Deon Koegelenberg from Agile Bridge on AI and the future of software development

AI-powered software development is rapidly changing how South African businesses build technology, automate processes, and compete globally. Deon Koegelenberg, Chief Executive Officer of Agile Bridge, explains how artificial intelligence is accelerating software delivery and helping organisations unlock more value from their technology investments. He compares the current AI shift with earlier technology waves such as broadband, cloud computing, and the rise of always-on connectivity. The conversation explores why businesses should prepare for a future where AI becomes an assumed part of everyday work rather than a separate tool. Koegelenberg discusses agentic AI, automation, enterprise software development, and how companies can use AI to accelerate projects that previously took years to complete. He also explains why employees must continuously develop their AI skills and why South Africa’s strong software engineering talent creates opportunities to serve global markets. Looking ahead, Koegelenberg expects virtually every organisation to become AI-enabled, even if technology is not its core business. 0:00 Intro 0:49 What Agile Bridge does 2:27 How businesses are adapting to AI 4:29 How AI gives businesses more time 8:00 Using AI to accelerate software development 13:20 Agentic AI and the next technology wave 15:09 Preparing employees for an AI-driven workplace Follow MyBroadband: X - https://twitter.com/mybroadband Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mybroadband Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mybroadband/ Website - https://mybroadband.co.za/news/ #ArtificialIntelligence #SoftwareDevelopment #DigitalTransformation
