Occupational Therapy Aides
How occupational therapy aides are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 25% of Occupational Therapy Aides is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: While the occupation utilizes a high count of IT and software tools (13 tools in segment 43, including EMR and scheduling software) for administration, the core work is intensely hands-on. Top Work Activities like 'Assisting and Caring for Others' (4.82) and 'Performing General Physical Activities' (4.31), combined with Work Contexts such as 'Physical Proximity' (4.49) and exposure to disease (4.13), firmly root the value delivery in the physical domain.

Headless SaaS for Agents
The software here going agent-consumable — where the API, not the UI, becomes the way the work gets done.
Occupational Therapy Aides uses 36 tools today. As each gains an agent-consumable surface (API / MCP / SDK), the human UI stops being the only way in — and the work routes straight to an agent.
+24 more via usesTool
Occupational Therapy Aides relies on 14 products. The headless dimension of each — whether an agent can call it without a screen — is what decides how much of this work goes hands-free.
+2 more via uses
The software Occupational Therapy Aides reaches for already exposes 12 agent-callable actions (via uses → exposedBy) — typed surfaces an agent invokes directly, no human screen in the loop. The work routes to the API, not the UI.
