What happens when AI coding agents enter the development process? AnswerRocket's team built a production-ready CRM in just four weeks, showing what's possible with next-generation software development.
In this episode, Pete Reilly, Alon Goren, Mike Finley, and Andy Sweet pull back the curtain on what modern AI development actually looks like in practice. Using a custom CRM project as their case study, they demonstrate how coding agents, contextual design, and new architectural patterns are fundamentally rewriting the build versus buy equation for enterprise software.
This isn't theory—it's a live demonstration of software that would have taken 10x longer to build just six months ago, with insights on what this means for development teams, IT strategy, and the future of business software.
