Jellyfish’s State of AI Coding Assistants report examines adoption, impact, and future outlook of tools like GitHub Copilot. By 2024, 62% of developers used AI tools, with Copilot having 1.3 million paid subscriptions and half of its users’ code AI-generated. Jellyfish found Copilot reduced cycle time by 12.6% and delivered cost savings of up to $112,500 annually for teams of 50, though it also increased bug creation by 9.4%, partly offset by faster bug resolution. Case studies like Varo Bank showed Copilot accelerating adoption of new frameworks and improving team efficiency. The report stresses measuring ROI and aligning AI investments with long-term engineering goals.
