Usage Examples

1. Build a knowledge graph from job ads

"What AI skills are Finnish employers looking for right now?"

Uses headai_build_knowledge_graph with dataset job_ads, country fi, and AI-related search terms. Returns ranked skills with weights and connections.

2. Compare curriculum vs. job market

"Compare our data science curriculum against what employers need"

Build two snapshots, then use headai_scorecard to get coverage %, matched skills, gaps, and surplus.

3. Detect trending skills over time

"How have cybersecurity skills evolved from 2022 to 2025?"

Build yearly snapshots, then headai_build_signals classifies skills into 8 groups: Emerging, Growing, Constant, Declining, Disappearing.

4. Cross-source horizon analysis

"What does the future look like for autonomous vehicles?"

Combine job_ads (now) → investment_data (1-3yr) → doaj_articles (5-10yr) into signals.

5. Career recommendations

"I know Python and SQL. What should I learn next for data engineering?"

Use headai_compass for personalized skill recommendations based on Zone of Proximal Development.
