Gen AI & the SDLC: Changing the way we bring digital products to life
summary
PwC says it stood up an AI Factory of roughly 100 people and builds an internal assistant called ChatPWC that plugs into Jira/ADO and Amazon Bedrock, uses RAG with vector stores and embeddings, and already serves tens of thousands during pilot phases across 75,000 US staff (300,000 global). Teams report faster backlog generation, multi‑doc Q&A and auto test case drafts, plus CodeWhisperer for code suggestions, but leaders warn of hallucinations and skill erosion and stress governance, synthetic data, and human‑in‑the‑loop checks.
