AI Coding Agents

Why now?

  • Coding is the first knowledge-work domain where agents deliver measurable, verifiable output
  • Tests and version control give agents a feedback loop most other work lacks
  • Engineering leaders are re-planning headcount around agent throughput
  • The bottleneck is shifting from writing code to specifying, reviewing and securing it
Why it matters
Software engineering is the proving ground for every other form of agentic work. What happens here previews what happens in law, finance and operations.

AI Agents

80

Software that plans, acts and completes work with supervision.

An AI agent is a system that uses a model to plan and execute multi-step tasks by calling tools, reading and writing data, and taking actions in software environments, typically with a human setting goals and reviewing outcomes.

  • A goal is specified in natural language, often with constraints and examples.
  • A reasoning model decomposes the goal into steps and decides which tools to call.
  • Tools expose actions: search, code execution, database queries, API calls, browser control.
