About Gen-e2

While the market is still largely AI-augmenting delivery, we have reinvented the SDLC to be AI First. Our approach is a game-changer in productivity and quality, with a strong collaboration between IA generative and our best Talents:

• We now generate 95% of the entire product — code, documentation, infrastructure as code, and even design — with GitHub Copilot.
• The quality consistently exceeds the output of our best traditional engineering teams.
• A product repository houses all product artefacts, giving AI full project context for higher-quality generation.
• A library of rules and prompts defines coding standards, design principles, and security guidelines, ensuring enterprise-grade quality and scalability.

With Gen-e2, we deliver end-to-end products 2–3× faster than traditional approaches, while raising the bar for engineering excellence.
