The biannual survey, based on responses from over 1,100 developers, CTOs, and founders, reveals accelerating adoption of AI agents and a shift in AI spending from model training to inference. While only 10% of respondents have fully autonomous agents in production, 53% report productivity gains and 44% have unlocked new business capabilities from using AI agents. Human oversight remains crucial, with 40% still using human review of agent outputs. Looking ahead to 2026, 38% of those not yet using AI agents plan to explore deployment, indicating significant growth potential. Key challenges cited include managing the complexity and cost of multiple AI tools. Overall, the report shows agentic AI is poised to become a core driver of business value, but most organizations are still in the early stages of adoption.
