If you scroll down it also says 60% of the code is automated. Both percentages are essentially meaningless. If you require customers to type all their requirements into a static web based form does that also count as 80% automated information gathering? If 60% of an application is templated components does that mean code generation is 60% automated?

It's meaningless, and I suspect intentionally so. It clearly implies that they were doing things in a more advanced way than a standard Indian outsourcing firm, an implication heightened by hiring people to build impressive tech demos. But the impressive tech demos and the work on real client projects were two entirely separate things.



I agree, it's confusing. It looks like marketing was throwing numbers around without really explaining what they meant.

Automation is definitely not AI. Maybe the 60% referred to reusable code, or a theme, or a template that was handed off to the developers?

Either way, 60% feels like a random number.


Small correction: automation combined with machine learning is considered AI.

So the 60% was probably referring to the amount of code (templates, components, etc) they were reusing.
