## AI overview

In its 2026 founders' letter, Cloudflare discusses web growth driven by creators using AI-assisted coding tools, many of which deploy on Cloudflare's developer platform. It also describes rapidly growing automated traffic from AI agents and crawlers, and the resulting changes to Internet traffic.

## Source excerpt
