Stonemasons
How stonemasons are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 10% of Stonemasons 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 Stonemasons use some IT/software tools for estimating and business orchestration (13 tools in segment 43), the core value-producing work is overwhelmingly physical. Top work activities are dominated by Performing General Physical Activities (4.47) and Handling and Moving Objects (4.28). Work context signals strongly reinforce this, highlighting the use of protective equipment (4.98), working outdoors in all weather conditions (4.76), and spending time using hands to control tools and objects (4.71).

Headless SaaS for Agents
The software here going agent-consumable — where the API, not the UI, becomes the way the work gets done.
Stonemasons uses 117 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.
+105 more via usesTool
Stonemasons relies on 20 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.
+8 more via uses
The software Stonemasons 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.
