Upwork cut its full-year revenue outlook to $730 million to $750 million from $760 million to $790 million. At the same time, customers are spending more on larger projects, AI consulting is growing, and enterprises are tapping Upwork for work beyond traditional freelance engagements. President and CEO Hayden Brown told analysts that “the trend we saw this quarter is really a continuation of last quarter.” Even the way Upwork measures AI work is changing. Brown told analysts clients increasingly assume AI will be used without spelling it out in a job description.
