What makes this special is that it is no longer individual developers, but teams of autonomous agents that take on planning, architecture, coding, quality assurance, and documentation.<\/p>\n<p>Such multi-agent teams could change traditional software development roles\u2014while opening up new options for efficiency and speed. According to the article, we are in the midst of a transformation: away from \u201chuman collaboration\u201d and toward \u201cagent collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1031\" data-end=\"1357\">Click here for part 1: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heise.de\/hintergrund\/KI-Agenten-Teil-1-Kuenstliche-Intelligenz-entwickelt-Software-im-Team-10367251.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.heise.de\/hintergrund\/KI-Agenten-Teil-1-Kuenstliche-Intelligenz-entwickelt-Software-im-Team-10367251.html<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1359\" data-end=\"1425\">Part 2: From product development to process optimization<\/h3>\n<p>In the second part, the focus shifts: not only individual products, but the entire production and development pipeline is scrutinized. Agential automation can be used to optimize repetitive processes, accelerate workflows, and deploy resources in a more targeted manner. (This is where our own consulting approach can come into play.)<\/p>\n<p>This means that companies are no longer challenged solely in traditional software development, but must rethink their processes\u2014with AI as an integral part of the development cycle.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1813\" data-end=\"2013\">Click here for part 2: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heise.de\/hintergrund\/KI-Agenten-Teil-2-Von-der-Produktentwicklung-zur-Prozessoptimierung-10392330.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.heise.de\/hintergrund\/KI-Agenten-Teil-2-Von-der-Produktentwicklung-zur-Prozessoptimierung-10392330.html<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2015\" data-end=\"2104\">Part 3: Adaptive Designs \u2014 Combining Efficiency, Quality, and User Centricity<\/h3>\n<p>The third part is all about how software with AI agents can be customized and built efficiently at the same time. Instead of dragging around a bunch of features via feature flags, AI agents go for adaptive designs and variants\u2014meaning they only roll out the features that are actually needed. The goal: maximum user-friendliness with optimal use of resources.<\/p>\n<p>Agents take on tasks such as variant generation, testing, and target group simulation (e.g., via AI persona agents), while humans set the framework and decide which variants are implemented. This creates a balance between automation and human control.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2535\" data-end=\"2874\">Click here for part 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heise.de\/hintergrund\/KI-Agenten-Teil-3-Adaptive-Designs-optimieren-Entwicklung-und-Nutzererlebnis-10507002.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.heise.de\/hintergrund\/KI-Agenten-Teil-3-Adaptive-Designs-optimieren-Entwicklung-und-Nutzererlebnis-10507002.html<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3662\" data-end=\"3697\">Outlook: Where the journey is headed<\/h2>\n<p>As a consulting and development company, we are convinced that AI agents have the potential to fundamentally change the way digital products are created. With our focus on human-centered automation, we are actively involved in this very field.<\/p>\n<p>This series of articles offers an introduction\u2014but it is only the beginning. For us, this means that it is worthwhile to actively consider and implement AI strategies now\u2014not only for individual projects, but for the entire development process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our managing director\u00a0 Thomas has published a three-part series of articles in Heise that addresses the question: How will the use of AI agents change the way software and digital products are developed in the future\u2014and what does that mean for companies, product managers, and developers?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[840,983],"class_list":["post-17935","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry","tag-ai","tag-ki-2"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.centigrade.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/17935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.centigrade.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.centigrade.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.centigrade.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/17935\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17952,"href":"https:\/\/www.centigrade.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/17935\/revisions\/17952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.centigrade.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.centigrade.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
