In partnership with
AI agents now read your docs almost as much as humans do.
Mintlify analyzed 790 million requests across its documentation platform. The finding: AI coding agents account for 45.3% of all traffic, nearly tied with traditional browsers at 45.8%.
Two tools are driving almost all of it:
Claude Code: 25.2% of total traffic, more requests than Chrome on Windows
Cursor: 18% of total traffic
Together they account for 95.6% of all identified AI agent traffic
The rest of the field, OpenCode, Trae, ChatGPT, and NotebookLM, is showing up but nowhere close.
One caveat: OpenAI's Codex doesn't send an identifiable user-agent header, so the real agent percentage is likely even higher.
The takeaway for anyone maintaining developer docs: your documentation now serves two audiences. Structure and machine-readability matter as much as clarity for human readers.

Mandate Meets Mamata’s Mutiny: In A First, Sitting CM Refuses To Resign After Poll Loss
The Fact: Hours after the BJP ended her 15-year rule in West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee claimed that the election was ‘stolen’. She alleged 100 seats were ‘looted’ by the BJP and called the election a ‘murder of democracy’. In an unprecedented move, she announced that she will not tender her resignation to the Governor as per convention.
The Context: Mamata Banerjee claimed she was leading in Bhabanipur by 30,000 votes in the initial rounds. She also alleged that when she and her party workers reached the counting centre, they were assaulted. Under Article 164 of the Constitution, a Chief Minister holds office at the pleasure of the Governor, which is contingent on majority support in the Assembly. With the Trinamool Congress falling short of the numbers, her continuation in office becomes constitutionally untenable. With the BJP now crossing the majority mark, Banerjee would be constitutionally bound to step down. If there is any attempt to delay or disrupt the formation of a new government, the Governor can recommend President’s Rule under Article 356, placing the state under direct control of the Centre. However, in this case the assembly itself will be dissolved on May 7, when the government’s tenure expires.
The Peek Insight: Refusing to resign in such a situation is constitutionally difficult to defend. It gives both the BJP and the Governor clear legal ground to act, including the possibility of invoking Article 356 and recommending President’s Rule. Politically, it risks backfiring. The focus shifts from alleged electoral malpractice to questions around her own adherence to constitutional norms. At the same time, this episode also reflects a broader institutional concern. When a principal stakeholder openly questions the credibility of the process, it points to a failure on the part of the Election Commission of India to command the trust and confidence of all major players in the fray - something essential for the legitimacy of any electoral outcome. There are, however, established legal remedies available. Banerjee can challenge the results through an election petition in courts, where Indian law provides for scrutiny on grounds of malpractice. She also has the option of approaching the Supreme Court to contest the constitutional validity of the SIR, a route she has taken in the past.
No ‘SIR’Prise Sweep: Peek Analysis Shows SIR Deletions Not Behind BJP’s Bengal Win
The Fact: Mamata Banerjee and Rahul Gandhi have alleged that the May 4 election results were rigged, pointing to the state-wide SIR exercise and claiming large-scale deletion of genuine voters. However, a Peek TV analysis of the election data suggests otherwise: even if all deleted voters had been able to cast their ballots, the BJP would still have crossed the majority mark.
The Context: Out of 207 seats won by the BJP, their winning margin was less than the number of deleted voters only in 26 constituencies. So, even in the best-case scenario for the TMC, the BJP would still retain a majority with 181 seats. That is well above the 148-seat majority mark. As per reports, 91 lakh voters were deleted after the SIR process. This includes 27 lakh voters whose applications were still under review. The analysis shows that voter deletions were more than the winning margin in a total of 49 seats in Bengal, while 26 of these went to the BJP, 21 went to the TMC as well.
The Peek Insight: While our analysis challenges the claim that voter deletions alone “swayed” the election outcome, it does not dismiss concerns about electoral fairness. The macro result of who forms government may not have changed. But the micro impact of who wins individual constituencies could have been significant in dozens of seats. The Opposition is justified in questioning the timing of the SIR so close to a crucial election. However, that alone cannot become a substitute for introspection. A democracy needs a strong opposition. But it also needs one that meaningfully engages with the public rather than relying on performative politics. If the opposition begins to mirror the rhetoric of those it seeks to challenge, similar electoral outcomes may well repeat in the future.
Saffron Tsunami, Democratic Drought?: Regional Titans Tumble Across India
The Fact: On May 4, the political landscape across India underwent a big change. In West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee faced a historic double defeat. She lost the state to the BJP and her own Bhabanipur seat to Suvendu Adhikari. A similar change occurred in Tamil Nadu. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin lost both his state and his Kolathur seat to the TVK, which was formed just two years ago. In Kerala, the LDF, the only left-wing party ruling in India, was unseated by the UDF.
