  What VOLO covers and what it does not, including which occupations have no evidence yet. Call this when someone asks whether their job is covered, so the answer is a fact about this site rather than a guess about their job.

  What VOLO covers and what it does not: the full list of covered occupations and degrees (slug and name), which occupations have no evidence yet, and the counts. Call this when someone asks whether their job is covered, and whenever resolve_occupation_or_major returns null — then decide from the list which entry, if any, the person means. The answer is a fact about this site rather than a guess about their job.

  before

  Resolve a job title, a company's internal name for a role, a nickname or a degree name to a canonical VOLO entity. Call this FIRST whenever a person names their job. Returns a match field of exact or approximate — when it is approximate, say which entity you read the question as. Returns null when VOLO does not cover it, which is a gap in this site and not a statement about the job.

  Resolve a job title, a company's internal name for a role, a nickname or a degree name to a canonical VOLO entity. Call this FIRST whenever a person names their job. It matches names; it does not read sentences — so work out yourself which job the person means and pass only that title, in the singular ("taxi driver", not "Will robotaxis replace taxi drivers?"). Returns a match field of exact or approximate — when it is approximate, say which entity you read the question as. Null means this name did not match, not yet that VOLO lacks the job: before saying VOLO does not cover it, call describe_coverage and read its list of covered occupations and degrees — if one of them is what the person means (a synonym, a broader or narrower name), use that one and say which you chose. Only if none fits is it a gap in this site, which is not a statement about the job.

• 2026-10-13get_action_briefadded

  Use this when a person asks what they should do about AI or automation in their job ("I'm an accountant, how do I stay employable?"). One call returns, task by task: where the task is heading and how strong the evidence is; which laws, regulators, courts or collective agreements keep that task (or its signature) with a person; which employers or regulators have already moved it; and transition paths, each with its real constraints and one thing to check this week. Pass the job title as the person said it (any language) or a slug; optionally the task ids they actually do. Build your advice on these facts, keep each record's scope and each task's limits, and never turn it into a probability, a score or a number of years.

• 2026-09-25query_ontologyadded

  Walk the VOLO Ontology directly. No arguments: the object types and link types. `type`: the objects of that type. `type` + `id`: one object's properties and everything it links to, grouped by link. Add `link` (and `direction`: out|in) to follow one link. Types include Occupation, Task, TaskJudgement, Evidence, Regulation, WorkActivity and ClassificationConcept. Read-only; judgements keep their basis and limits, evidence its scope — carry them into the answer. No aggregate score exists.

  Where an occupation or a degree sits in the official classifications (U.S. Department of Labor O*NET 31.0; U.S. Department of Education CIP–SOC crosswalk; the EU's ESCO, the ILO's ISCO-08 and Singapore's SSOC 2024): the matching codes with how well each fits, the skills, knowledge and work activities O*NET rates highest (as O*NET's own importance words, no numbers), related occupations and which degrees lead to it; each of this site's tasks aligned to O*NET detailed work activities (or why none fits); and the rules this site's verified records read, with the verb that matters and whom it binds. For a degree: where the official crosswalk and this site's paths agree and disagree. Every block names its source. O*NET says what a job demands, not what automation is doing to it; never combine it with the impact index.
