Lenny's Podcast: Product | Career | Growth · Snapchat CEO: Why distribution has become the most important moat | Evan Spiegel · 26 Apr 2026 podcast

So they took some online tutorials and like, you know, boom, like we were off to the races.

So I think the design team has always been really flexible in terms of, you know, their curiosity, learning new things.

And so I don't think you have to like push people or create a requirement or something like that for folks to want to adopt new tools and want to, you know, want to ship code.

I think, you know, the big question now that everyone and anyone

thinks they can submit a PR is like how we don't break things at a billion or nearly a billion user scale, right?

That's really important.

So I think what we've really tried to do is also develop AI tools and guardrails to make it easier for more people to participate and submit code, but also reduce the likelihood that we're going to have some sort of bug.

So we've got automated code review now.

We've, I think, automatically detected like

close to 10,000 bugs at this point, probably.

We have a system at Snap where on the internal version of the app, you can shake to report your problem, and agents now debug exactly what happened, what went wrong, and can actually suggest a fix.

And I think in pretty short order, it'll be implementing the fix as well, which is pretty crazy.

I think taking a step back, there's so much excitement around the way that AI is going to change the way that companies work.

Obviously, software companies in particular, like ours, I think, are on the cutting edge of the way that AI is changing how things get built and what gets done.

We really wanted to bring some order to that chaos.

And so the way that we did that was really by starting with the jobs to be done for our community and our advertisers.

So getting really, really basic and straightforward on, okay,

you know for snapchatters right or jobs to be done it's as simple as like get people to download the app right get them to add their close friends you know get them to you know i don't know use lenses something like that on the advertiser front right it could be you know getting bringing people into the ad platform configuring their campaign etc and so by listing out all these jobs to be done you know really for the for the community journey and for advertisers as well

it became very clear where we could use agents, where we needed to be very focused in terms of building cross-functional teams around those jobs supported by AI tools.

And it's also given us, I think, a really helpful mechanism to track our progress against the business outcomes for each of those jobs.
