We’ve finalised our AI usage policy and are moving from ad-hoc adoption to systematic implementation. For those of you already providing AI tools to our embedded developers – thank you for leading the way. We’re now scaling this across all teams.
Timeline for Implementation
June: All developers received access to Copilot, Windsurf, or Cursor. We ran competitive coding challenges to rapidly upskill and identify best practices. We’ve integrated training on maintaining IP protection and data confidentiality when using AI coding assistants on a codebase into our practices.
Our prompt engineering templates and knowledge sharing systems are live. We expect this to standardise the efficiency gains we’ve been seeing in pilot usage.
July: Full deployment across non-dev teams, pilot projects to benchmark velocity improvements, and an integration-focused hackathon. We hope to have concrete metrics to share on productivity gains.
The Future Is Moving Fast
The technical landscape is shifting fast. We know some of you are ahead of us here, but we’re committed to keeping on top of emerging best practices and tools so our developers can continue to deliver value to your team.
If you have any questions or just want to talk about the future of developing software products don’t hesitate to get in touch.
