AI-Assisted Development
How we use AI tools in our development process.
AI is now part of how we build software. Not as a replacement for developers, but as a tool that accelerates the work.
The developer still drives. AI assists — writing boilerplate, generating tests, suggesting solutions. The human reviews, guides, and makes the decisions that matter.
How AI Fits Into Each Phase
| Phase | AI Role | Human Role |
|---|---|---|
| Requirements | Generate user stories from conversations | Review and refine |
| Design | Propose UI layouts and architecture | Approve and guide direction |
| Development | Write code, generate boilerplate | Review, handle complex logic |
| Testing | Generate test cases from specifications | Define critical scenarios |
| Documentation | Auto-generate and maintain docs | Review accuracy |
| Debugging | Analyze logs, suggest fixes | Verify and deploy fixes |
The Workflow
1. Human Intent
Describe what to build
→
2. AI Plans
Analyze, break down tasks
→
3. AI Executes
Write code, tests, docs
→
4. AI Validates
Run tests, check quality
→
5. Human Reviews
Approve or iterate
Loop back if changes needed
Human Checkpoints
AI can do a lot, but some things require human judgment. These always need human review:
Production deployments
Security-sensitive code
Payment and financial logic
Data migrations
Third-party API contracts
Architecture decisions
AI assists. Humans decide. The combination is faster than either alone.
