Bending Spoons reports 94% of code is now AI-written

Bending Spoons co-founder and CEO Luca Ferrari states that the company's internal AI adoption has reached saturation in several key functions. Two years ago, 0% of the company's code was written by AI; currently, 94% is AI-generated. Ferrari argues that no good company should be below 70% AI-written code at this stage. In data science and analysis, at least 90% of tasks such as fetching, cleaning, and plotting data are now performed by AI, allowing human data scientists to focus on architectural work and tooling. Customer support is 100% handled by AI or external vendors, with human managers shifting to product management roles to architect response processes. The company has built an internal agent called "Old ALT" (Alternative Spooner) that lives in Slack, has access to GitHub repos and Drive folders, and can autonomously execute complex tasks. One example involved an Evernote general manager asking the agent to check customer support logs, find a bug's root cause in the codebase, code a fix, and ping the engineering lead for review, a process that was completed autonomously. Ferrari argues that AI is not just a productivity lever but a fundamental operational shift, with most digital products retaining durable moats despite AI's ability to replicate code, due to network effects, proprietary data, and switching costs.
