Why 96% of Developers Are Excited About AI Agents—And What It Means for Your Team

According to Salesforce’s recent State of IT survey, 96% of developers worldwide believe that AI agents will positively reshape their work—and more than 90% say they’re excited about what this means for their careers.

That’s not just hype—it’s a wake-up call for engineering teams and decision-makers alike.

If nearly every developer is ready to embrace AI in their workflow, the real question is: Is your organization giving them the tools to do it?

Developers Want to Work  Smarter, Not Harder

Despite what we often hear, developers aren’t afraid of AI replacing them. In fact, most developers are optimistic about AI agents because these tools help them avoid the least rewarding parts of their job.

We’re talking about:

• Writing repetitive API calls
• Debugging boilerplate code
• Managing backend services and cloud setup
• Creating the same CRUD interfaces again and again

These aren’t tasks developers love. They’re necessary—but they slow everything down.

That’s where AI development agents like CloudApper AI DevAgent come in.

Meet AI DevAgent: The AI That Builds So You Can Think

CloudApper AI DevAgent is a fully autonomous software development agent. It handles the backend, automates APIs, deploys to the cloud, and builds entire enterprise-grade systems—all without needing human intervention.

In short: it eliminates the busywork so your team can focus on what matters.

And in the context of the Salesforce report, this isn’t just a productivity booster—it’s an alignment tool. AI DevAgent gives developers what they want:

• More time to problem-solve
• Freedom from low-value tasks
• The ability to ship faster without burnout

Developers Want Impact, Not Output

Salesforce’s survey also found that 92% of developers want to be evaluated based on impact—not output. This is a clear sign that developers are craving work that’s meaningful.

AI-DevAgent makes this shift possible. Instead of spending time rewriting APIs or fixing errors in integration logic, developers can:

• Architect smarter systems
• Focus on UX and feature innovation
• Collaborate more with stakeholders
• Guide AI on what to build, rather than doing it all themselves

This means better morale, less churn, and ultimately faster time to value for the business.

The Bottom Line for Engineering Leaders

Your developers want AI tools. They’re ready for agents who reduce their workload and increase their impact. The numbers from Salesforce don’t lie.

So why wait?

If your team is still stuck in a cycle of backlogs, missed deadlines, and overworked devs—it’s time to consider giving them an AI partner.

CloudApper AI-DevAgent doesn’t replace developers. It makes them faster, happier, and far more effective.
