This edition

One in five AI postings already wants someone who can build agents.

In this edition, 19.0% of core AI postings mention AI agents and 18.9% mention RAG — already close to two thirds of the 31.1% that mention large language models at all. Application-layer skills are becoming the default ask, not the bonus.

This is a single snapshot of open postings. Rising and falling need the next edition.

Data transparency

Where these numbers come from

This edition samples the job listings publicly accessible in Taiwan on September 11, 2026: keyword searches produce candidates, and this site's own method decides what is a core AI posting (a technical title carrying an AI term, minus teaching roles and staffing-agency reposts) — 3,523 postings in the end. Skills are counted from the employer's own skill tags and from the job description. Method version 2026.09.1.
