AI Hype or Helper? How to Assess if You Should Build an AI Feature

Semgrep is using AI to help address the challenges of building secure code quickly, but faced tough decisions when considering whether to launch Semgrep assistant. They didn’t want to simply jump on the bandwagon, but what if it was worth the hype?

In this talk, Drew shares the story of how the team planned, developed, and tested the idea (and even blogged about the process). Attendees will walk away with best practices for building AI features that deliver real value, not just gimmicks.
