Demand for workers with artificial intelligence skills was a boon for Fiverr<\/a> in the second quarter, according to a Wednesday (July 30) \u00a0earnings press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fiverr saw a nearly 15% year-over-year increase in revenue, driven in part by what the freelancer platform called a \u201csurging demand\u201d for AI-related services in categories such as AI agents and workflow automation, per the release.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith AI fundamentally changing how humans and machines interact, it allows many nontechnical entrepreneurs and professionals to build and leverage the technology,\u201d CEO Micha Kaufman<\/a> said in prepared remarks<\/a> during a Wednesday earnings call. \u201cAt the same time, we are increasingly seeing the gaps between on-the-shelf AI tools and the real-world problems our customers are trying to solve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fiverr\u2019s freelancers \u201care filling the critical first- and last-mile gaps for our customers\u201d by setting up AI systems, choosing the most efficient AI models or simply debugging the issues the customer encounters, Kaufman said in the remarks.<\/p>\n

He expanded on the topic during a question-and-answer portion of the call, saying Fiverr\u2019s freelancers are typically ahead of full-time workers in embracing new technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of them are what we call AI native,\u201d he said on the call. \u201cAnd we\u2019re seeing how they\u2019re actually elevating the outputs of their work in an incredible way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kaufman also tied the company\u2019s AI efforts into Fiverr\u2019s marketplace business<\/a>, which showed a 2% dip in revenue for the quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we think about the market-based business \u2026 we believe that the efforts that we\u2019re doing around AI and upmarket will allow us to turn to growth even in the current macro,\u201d he told analysts during the call. \u201cBut given the macro uncertainty<\/a>, we don\u2019t think that we\u2019re ready to bake this into guidance yet. As we said a number of times before \u2026 the fact that we\u2019re going up market and actually acquiring high-value buyers by definition lowers our exposure to the segments of the buyers that are mostly affected by macroeconomical conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

PYMNTS Intelligence research into AI in the workplace has shown that while generative AI<\/a> is enhancing productivity in a range of industries, many of the routine jobs it performs need human input and review.<\/p>\n

In goods and services companies, for example, human oversight was needed for these tasks 60% to 100% of the time. Even more mundane functions, such as assisting employees or generating summaries of emails and reports, still required human supervision for 50% to 100% of situations, depending on the industry.<\/p>\n
