Coding assistants and developer-agent pilots
Woowa Brothers shifted toward smaller AI experiments after Copilot delivered limited productivity gains
Problem
Developers initially liked Copilot, but testing and code-review bottlenecks remained. A technology director said productivity gains had been small.
Approach
Woowa Brothers moved to repeated small proofs of concept. Hackathon teams built an agent that analyzed Slack error alerts and could create Jira tickets, alongside a code-review assistant. Some agents entered team trials.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
Developer satisfaction with a coding tool did not establish that it removed delivery bottlenecks. The company had not quantified results from its newer agents.
