IBM's Bob AI Platform Saves Teams 70% Time

IBM has globally launched Bob, an AI-powered software development platform already used by over 80,000 employees. The system uses multi-model routing and agentic AI to write and test code across the development lifecycle, saving some teams up to 70% of time on selected tasks, averaging 10 hours per week. Bob addresses enterprise security and orchestration concerns by building in structured human-led checkpoints throughout workflows. The platform scaled rapidly from just 100 internal users in summer 2025, reflecting growing demand for AI coding tools that can reliably operate in production environments.
