AI in Software Delivery beyond Copilot: reimagining software delivery

About this presentation

GenAI is transforming the way we build software, but code generation tools like Copilot are just the tip of the iceberg. Software delivery is much more than writing code—it encompasses planning, design, testing, deployment, and continuous improvement. The real opportunity lies in applying AI across the entire software delivery lifecycle to unlock greater efficiency, enhance collaboration, and drive innovation. At Thoughtworks, we’ve spent the past year exploring how to take an AI-first approach to software delivery. Through hands-on experiments, we’ve discovered if the bold claims are fact or fiction, uncovered what works (& what doesn’t), and identified where untapped potential lies. In this session, we’ll share up-to-date real-world insights, practical strategies, and our vision for a future where AI is seamlessly integrated into every stage of delivery—not just for developers, but for product teams, designers, and operations. You’ll leave with a clear-eyed view of what’s real and what’s hype in AI for software delivery—plus practical, actionable strategies to move beyond code generation and start using AI to innovate faster, smarter, and across your entire SDLC.
