• Documentation can be a productivity killer, and many developers do not enjoy doing it. • Developing and testing new product ideas can take months or even years to determine market demand. How Software Development is Changing With New Generative AI Tools Generative AI (Gen AI) tools are transforming the way developers code. Just in the last few months, new tools and features have been announced almost every week. According to recent data from GitHub Co-pilot, engineers are coding 55% faster and experiencing 75% more fulfillment with the help of Generative AI tools. Feedback from engineers who have used AI for coding suggests that it can even be enjoyable, a noteworthy aspect of AI that is often overlooked. Popular Gen AI Tools Some of the tools for software development are: • Co-pilot by GitHub/Microsoft. • ChatGPT by OpenAI. • Ghostwriter by Replit. Top Use Cases Some of the top use cases are: • Inline code suggestions can be made while coding using Generative AI tools. • Documentation and test cases can be automatically generated by these tools. • The tools can also explain what the code does. • Code can be improved and simplified with the help of Generative AI. • The tools can even translate code from one programming language to another. Examples Some examples of use cases for using Generative AI tools in software development are: 1. Generative AI tools like Github Co-pilot are being used to suggest entire blocks of code, transforming the way developers write code and speeding up the coding process. 2. Using ChatGPT to translate code from one language to another can save developers significant amounts of time and effort, especially when working with multiple programming languages. ChatGPT's natural language processing capabilities can help ensure that the code is accurately translated, reducing the risk of errors, and improving efficiency. 3. Replit, in combination with the Codex model, can automatically explain what code does in natural language. This feature can save time and improve understanding for developers who are working with complex code. Gen AI: Revolutionizing the Way Enterprises Work 15
