Intuit, a global leader in financial software, is revolutionizing the industry by integrating Generative AI (GenAI) across its entire product portfolio, including TurboTax, QuickBooks, Mailchimp, and CreditKarma. By embedding GenAI into critical aspects of the development life cycle—such as code generation, review, and test creation—Intuit is driving innovation, enhancing productivity, and delivering smarter, more efficient experiences for both developers and customers alike.

This presentation explores how Intuit is revolutionizing the software development lifecycle by leveraging Generative AI (GenAI) to accelerate application development, enhance developer productivity, and streamline complex coding tasks. A key focus will be on how Intuit has implemented secure and scalable methods to integrate Intuit-specific knowledge into the context of GenAI-assisted developer tools. Through real-world case studies, we will demonstrate how AI-powered developer assistants are automating code generation for Intuit-specific APIs, commonly used libraries, and unit test creation, leading to a 25% reduction in task completion times with AI-driven tools.
