How to leverage AI in software engineering
The future looks promising!
Because its the time more and more organisations understand the advanced technologies out and trying to leverage them to make their processes and work efficiently.
For example, last week, one of my customers came with a requirement for replacing their card-based attendance management & monitoring system to a face recognition based automation system. Based on the solution we developed, the students need not even use an app; it will automatically recognise the students and mark their attendance. Working on another prototype which listens to what the doctor says to the patient and adds those details to the patient’s digital records as text format. What a great time to live!
Anyone can develop apps these days, but the moment you decide to take some challenges & work on technologies like these, the impact goes to the next level and the result you can bring becomes limitless.
AI-driven software development focuses on tools and techniques for embedding AI into apps and using AI to automate processes and make intelligent decisions that make life easier.
The AI trend is evolving software engineering in two aspects:
- Companies are using AI frameworks and platforms, that can directly infuse AI-powered capabilities into an application without the help of any AI Engineer/ data scientist.
- Ready-to-use AI solutions which will empower companies to increase their productivity, reduce costs, and automate tasks.
So how can we leverage them more?
- Think from a perspective of “what can you automate?”
Every software usually has a set of process that can be automated/ simplified. For example, a set of actions or workflow which happens after a particular action may be easy to be done via code. There may be something which user manually enters by themselves or fill a form to get some results which might be easy if the system automatically identifies the user and shows the result.
If it is a huge plus if automated, think what solution you can use to automate that process. There will certainly be a technology you can use to automate it.
- Use pre-built solutions that can be re-used.
There are a lot of Python open-source libraries, even services by AWS/ Google/ Microsoft which can be easily integrated to any platform. We use many open source and cloud-based services which ease the process of bringing intelligence and automation to a platform.
- Collaborate with an AI expert to make your user’s life easier.
There are AI/ ML consulting companies who collaborate with custom software development companies to provide solutions to ease the user life and bring more value to the customer. They can easily see your product and propose solutions that can integrate intelligence into your products and automate processes.
That’s how we can leverage the latest technologies to bring positive business results.
