Claude coding assistant for the engineering organization
Palo Alto Networks' developers shipped features 20-30% faster after adding a Claude coding assistant
Problem
Palo Alto Networks' developers spent 30-35% of their time on initial development, where costly bugs often start. New developers also needed months to learn the products.
Approach
The company used Claude models on Google Cloud inside the developers' IDE for code completion, code chat and explanations. A separate AI step in the CI/CD pipeline renames variables, adds comments and generates unit tests. About 2,500 developers were onboarded, with plans to reach 3,500.
Results
Takeaway
The company aimed the assistant at early development, where developers spend the most time and where bugs are costly to fix later.
