This study explores the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration on employee competencies and performance in startup environments. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 startup employees and analyzed using thematic coding, frequency scoring, and visualized analysis. The findings reveal that AI significantly enhances employee productivity by accelerating task completion, reducing manual workload, and improving workflow efficiency. AI integration also contributes to competency development, particularly in digital literacy, analytical thinking, and adaptive learning. In addition, AI improves employee performance by supporting more accurate decision-making and increasing work effectiveness and output quality. Although initial adaptation challenges were identified, most employees demonstrated progressive adjustment and competency improvement over time. The study confirms that AI functions as a workforce augmentation tool that enhances human capabilities rather than replacing employees. These findings highlight the importance of organizational support and continuous learning to maximize the benefits of AI integration in startup environments.
