Google CEO Says AI Now Generates 75% of New Code as Company Shifts Fully to Agentic Workflows

Google is moving generative AI beyond its role as an engineering assistant and turning it into an agentic workflow capable of independently breaking down and executing tasks, with engineers overseeing teams of digital workers. The transition has implications for software development efficiency, workforce responsibilities and code governance, while underscoring AI’s emergence as a core productivity tool at major technology companies.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai recently said AI now generates about 75% of the company’s new code, as its engineering teams fully adopt an agent-based collaboration model. Microsoft, Meta and Snap are also continuing to increase their use of AI-assisted coding. The reports did not provide the date of Pichai’s announcement, investment figures or directly comparable current percentages for the companies.
