AI Power Tools for Development Teams

Transform Your Team's AI Capability

For many development teams, AI has become the elephant in the room. You know you should be using it, the C-suite wants to know that you're using it, and the guy who runs chrome alpha versions is using it, but early dabbling has had mixed results. How to integrate AI effectively while maintaining code quality and technical governance?

"Today, more than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI" — Sundar Pichai, Google CEO

Make no mistake, Sundar is 'talking his bag'. On the other hand, coding evaluation benchmarks prove AI is capable of iteratively generating production-ready code and is now a tool every team should be using. The key is not to expect 'one-shot' success, but rather to adopt an iterative workflow with planning and review stages.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT WILL ALL BECOME SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

What Outcomes can you Expect?

• Accelerated Development: Learn proven workflows that combine AI's speed with human expertise to significantly reduce development time while maintaining code quality.
• Strategic AI Integration: Develop a clear roadmap for incorporating the AI tools across your development lifecycle, from planning to testing and deployment.
• Quality Assurance: Implement effective review processes and guardrails for AI-generated code to ensure it meets your quality standards and integrates seamlessly with your codebase.
• Product Differentiation: Identify and implement AI-powered features that give your products a competitive edge. From intelligent search to natural language interfaces, learn which AI capabilities offer the best return on investment for your specific products.
• Low Marginal Cost Opportunities:With AI, a bunch of tasks that can be performed with low to zero cost that might otherwise be skipped for other resourcing priorities. Tests, documentation, diagramming, are example tasks that might not pass cost/benefit analysis but now can be selectively done at low cost.
• Knowledge:Perhaps the most unsung benefit of AI is as in a learning assistant. AI can help you learn a new codebase, a new language, or a new framework with infinite patience and superfast feedback cycles.
• Enhanced Products: AI offers new 'off-the-shelf' opportunities to enhance your products and services. These can be used to differentiate your offering from competitors before they do the same. These opportunities are too lengthy to listen here but at the very least text and speech interfaces are of direct benefit to almost all sophisticated software products.
