About this Dashboard
AI Economic Pulse is an interactive explorer for the Anthropic Economic Index — the most comprehensive dataset on real-world AI usage in the economy.
What makes this data unique
Unlike theoretical predictions about AI's economic impact, the Anthropic Economic Index is based on observed usage from millions of real Claude conversations. It measures what people actually use AI for, not what researchers think AI could do.
