Monthly pulse

AI agent use pulse survey

We’re studying how skilled professionals use AI agents. Please answer based on your experience during the past 30 days. Your input will help us build a clearer picture of how experts are using AI today, and ultimately help shape tools that better support expert work.

Do not include client names, confidential information, proprietary prompts, or specific project details. Results will only be reported in aggregate.

For this survey, an AI agent is a tool that can plan and carry out a multi-step task, such as editing code or files, conducting research, using tools, or working autonomously with limited guidance. A simple chatbot conversation does not count.
