- Meesho says 70% of its code is AI-generated; AI feeds drive 75% of orders
SoftBank-backed Meesho is scaling its use of artificial intelligence across operations, with over 70% of its code now generated using AI tools. As tech companies look to improve efficiency and move faster, Meesho’s latest shareholder letter shows how AI is being used across its core functions. CEO Vidit Aatrey said AI is now being applied across coding, testing, reviews, and deployment, helping reduce turnaround time for building products. The company added that platform experiments in Q4 FY26 doubled compared to last year, indicating faster iteration cycles. On the consumer side, Meesho said over 75% of orders on the platform come through AI-led personalized feeds rather than search. The firm added that these improvements led to around a 15% increase in conversion and reduced the time for new seller listings to gain traction by about 27%. The company is also testing voice-based commerce through its assistant, Vaani. Within the first month, the feature saw about 1.5 million users, with

Together with OpenAI, the two money-losing startups account for roughly half of the $2 trillion in committed cloud revenue at Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Oracle. Whether the 20- to 30-fold revenue growth both companies are projecting by 2029 will justify these numbers remains an open question.
