According to Malte Ubl, CTO of Vercel, as cited by DeepLearning.AI, AI is fundamentally transforming software development workflows by enabling product managers and developers to collaborate on working prototypes from the outset, reducing misalignment and accelerating iteration cycles (source: DeepLearning.AI, Nov 14, 2025). Ubl highlighted that AI-powered agents can now analyze real issues directly from support tickets, collecting essential context for developers and redefining 'human-in-the-loop' processes. He further emphasized that focused vertical teams using AI are more likely to deliver successful products than large AI labs pursuing broad, unfocused directions. These changes present new business opportunities for companies to streamline development processes, improve product-market fit, and leverage AI for practical, team-based solutions.
