Is anyone building real software with AI agents?

I used claude for a small project last weekend that will 100% create significant value in my workplace. It’s a non-tech setting. Going to be vague so as not to give out too much personal information.

Basically it allowed me to easily spin up a highly usable front-end as well as scrape together a large dataset to back it. The dataset is industry specific knowledge that does not exist in any public, single source. Part of this dataset creation was generating geolocation polygons based on legal documents that verbally defined physical territory. Absolute precision is not necessary for our purposes, but as far as we have confirmed so far the agent basically one-shotted the data with negligible errors and sufficient precision.

Humans were involved in the process, but there is zero chance this project would have happened without agents. The dataset alone would have taken weeks of full time effort. The front end would have been easier, but still time consuming.

I don’t really understand how people aren’t seeing the value in this.

Yes. We rewrote our entire internal tools backend and frontend with Claude in the last 6 months. This was a tool with about 15 years of development by humans.

We did not rewrite our customer app but all maintenance and new feature code is 99% AI agent written and has been for the last 6 months.

You're not going to see us write a blog post about it though. We prefer not to tell our customers that the software they use is mostly AI written.

It seems that companies are still hesitant to market themselves as having built products with AI agents, so they find it difficult to make such projects public. At the moment, AI products appear to be emerging mostly at the level of personal projects or simple websites. I think it won’t be long before we start seeing independent projects being prepared.
