Automated coders have long been the holy grail for AI. The sheer complexity and variety of most software has made this seem like an impossible dream. Recent work with Large Language Models have teased us with the possibility of using their brute force techniques, but so far the results have been disappointing
The Ac28R team have taken a completely different approach to the problem. They first developed a visual specification system that allows a non-tech developer to completely and precisely specify what they want, down to the smallest detail. No logical instructions of any kind are needed.
They then developed a free-standing analytical engine that is able to analyse these specifications, build the software, and then execute it.
The tool already boasts some impressive capabilities that go far beyond today’s Large Language Models. And its bulletproof code means that your software application executes right out of the gate with no human intervention needed. Let’s take a closer look at how the Ac28R manages this.
Why Software Automation is important
With the never ending demand for new and more complex software applications, the industry is finding it harder and harder to keep up. Software engineering is so difficult to do that even with the most talented people, software projects routinely arrive over time, over budget, and filled with errors.
Programming is highly hands-on, and opportunities for automation have been limited over the years. IDE’s and debuggers help, as do UIX tools but, in the end, it is the logical algorithms that create all the problems and have been least susceptible to automation. This is where the Ac28R comes in.
Meet The Ac28R – The AI Software Generator
The Ac28R is an innovative AI software generator that allows a non-programmer to build a complex software application without having to write any logical instructions. Its capabilities go far beyond those of the No-Code / Low-code tools that are more suited to dashboard presentations of information. And compared with the LLM code generators, it produces reliable bulletproof software at the first time of asking
It is far ahead of other AI coding tools, and the gap continues to get wider with the recent addition of libraries covering such things as Monte Carlo models and financial instruments.
The Ac28R accomplishes this through three core innovations:
1. Inverts – 3D visual components that let you express exactly what you want
The Ac28R contains a system of special components that are simple and flexible and can be easily connected to express concepts of great sophistication.
There are over 1300 Invert templates, each one containing a small number of Attributes. These Attributes represent the bare minimum of what is needed to fully specify that Invert and all of its underlying behaviour. For example, with an Invert that represents an array of random variables, you only need to specify the length of the array and the probability distribution.
Inverts cover a wide range of components – everything from basic items like text, dates, numbers to sophisticated financial options, database procedures, random variables and complex probability distributions.
2. Invert Builder Tool
The Invert Builder Tool displays the Invert libraries and contains a desktop that lets you connect together Invert structures to specify a complete software application. By treating the Inverts as special 3D components that can be easily opened and closed, it lets you manage the big picture, yet still zoom down to the smallest detail.
An extensive system of guardrails provides you close guidance while making sure that all Invert connections are appropriate in terms of the Invert type and valid values, and that they don’t contain circular references or other logical errors. These guardrails prevent you from inadvertently introducing human error anywhere into the Invert structure.
The Invert structure is also unambiguous and provides everything that is needed for an AI software generator to build exactly what is being asked for.
3. AI Logic Engine
At the press of a button, The Ac28R analyses the completed Invert specifications and builds the corresponding software from scratch. It then immediately executes it – just like an omelette station that builds your omelette to order right when you ask for it. If you subsequently wish to modify the Inverts, The Ac28R would again build from scratch the software to match the new configuration.
The software corresponds exactly to what is specified through the Inverts. And since the Inverts are clear and unambiguous, the software also corresponds exactly to what the developer had in mind.
The Ac28R also provides special popup windows that allow you to easily examine any component of your software application. This provides comfort that your software application is doing exactly what you asked it to do.
What does The Ac28R mean for your business?
The Ac28R’s Inverts are easy to use and can be understood by even the most non-technical members of a team. Therefore, there is no miscommunication or confusion over exactly what software is being requested.
The Ac28R lets you develop applications quickly. This means that you can get instant feedback on your requirements while minimising all of the project management back and forth. And for the first time and with minimum fuss, you are able to try out alternatives.
The resulting software application is robust and substantially free from errors. This means you spend less time on debugging and QA testing, and more time focusing on the substance of your application.
Quick software development promises to have a cascading effect through an organisation, helping to make it much quicker on its feet and better able to respond to disruptive events that may occur.
How does The Ac28R compare to other AI code generators?
Large Language Models have been much in the news recently. Although there have been attempts to use them to write software code, the results have left much to be desired. In part, this is due to the unstructured text prompts that they employ. This leaves too much to do for the LLM. While the resulting hallucinations might still be tolerable for pictures and writing text summaries, they are not acceptable when it comes to precision and logic.
LLMs also suffer from the sheer difficulty of their task – locating and checking usable code snippets, and then trying to link them together. This is a daunting task for a highly skilled software engineer, and it is near impossible to come up with the instructions sufficient for an LLM to do this well.
The result is that most LLMs operate as little more than coding assistants to human software programmers. Although there are anecdotal improvements in programmer efficiency, the jury is still out.
LLMs were not built with logical applications in mind, and it doesn’t look like they will ever be reliable enough. A different kind of AI is needed, and it appears that The Ac28R has found it.
Who Can Benefit from the Ac28R?
The Ac28R represents a giant step forward for any organisation that has significant software development needs. But it is particularly compelling for:
- Organisations with large complex software that is difficult to understand and to change. The best example of this would be the financial services industry.
- Organisations with software applications that are subject to regular change. This would include organisations that are highly regulated, or perhaps in competitive markets that demand constant product innovation.
- Organisations that are highly sensitive to computer glitches. Unfortunately, this probably encompasses many industries, given the recent stories in the press.
- Organisations with an urgent immediate software need. The Ac28R can build in seconds the kind of complex application that might otherwise take several coders up to 6 months.
Final Thoughts
The Ac28R has taken a completely different approach to the automation of software coding, one that starts with easy specifications that let you say exactly what you want without any of the underlying logic.
Currently, there is nothing else like it, and its system of Inverts gives it a leg up on all other methods of instructing computers. In some ways, the Inverts might be viewed as providing the precision of source code while doing away with all of the logical complexity.
