I use AI (Oct 2026)

Over the past year, the author's AI usage has evolved dramatically, particularly in coding where agentic AI systems like Claude Code have replaced manual coding work—the author now manages 5-6 AI agents that independently write code, run tests, and create pull requests. The author has also changed roles from Microsoft to Salesforce AI Research and developed a personal AI policy to guide ethical use of these tools as AI capabilities continue to advance. Key use cases remain similar to last year (coding, research, writing, art) but with significant shifts in how AI augments each task, spending approximately $3,000 monthly on tokens.
