Problem the AI is intended to solve
Our government developers lack the capacity and consistency to produce quality code in a timely manner. Our administrative staff facilitate a multitude of processes that require manual intervention. This requires significant overhead and is prone errors and results in simple steps or actions taking longer than necessary as requests get lost in email or other forms of communication. There is also no audit trail or logging outside of a personal email address or limited access shared mailboxes, making it difficult for others to step in a facilitate activities.
Expected benefits
AI Coding Assistants can help identify potential issues with code, help our developers troubleshoot more quickly, and begin complex coding more efficiently. This will also enable a team of developers to build a consistency across resources and a repository of reusable code segments to speed the delivery of new features and functions.
System outputs
In this use case, we can expect higher quality code, reducing errors and defects in working software. Administrative staff will be able to monitor progress vs facilitating it and focus their attention on higher value mission support activities.
