rasabaq/agents-index

Not how much AI a country has, but what AI agents can actually do there.
In the US, an AI agent can buy from a merchant inside a chat assistant. In Chile, can it? This index tracks concrete agent capabilities country by country. Every status cites a source, and the countries are ranked by what agents can do for ordinary people and businesses.

## A quick tour
| World map. Where agents can act today. A brighter country has a higher score. | Country view. What works today, what does not yet, and why. Every cell links to its sources. |
Periodic table. Each tile is one capability. The big number counts the countries where it is live.
## How it works

A["data/.json status + sources"] --> B["src/observatory.js scoring + validation"]
B --> C["agentindex.art map, console, charts"]
B --> D["npm test / validate CI on every PR"]
Each country gets a status for every capability: Live, Limited, Announced or Not yet. The score is the share of capabilities that work today. See docs/methodology.md for the details.
## Run it
sh
npm start # serves the site on http://localhost:8080
npm test # scoring and validation tests
npm run validate # checks every data file and prints the ranking
npm run check-links # fails on dead source links (404/410)
npm run refresh-repos # measures the open-source repos: stars, installs, last commit
npm run refresh-sites # reads each company homepage for its logo
The site has no build step and no dependencies. Node 20 or later runs the checks.
## Layout
| Path | What it holds |
| data/meta.json | Countries, categories and the asOf date |
| data/ .json | Capabilities, the status in each country with sources, and the companies that enable them |
| src/observatory.js | Scoring and validation, shared by the site and Node |
| docs/methodology.md | How the data is collected and scored |
| index.html | The page, top to bottom: the hero, the world map, the console (country view, status matrix, ranking, categories, newest sources), the numbers band, the Compare countries charts, Companies (with the flows and network charts), Open source, the timeline and Method |
| app.js, hero.js, sections.js | The console, the hero, and the numbers band |
| charts/charts.js, charts/viz-.js | The ten charts: charts.js loads the data once and draws each chart into its "> slot in index.html |
| styles.css, console.css, hero.css, sections.css, charts/charts.css | Shared tokens, then the home page parts and the chart windows |
| scripts/ | Data checks and refresh scripts run by npm |
| test/ | Node tests for scoring, validation and the data |
## Update the data
1. Edit a category file in data/. Every Live, Limited or Announced cell needs a source URL. Add "confidence": "low" when the sources are thin.
2. Bump asOf in data/meta.json. No source date may be later than asOf.
