[Virtual] PRO Session: How Can Engineering Leaders Measure the Impact of GenAI

Thursday February 20, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST

VIRTUAL AI DevWorld Main Stage

Yishai Beeri, LinearB, CTO

Generative AI has taken the world by storm since its general availability to the public in early 2023. Going from novel technology to commodity in months, this disruptive technology quickly found applications in the software development world - and many engineering organizations are trying to capitalize on the disruptive technology.

Nearly every engineering organization has adopted, or is thinking about adopting GenAI as a tool for developers. It has become wildly popular for everything from generating code, to writing and deploying tests, pull request reviews, experimentation and PoCs and much more. But who checks the machines?

In this talk I'll dive into the actual measurable outcomes - positive and negative - of adopting GenAI in engineering organizations. While engineering leaders rapidly jumped on the GenAI bandwagon, many are still struggling to quantify its value, not to mention manage its risks. This talk will discuss how and what to measure to understand adoption, quantify benefits and control risks in your initiative to leverage AI in your engineering organization. Join us to learn about the specific metrics you should be monitoring to ensure maximizing ROI on your GenAI engineering org initiatives.

VIRTUAL AI DevWorld Stage

Jothimani kanthan Ganapathi, Intuit, Principal Engineer
Anish Dhason, Intuit, Group Product Manager

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.

Join us to discover how Intuit is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in modern software development, driving both innovation and efficiency using GenAI
