ai assisted development

The ai assisted development archive follows reported efforts to use generative AI to build in-house enterprise software. Its current coverage focuses on Starbucks’ plan to develop replacements for Microsoft’s inventory-management system and IBM’s maintenance platform by the end of 2027. The project is presented as a test of whether AI can reduce software spending and modernize store operations, with Starbucks targeting about $400 million in annual savings. It also raises questions about how successful internal development could affect application-level business for major software vendors, even if cloud and AI infrastructure use continues.