The Context: The decline of the regional opposition satraps didn't start with this election. Two years ago, in Odisha, the BJP ended the Biju Janata Dal’s 24-year rule. While in Bihar, Nitish Kumar returned to the NDA, relegating the RJD to the opposition. Even the JDU is now a junior partner in the Bihar alliance, with the BJP installing its own Chief Minister in the state. Even in Telangana, the state’s founding party, the BRS, also lost power to the Congress in 2023. The same story has been repeated in Maharashtra and Delhi. The opposition, primarily the Congress, has been losing its organizational grip since 2014. At the same time, regional parties have struggled to counter the BJP’s "Nationalism + Welfare" narrative.
The Peek Insight: India’s political DNA has long been shaped by its diversity, regional leaders acting as both cultural representatives and federal counterweights. The weakening of figures like Mamata Banerjee, M. K. Stalin, and Arvind Kejriwal signals a shift in the balance of Indian federalism. A more bipolar system may bring clarity and speed in governance. But it also risks reducing the granularity of representation. National narratives can begin to overshadow state-specific needs, and policy may tilt toward uniformity over nuance. Crucially, when regional parties decline, and the opposition space consolidates around a single national party, the contest becomes less about diverse voices and more about centralised narratives. For a country as vast and varied as India, that comes with trade-offs.
‘Safe’ To Sunk In 60 Days: Bihar’s Lifeline Bridge Collapses Into The Ganga
The Fact: A section of the Vikramshila Setu in Bhagalpur, Bihar, collapsed on Monday. The bridge constructed over the river Ganga was split into two parts. The incident occurred at around. No injuries have been reported. The bridge was reportedly constructed at a whopping 838 crore rupees.
The Context: The Vikramshila Bridge was pivotal as it connected Bhagalpur in Southern Bihar to Naugachia in Northern Bihar. It joined the Seemanchal-Kosi belt with the rest of the state. The incident took place at 1:07 am, but officials had noticed a pillar submerging into the riverbed at 11:30 pm and had issued a cautionary warning in advance. After the initial sinking of Pillar number 133 at 11:55 pm, the situation visibly deteriorated. It was already leaning at a critically low angle. Soon after a crack was spotted on the bridge, a 25-metre slab found itself in the water, causing major damage to the 4.7-km-long bridge. Allegedly, in March, slight wear and tear on the bridge had already been brought to the attention of the district administration. But no action was taken. This destruction joins the endless list of other bridges that have collapsed in the state in the last few years. Back in March 2024, a Rs 1,200 crore bridge in Supaul fell. 2024 also saw a series of 12 collapses in a month. A year before that, another bridge constructed for Rs 1,710 in Bhagalpur itself had collapsed.
The Peek Insight: The fact that the administration had received complaints about the bridge earlier suggests negligence on their part. There have been many instances of structural failure and the lack of maintenance of bridges across India, and that’s precisely why immediate action should have been taken after structural damage was first reported. The collapse of a suspension bridge in Morbi, Gujarat, killed 135 people. Similar events unfolded in Kolkata with the Majerhat bridge in 2018 and the Vivekananda flyover in 2016. Both these incidents resulted in 3 and 26 deaths, respectively. In 2019, Mumbai witnessed 6 deaths as a footbridge caved in near CSM Terminus. The collapse of a lifeline bridge like the one in Bihar and many other such bridges across the country reflects the most striking infrastructure failure on the part of authorities.
Peace Promise Broken: Iran Strikes UAE Oil Facility, India Calls It Unacceptable
The Fact: Iran launched a barrage of missiles and drones at the UAE on Monday. The UAE Ministry of Defence reported intercepting 12 ballistic missiles, three cruise missiles, and four drones. One drone evaded air defences and struck the Fujairah Petroleum Industries Zone, igniting a major fire at the oil facility and injuring three Indian nationals working at the site. US President Trump later claimed seven boats were destroyed and stated that no US assets had been damaged, except a South Korean cargo vessel.
The Context: Monday's violence erupted after Washington's launch of "Project Freedom". Iran's military had previously warned that any passage in the Strait Of Hormuz without Iranian clearance would be treated as a hostile act. Tehran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, called this initiative "Project Deadlock" and suggested that unnamed "ill-wishers" were pulling both the US and UAE back into conflict. The Indian Embassy in the UAE confirmed it is coordinating with local authorities for the welfare of the injured nationals.
The Peek Insight: Monday’s strikes expose a core flaw in the ceasefire architecture. With Iran’s nuclear programme and Hormuz sovereignty still unresolved, both sides retain strong incentives to test limits. At the same time, President Trump is set to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing next week. In this entire scenario, Beijing maintains strategic ambiguity. It has been urging diplomacy while continuing Iranian energy purchases despite US sanctions. Further escalation could jeopardise the meeting. But if it proceeds, Xi holds leverage to either restrain Iran or use its position as a bargaining tool.
