How we use AI in our own development process
AI supports our developers; it doesn't replace them
AI tools help our team work through repetitive tasks faster and catch certain issues earlier, but every architectural decision, every piece of business logic, and every line of code that reaches you has been reviewed by an experienced software engineer.
Technology supports our developers. It does not replace their judgment.
How agentic development supports the work
- Agents move routine implementation forward, handling structured, repetitive steps so our developers can focus on architecture, business rules, and edge cases.
- Checks happen as changes are made, with agents and automated checks helping flag breakages before they reach production.
- More consistent implementation, with agentic tools helping developers apply coding standards across a project.
This is true across the technologies we work with, ecommerce platforms, custom software, mobile apps, and AI integrations alike.
Want to be hands-on with AI?
Co-Dev gives you a hands-on role in shaping a working prototype with agentic development tools, no coding needed. You can test ideas, change workflows, and see how the software should work while 1902 Software advises on the strategy, best practices, and technical decisions.
The prototype is not the finished product; it is where we settle exactly what to build. We then review what production requires, including authentication, the data model, integrations, security, scaling, and deployment, before engineering, testing, and deploying the full application.
Technical responsibility stays with experienced people throughout. Clients also often come away from a Co-Dev project with practical agentic development skills their own team can keep using.
What doesn't change
- Every solution is reviewed, tested and verified by an experienced software engineer before it reaches you.
- Architecture and technical decisions are made by our developers and architects, not automated.
- Your Project Manager remains your single point of contact, with full accountability for what's delivered.

Commonly asked questions
Does using AI tools mean I get faster delivery or a lower price?
Our three ways of working, Co-Dev, Fixed Price Projects, and Continuous Monthly Development, are built around predictable business value, not internal process detail. With Co-Dev, the prototype and production build each have a fixed price, while shaping help is billed at $80 an hour. Care and Care Plus deliver the kind of ongoing output you’d expect from one experienced developer, backed by a whole team of specialists; Care Ultimate prices every task or group of tasks for your approval; a Fixed Price Project delivers an agreed scope at an agreed price. AI is one of the tools our team uses to work efficiently and maintain quality within those models.
Is my code or data used to train AI models?
We take data confidentiality seriously across every project. If you have specific requirements around data handling or confidentiality, raise them with your Project Manager and we’ll address them directly.
Does AI replace human review on my project?
No. Every solution is reviewed, tested, and verified by an experienced software engineer before it reaches you, regardless of which tools were used to build it.
