026. Data checked November 10, 2026.
