Demand for freelancers explodes, thanks to agentic AI
Briefly

The latest Fiverr 'Business Trends Index' indicates a staggering 18,347% increase in demand for specialists in AI agents over six months, with a larger surge in Germany. This rise is attributed to advancements in agentic AI, enabling its application in tasks like email management and customer service. Although experts foresee a trillion-dollar market, firms face implementation challenges and are increasingly hiring freelancers. AI consultant Mark Kashef reports a notable transition from simple chatbots to complex systems, highlighting growing integration requests in corporate workflows, now comprising 49% of his projects.
"Nearly 30% of my Fiverr assignments are for AI agent development, with demand shifting dramatically from simple chatbots to multi-agent systems that work across web, WhatsApp, and voice channels."
"Companies have gone from asking 'What can AI do?' to 'How quickly can we integrate AI into our workflows?' - with automation, voice and integration requests now making up 49% of my project pipeline."
