Transforming Engineering with AI: Building a Developer Assistant
As an engineer leading a dynamic two-member team, we harness the power of AI through tools like Cursor and Claude Code. Over the past six months, we’ve developed 6+ apps, revealing that:
- AI excels at small coding tasks but struggles with more complex challenges.
- Our workflow involves breaking tasks into manageable parts and managing AI output systematically.
However, the current manner of waiting and verifying AI’s progress can stifle productivity. That’s why I’m envisioning an AI developer assistant integrated with Slack, Discord, and mobile platforms. This tool would allow developers to assign tasks effortlessly, enabling:
- Seamless task management using trusted AI tools.
- Automated pull request generation during off-hours.
- Enhanced team visibility without constant monitoring.
Questions for You:
- Would this be beneficial for your team?
- What hesitations do you have about trusting an AI assistant like this?
Your insights are invaluable! Let’s collaborate and shape the future of AI in development together. Share your thoughts below!
