74% FEWER BUGS WITH AGENTIC DELIVERY FOR A LEADING RESTAURANT GROUP

Five AI agents reduced bugs by 74% and improved development workflows, while establishing a scalable model for broader team adoption.

INTRODUCTION

Improving delivery performance requires progress in both speed and quality.

A leading restaurant group wanted its software team to improve development performance by completing stories faster while strengthening quality gates. Legacy complexity, limited lifecycle metrics, and low AI adoption created additional constraints.


CI&T focused on five practical AI agents across refinement, implementation, quality assurance, bug resolution, and design-system synchronization. Powered by CI&T Flow, the agents were embedded into existing engineering workflows while teams learned how to evolve them for their own context.


Early results included a 74% reduction in bugs and measurable improvements across development activities.

THE CHALLENGE: IMPROVING SPEED AND QUALITY TOGETHER

The organization needed faster story delivery while strengthening quality and building the team's ability to adopt AI across development.

Development Velocity

The organization set ambitious targets to increase the speed at which development stories were completed.

Quality Improvement

Delivery acceleration needed to happen alongside stronger quality gates and fewer defects.

AI Readiness

The team was still learning how to use and improve AI agents within its day-to-day engineering context.

THE SOLUTION

CI&T introduced five AI agents across refinement, development, quality, bug resolution, and design-system
activities to improve delivery end to end.

Refinement Agent

AI generated technical refinement documentation, helping teams prepare clearer inputs before implementation.

Dev & QA Agents

Specialized agents supported implementation and automated post-development QA activities across the delivery lifecycle.

Bug & Design Agents

Agents supported bug triage and design-system synchronization, helping reduce repetitive engineering work.

THE IMPACT

Early results showed improvements in software quality while the team
continued refining and expanding agent usage.
