After data showed Stack Overflow got just 969 new questions in September 2026 vs. a peak of 207,169/month in March 2014—a 99.5% drop, over half post-ChatGPT—executive pchandrasekar clarified: the public site is one part of the business; complex questions still land there while simple ones go to AI tools. The company launched Stack Overflow for Agents and, having pivoted aggressively to enterprise years ago, recently released Stack Internal—a governed AI context layer producing curated, SME-validated knowledge so AI agents work off accurate information.
