WAAAP AI-assisted software development platform
Osaka Gas reported development times up to about 60% shorter with WAAAP
Problem
Building production systems required work beyond generating code, including testing and operational safeguards. Osaka Gas sought to bring more development in-house.
Approach
Osaka Gas built WAAAP to support development from requirements through operation. It combined AI assistance with automated delivery and quality gates, using Gemini Enterprise for some functions. The company used it to develop EnergyBrain and AI for estimating moisture content and other properties in manufacturing processes.
Results
Takeaway
The reported reductions compared WAAAP with conventional outsourced development. They were maximum reductions rather than average results across projects.
