Crowdbotics (dba. CoreStory) continues to deliver on our vision of offering a new AI-powered approach to software development. While most of the attention so far in our industry has been paid to token-based code prediction tools for software generation, Crowdbotics takes a fundamentally different approach with CodeOps, our AI-based approach that accelerates app development with systematic code reuse. It is a different and better way to use AI to build software.
Systems that use token-based models to measure consumption are not the right place to start with AI-driven development; the Crowdbotics CodeOps platform takes a different approach, leaving developers with complete control.
Crowdbotics’ use of AI helps teams plan applications and write requirements, then matches them with existing code, APIs, architectures and other components to fulfill said requirements. We counsel that you use AI to plan requirements based on apps that are similar. We used a large crowdsourced database to stand up a first-of-its-kind model for writing requirements: product requirements document (PRD) AI. Once you know your requirements, you can write code more powerfully with AI. You can use AI to select or create prewritten modules / blocks of code that satisfy your requirements.
The platform was designed this way because it mirrors how real software engineers write — any engineer will tell you that coding is the easiest part of a software project. The hardest thing to get right is knowing and understanding what you’re trying to build and how you will get there.
This is what Crowdbotics does. We use AI to improve the human experience, not diminish it. And this philosophy has resonated with some of the world’s largest and most innovative organizations, including Microsoft.
To that end, we are proud to announce a new strategic collaboration with Microsoft. This collaboration combines Microsoft’s leadership in cloud services and AI with Crowdbotics’ leadership in CodeOps. The ultimate goal of the collaboration is to help customers dramatically boost speed and efficiency when building new enterprise-grade applications for Azure.
There is a “latent demand” for applications within organizations, and this collaboration addresses it by helping teams write requirements and attain consensus on what to build. Crowdbotics can recommend and install Azure services and components so teams can stand up and deploy applications directly into GitHub and Azure using AI, even for complex applications. The collaboration will allow customers with Azure commitments to spend them to generate code directly using Crowdbotics.
The Crowdbotics approach – using AI to eliminate the toil of rebuilding code that already exists – means that your team’s creativity and innovation can be unlocked. CodeOps not only improves your team’s productivity and speed, it also helps it deliver innovation, quality and impact of the apps they build to the next level. Using AI to replace everything related to software development is sci-fi fantasy clickbait (at least for now). Thoughtfully applying AI to solve the problems that today it’s ideally suited to solve – that’s the Crowdbotics way.
This is a better approach for two reasons. First, it accommodates your organization’s unique requirements. For example, a U.S. government agency may have essential context on how it needs to build apps. In this case, Crowdbotics can fine-tune outputs based on that known context so the requirements specifically match the organization’s needs, ultimately giving IT full control and visibility into what’s being built.
Second, it allows business teams and developers to interactively plan and launch complex, mission-critical products using AI. It’s a new and much more efficient way to build software.
Inside the Award-Winning Crowdbotics CodeOps Platform
In a software development landscape where speed and cost-efficiency reign supreme, Crowdbotics’ CodeOps platform is a pioneer. The innovative framework revolutionizes software development by delivering on the promise of code reuse at scale—significantly reducing time to market, cost and risk. Breaking down barriers to adoption, the Crowdbotics platform eschews a walled garden approach and works seamlessly with all of your investments in development, infrastructure, DevSecOps and architecture. Crowdbotics’ CodeOps mission is clear: make your team more successful by accelerating application delivery through systemic code reuse.
With CodeOps, organizations benefit by:
- Empowering agile development. CodeOps recognizes that up to 70% of application code has been previously written by somebody somewhere. This new approach strategically utilizes AI to define project specifications and identify reusable code modules. Developers can focus on the remaining code that needs to be written—the new, differentiating features—to swiftly create applications without reinventing the wheel, fostering rapid innovation and quicker market entry.
- Integrating full-code. The Crowdbotics platform is full-code, supporting various languages, frameworks and architectures, and seamlessly integrates with existing DevOps stacks. It allows developers to work within familiar security and compliance guidelines to ensure auditable source code. The system generates high-quality, customizable source code that meets users’ specific use case requirements. Teams use their development tool of choice to build modules and complete applications that have been pre-assembled with reusable modules.
- Building secure apps. Organizations use the Crowdbotics platform to generate product requirements documents (PRDs) with the assistance of AI. The platform is then used to rapidly assemble applications from curated catalogs of code modules. As these modules have been tested, audited, secured, and certified, the laborious process of individually testing each application is vastly reduced. Companies can write once, test once, and reuse forever while ensuring their applications are secure.
- Filling the gaps. While traditional low- and no-code platforms lure businesses with ease of use, they lack direct access to the underlying codebase and governance. Crowdbotics addresses this gap with its full-code approach, accelerating app development by enhancing developers’ efficiency while maintaining IT governance.
- Propelling innovation. Organizations challenged by conventional app development’s high cost and sluggish pace are turning to CodeOps as a beacon of innovation. Ultimately, the Crowdbotics platform accelerates app development, improves accessibility for non-developers, and drives efficiency for developers—all while ensuring strong IT governance.
By delivering on the promise of systematic code reuse and now leveraging the expertise of an industry leader like Microsoft, the Crowdbotics CodeOps platform is uniquely positioned to accelerate time to value and reduce risk for enterprise application development.
It’s not about creating an autonomous software engineer to replace human developers; it’s about valuing the creativity of organizations’ existing teams and empowering them to build the most innovative products on the market.
