AI REPORT

90% of devs now use AI daily

Recaply: Google just dropped some eye-opening numbers about how developers work today. Their 2025 DORA report surveyed nearly 5,000 tech professionals worldwide and found something remarkable - AI isn't just trendy anymore, it's essential. Nine out of ten developers now use AI tools regularly, spending about two hours daily working alongside artificial intelligence.

Key notes:

• AI adoption jumped 14% in one year, reaching 90% of software professionals.

• Developers spend a median of 2 hours daily using AI tools in their workflow.

• Over 80% report significant productivity boosts from AI assistance.

• 59% say AI actually improves their code quality, not just speed.

• Google calls this shift from novelty to necessity "near-universal adoption".

Impact: This isn't just another tech trend - it's a fundamental shift in how software gets built. When 90% of developers rely on AI daily, we're witnessing the biggest change in programming since the internet. The takeaway for businesses? AI-assisted development is becoming the baseline, not the advantage.

Google's AI design tool goes live

Recaply: Google Labs just dropped Mixboard, a new AI tool that turns your ideas into visual concept boards. Think Pinterest meets ChatGPT for design projects. You type what you want, and it creates mood boards for home decor, events, or DIY projects.

Key notes:

• Works from simple text prompts or pre-made templates.

• Combines your photos with AI-generated images.

• Uses "Nano Banana" model for natural language editing.

• One-click options like "regenerate" and "more like this".
