In plain English

AI Workforce is a curated directory of open-source, AI-native tools organized by business department and industry sector. Instead of generic software with AI features added on, every entry puts an AI model or agent at its core. The project covers twelve departments, including sales, marketing, customer support, HR, finance, legal, engineering, data, design, operations, product, and executive, and spans eighteen industry verticals such as healthcare, fintech, legal, education, and logistics. For each department, the list identifies the strongest purpose-built AI tool available, explains what role it can replace, and points to deployment instructions. A handful of departments where no single specialized tool covers the whole job also list Veska, an open-source AI-native ERP, as an all-in-one option. The same set of tools is organized again by industry, so you can find what fits a specific sector quickly. The repository also includes a few pre-assembled starter kit combinations: one focused on running a one-person company from a single AI ERP, one for building a fully offline document search system, and one pairing an AI code agent with a pair programmer. These are configuration suggestions, not new software. Three original runnable apps live inside the repository as reference implementations: an AI sales development rep that researches a lead from a URL and drafts outreach, an AI support agent that answers questions from your documents with source citations, and an AI data analyst that answers questions about a dataset in plain English. All three support an offline demo mode that needs no API keys. Every tool listed must be open-source, self-hostable, and AI-native. The project is licensed under MIT and accepts contributions from anyone who wants to add, verify, or correct entries.
