Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming software development (SD) by streamlining repetitive tasks, boosting productivity, and cutting down overtime. This paper examines how AI tools support developers, analyzing their influence on SD processes and reducing overtime by automating tasks in SD. A semi-structured interview was conducted with 20 software professionals, including developers, team leads, managers, and architects. The findings reveal that despite many lack of accuracy concerns, participants widely use AI tools in various phases of SD, such as coding or testing. The majority of respondents agreed the use of AI instruments helped in reducing overtime in SD.
