Accelerated delivery. We use it for intelligent verifiable code generation. It's the same work the senior dev was going to complete anyway, but now they cut out a lot of mundane time intensive parts.

We still have design discussions that drive the backlog items the developers work off with their AI, we don't just assign backlog items to bots.

We have not let loose the SaaS agents that blindly pull from the backlog and open PRs, but we are exploring it carefully with older projects that only require maintenance.

And yes, we also use chore bots that are determinstic for maintainance, but these are more small changes the business needs.

There are in fact changes these agents can make well.
