Open-source development has long been characterized by human contributors writing code, submitting patches, and collaborating on issues. However, a new paradigm is emerging as AI agents actively participate in open-source projects, bringing both opportunities and challenges to community-driven software development. While working on collab.dev, we observed projects with staggering bot activity, pointing toward a broader trend in automation within open-source development. According to the most recent repo activity, projects demonstrating how automated systems are increasingly becoming central to open source workflows include: dotansimha/graphql-yoga: 89.1% of PRs created by bots hedgedoc/hedgedoc: 87.6% of PRs created by bots nestjs/nest: 93.7% of PRs created by bots This evolution of automated contributions has now reached a new frontier with AI agents that can not only execute predefined tasks like traditional bots but also learn, adapt, and generate novel solutions.
