What does it take to move from giving employees AI tools to rebuilding how an organization gets work done? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Oren Levitzky, VP of R&D at Fiverr. Oren has spent ten years at the company, progressing from backend engineer through a series of leadership roles before taking responsibility for Fiverr's AI program. That experience gives him a valuable view of AI adoption from inside a global technology marketplace. He has watched engineering teams move from using ChatGPT as a conversational assistant to GitHub Copilot for code completion, Cursor for context-aware development, and an internal agent ecosystem containing Fiverr's code, data, and organizational knowledge. Oren explains that adding AI to an existing workflow produced useful gains, but it did not completely change how people worked. Becoming AI native required Fiverr to create a dedicated team of engineers, designers, and product managers responsible for building agents around company context and helping employees adopt new working practices. Fiverr reports that this approach has made some development work three to five times faster.
