Psychiatric Aides
How psychiatric aides are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
About 45% of the work in Psychiatric Aides is information-shaped and increasingly AI-deliverable, with the rest a hybrid of judgment and hands-on work. The automation frontier runs straight through the middle of this role.
Why: Tools are almost evenly split between IT/software like patient management systems (segment 43, 12 tools) and physical medical equipment like restraints and suctioning kits (segment 42, 11 tools). Work activities similarly blend 'Documenting/Recording Information' (4.41) with hands-on 'Assisting and Caring for Others' (4.65). The work context enforces a physical requirement through 'Physical Proximity' (4.55) and 'Exposed to Disease or Infections' (4.17), placing this role squarely in the hybrid band of physical patient care and digital charting.

Headless SaaS for Agents
The software here going agent-consumable — where the API, not the UI, becomes the way the work gets done.
Psychiatric Aides uses 18 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.
+6 more via usesTool
Psychiatric Aides relies on 15 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.
+3 more via uses
The software Psychiatric 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.
