Check out Gartner Symposium: https://cxo.news/KGg8XY === Tamar Yehoshua is Chief Product and AI Officer at Atlassian, where AI agents are now direct users of the software her team builds.

Check out Gartner Symposium: https://cxo.news/KGg8XY ======== More than 90% of the code at Snap is now written by AI agents, and a code review agent checks most of it within ten minutes. Saral Jain, SVP, Head of Engineering and CIO at Snap Inc., built the system that makes that safe for nearly a billion monthly users.

He wrote the first check into Snyk and backed Protect AI, which Palo Alto Networks acquired for more than $700 million.
