Planning your 2026 AI tooling budget: guidance for engineering leaders

Budgets for AI tools are set to nearly double in 2026, with companies already allocating 1–8% of revenue to AI productivity initiatives (ICONIQ, 2025). But with the rapid pace of AI innovation, how should engineering leaders plan their AI tooling budgets for 2026, especially for tools that don’t even exist yet? Watch this on-demand discussion with CEO Abi Noda and CTO Laura Tacho on how engineering leaders can prepare for this new reality.

They cover:

  • Key trends we’re seeing in AI tooling spend across enterprises
