Cursor is required in 6 jobs out of 37,920 April 2026 postings. ChatGPT in 4. GitHub Copilot in 5. The AI-replaces-jobs narrative isn't showing up in the actual JDs companies publish. AI is the new Excel: pervasive, normalized, and assumed rather than required.

About this research program.
Four-Leaf operates a nightly job-data pipeline across public ATS feeds (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever) for a curated index of AI-native and high-growth employers. These reports aggregate that corpus. We publish the dataset behind every headline number, disclose sample sizes, label any LLM-derived signals as such, and keep the methodology in one place so findings stay reproducible.
