AI Flow Talks tells real stories from the world of AI to make AI transformation easier for organizations. The first episode (in Finnish) delves into the practices and impacts of AI-enhanced software development with Fluentia's AI Director Tomi Leppälahti and Lastbot's CTO Pasi Vuorio .
How should companies change their processes and operating models with AI-powered software development? And what kind of efficiency gains and competitive advantage can it bring when an organisation takes the bold step to holistically exploit new technologies? Dive into the discussion!
Pasi Vuorio has trained hundreds of developers and organisations in AI-driven software development. The discussion reveals that while enthusiasm for AI tools is growing, the uptake varies widely. Often, change is met with initial scepticism: fears that work will become less important or that AI tools will be a threat to professional identity. Pasi stresses that enthusiasm is best generated through successes and practical examples.
During the episode, we will discuss how AI can, at best, even multiply the efficiency of software development. At the same time, it will be highlighted that the benefits will only be realized if the whole development process – from testing to spec to teamwork – is adapted to a faster cycle. Applying agile methods in the age of AI requires new ways of thinking, such as operating in two-day sprints and agile experimentation before final designs emerge.
The modernization of legacy systems is a topic of particular interest. Pasi and Tomi discuss how AI can help refactor and rewrite legacy systems. This opens up the possibility of efficiently solving technical debts that have accumulated over decades – even if comprehensive documentation is lacking.
The podcast highlights that AI-driven development is not just about technical change – it's also about culture, processes and continuous learning. Pasi and Tomi see education as playing an important role in supporting this change. The excitement comes when developers see in concrete terms what AI can do to help and accelerate.
