New AI-Centric SDLC: Rethinking Software Development with Knowledge Graphs

July 11, 2025 15:40 – 16:10 · 30 min Stage 1

What this session covers

In the 2010s, test automation with tools like Selenium sped up QA cycles—but why stop there? By blending an automation-first mindset with AI capabilities, we discovered ways to streamline every phase of the SDLC.

In this keynote, we’ll present 3 real-world initiatives:

Figma to Email: How we converted a human-intensive process into software, reducing labor costs while improving governance and quality.

Codewrap: Our initial foray with AI—attempting to migrate a massive Drupal PHP repository to React using AI-generated requirements.

Knowledge Graphs: How we realized that code can be represented as a graph, and our journey building a “dream combo” of Knowledge Graph + LLM for AI-driven software engineering.

We’ll also unveil our new SDLC framework, designed to free teams to tackle higher-level challenges. Expect honest insights on what worked, what didn’t, and how we navigated AI constraints. Walk away ready to supercharge your development processes and embrace an AI-led SDLC.
