[Panel] How to Integrate AI-Generated Code Seamlessly into Existing Codebases
This roundtable explores practical strategies for integrating AI-generated code into existing codebases. Experts from Grit and Unblocked will discuss code quality, architectural alignment, and team workflows. Gain insights on adopting AI-driven solutions without compromising development standards.
Using AI to Solve Real Problems for Development Teams
For all the claims about AI increasing developer productivity, why aren’t developers seeing more of an impact? What we’ve heard from thousands of developers is that writing code isn’t the hard part. The real challenge is Step #1—figuring out how the codebase works so they know what code to write. Codebases are built on years of decisions, discussions, and documents scattered across tools like GitHub, Confluence, Slack, Notion, Jira, and more. Whether a developer is onboarding or working with unfamiliar code, they waste time searching for answers—only to end up asking a co-worker anyway. If we want AI to actually save us time, we need to apply it where developers get stuck: finding the right context. Tools like Unblocked give developers the answers they need directly by augmenting your code with the relevant knowledge. Come see how teams like Drata save 1–2 hours per developer, per day by eliminating these unnecessary interruptions.
