Other sectors like customer service, sales, and finance each represent only a small fraction of total usage, leading Anthropic to describe the current state of agent adoption as still being in its “early days.” Claude Code’s longest autonomous work sessions nearly doubled between October 2025 and January 2026, growing from under 25 minutes to over 45 minutes, signaling a rapid increase in how long AI agents can operate independently. submitted by /u/AngleAccomplished865
