AI tools are becoming an essential part of a developer's workflow, regardless of their industry, seniority, or specialization.

This year's developer survey reveals that 76% of all respondents are currently using or are planning to use AI tools in their development process this year, up from 70% in 2023. Front-end, fullstack, and cloud infrastructure developers are more likely to be using the tools now, and even beginner coders are turning to AI to speed up their learning process.

In the next year, most developers agree that AI tools will be more integrated mostly in the ways they are documenting code (81%), testing code (80%), and writing code (76%).
