Need for a Paradigm Shift
Despite having millions of developers on their platform, there was a necessity for an ‘order of magnitude jump’ to truly democratize coding.
This led to the exploration of large language models which hold the potential to turn any thought into software.
AI as an Active Collaborator
The application of AI is envisioned not just as a passive listener but as an active collaborator.
