Snapchat owner cuts 1,000 jobs as says AI will reduce repetitive work.

Snapchat owner cuts 1,000 jobs as says AI will reduce repetitive work. 1 hour ago Kali HaysTechnology reporter Snap is the latest tech company to cut jobs, citing the growing ability of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The Snapchat owner has axed about 1,000 employees - 16% of staff - and withdrawn hundreds of open job roles, according to a financial disclosure. Evan Spiegel, Snap's co-founder and CEO, told employees the company was in "a crucible moment" and the goal of the cuts was to reduce yearly costs by $500m (£368m). Spiegel said that workers who remain at the company will be using AI tools to "reduce repetitive work and increase velocity," as "small squads" of employees have been doing in recent months. "Change of this magnitude and at this speed is never easy and it will not be seamless," Spiegel added in his memo. This cut at Snap marks at least the third larger scale layoff at the company since 2022, when it conducted its first major layoff which impacted 20% of its staff at the time. Spiegel's comments on Wednesday are the first time he has pointed to AI as an explanation for staffing decisions. This year, activist investor Irenic Capital Management took a stake in Snap, saying in a public letter to Spiegel that it was "strange" the company remained unprofitable after 15 years in business and with hundreds of millions of monthly users. Irenic noted that an investor who put $1 into Snap when it went public in 2017 would be left with a stake worth only 23 cents today. An activist investor is a person or investment firm that buys shares in a company it believes is underperforming and then applies pressure for management and business changes. Snap now requires "a new way of working that is faster and more efficient, while pivoting towards profitable growth", Spiegel wrote in his memo to staff. His explanation echoed that of other tech executives this year who have begun citing the increased capability of AI technology, mainly tools that help software engineers do coding work, as they order their own mass job cuts. Already this year Amazon, Meta, Block, Pinterest and Atlassian, among others, have collectively laid off several thousand workers. Company executives have either pointed to increased use of AI tools meaning they need fewer workers, or noted that plans to spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on investing in AI requires cost-cutting in other parts of the company. Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Block and the former leader of Twitter, said at the end of February that the rise of AI tools for tech workers "fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company". He also said people in the industry should expect further job cuts at "the majority of companies" over the next year.

Atlassian launches Remix visual AI tool and third-party agents in Confluence

Atlassian has announced new AI tools for Confluence, including visual tool Remix in open beta, which transforms data into charts and graphics without requiring additional software. Remix recommends optimal visual formats and creates assets directly within Confluence. The company also introduced three third-party agents using model context protocols. These connect Confluence to Lovable for converting ideas into prototypes, Replit for turning technical documents into starter apps, and Gamma for building presentation materials. The updates follow Atlassian's strategy of embedding AI directly into existing applications rather than launching separate platforms. In February, the company added AI agents to Jira. This approach mirrors an industry-wide trend, with companies like Salesforce and OpenAI focusing on integrating AI tools into current workflows rather than creating standalone AI software.

Atlassian cuts 10% of workforce and exits on-premise Confluence as shares fall 69% in one year

Atlassian has raised questions about its valuation following workforce cuts of approximately 10%, increased AI investment and its exit from on-premise Confluence. The moves coincide with sharp share price declines: down 57.22% over 90 days and 69.03% over one year, though recent seven-day gains suggest short-term stabilisation. Trading at $69.37 per share against a fair value estimate of $204.74, the most followed narrative suggests a 66.1% undervaluation. Supporters point to product portfolio expansion and margin assumptions, noting Atlassian achieved record $1 million-plus contracts recently. Its Enterprise edition grew 40% year-over-year, whilst cloud revenue expanded 30% through cross-selling and higher average revenue per user. The valuation case depends on sustained cloud revenue growth, margin expansion and maintaining a premium price-to-earnings multiple typical of top-tier software companies.
