When Cloud Services adopted agentic coding assistants, we got the productivity boost everyone promises — and an immediate problem nobody talks about: code reviews became the bottleneck.
That pressure led us to build CRAB, an AI-driven code review bot now running across all ~120 of our repos. But solving one bottleneck revealed a repeatable pattern. We applied the same approach to security compliance — turning policies scattered across four locations into automated, auditable artifacts — and to documentation-as-code, eliminating double-maintenance while giving our AI tools the full context they need.
This talk walks through the journey from that first pain point to a suite of AI-augmented workflows, organized around the three things every team cares about: speed, risk, and cost. You'll leave with a practical model for finding your own "what comes next" opportunities.
