How We Bring Development to Light-Speed

Over the last few years, software cycles have dramatically sped up. Software release cycles have shortened by more than half, yet many projects still drag on due to manual reviews, rigid processes, and siloed thinking, which slow down the release pipeline. At the same time, a variety of specialized AI tools are hitting the market: from code co-pilots to generative UI builders and automated test suites. Ignoring these tools could lead to slow Time-to-Market and, at worst, being surpassed by competitors.

In addition, customer expectations are rising: Users are accustomed to seeing companies roll out new features in a matter of hours. This speed has now become the new standard, influencing industries across the board.

The growing talent gap is another critical factor: Thousands of IT specialists are currently missing. AI helps bridge this gap by taking over repetitive tasks and freeing up more time for higher-value, strategic work.

Companies are also under increasing budget pressure. With rising interest rates and volatile markets, businesses need to prove ROI faster. In this environment, Time-to-Value beats Feature Creep. With Creative Engineering and AI, we achieve exactly that: faster, value-driven work.

In practice, we offer a range of AI-powered tools that can be integrated at various stages of the software development process. These tools provide significant time savings and ensure that you can work faster and more efficiently. Here’s an overview of how our AI extensions compare to conventional methods:

• Ideation & Scope:
  Conventional: Workshops and whiteboarding sessions are used to develop ideas and determine the direction of the project.
  Our AI Extension: GPT-powered generators deliver a wide variety of use cases in a short amount of time, all linked with meaningful forecasts for key performance indicators (KPIs). This accelerates the ideation process significantly.

• UX/UI:
  Conventional: Design teams typically use tools like Sketch or Figma to create mockups and visually represent the user experience.
  Our AI Extension: With our AI-powered solution, design prototypes are quickly generated based on prompts. The process, from concept to clickable prototype, is reduced to a fraction of the time.

• Coding:
  Conventional: Developers work manually in pair-programming setups to write and review code.
  Our AI Extension: AI-powered tools like code co-pilots and linter-bots automate many aspects of coding by eliminating boilerplate code and ensuring code quality through automated checks.

• Testing:
  Conventional: Developers write unit and integration tests and execute them manually.
  Our AI Extension: An autonomous test agent handles the creation and continuous updating of test suites, allowing developers to focus on more complex tasks while quality assurance runs in the background.

• Deployment:
  Conventional: The deployment process is often manual or handled through fixed pipelines that need constant review.
  Our AI Extension: By using machine learning models for drift detection, we optimize the deployment process and proactively prevent rollback issues.

Spotlight: Custom GPT Copilots
A standout feature of our toolbox is the development of custom GPT models trained on your API documentation, style guides, and security policies. This enables 24/7 code reviews that are context-sensitive and GDPR-compliant, without any risk of leaking confidential data.

AI is the turbo, but without human creativity, it lacks the “wow factor.” Our Creative Engineering philosophy is built on three principles:

• Intention > Iteration: 

  AI provides variations, but humans choose the most strategically powerful approach.

• Story > Syntax: 

  Code can be perfect but still fail to deliver. We anchor features in brand stories.

   

• Ethics > Ego: 

  We implement bias checks, GDPR compliance, and sustainability goals – we take responsibility for what we automate.

This combination of technology and human expertise creates software that doesn’t just work – it delights.
