From Co-pilot to Colleague: How SnapGPT Is Moving from Development into Operations

And so today, what we wanted to talk about is how we have been, as an industry as well as SnapLogic more locally, how we've been driving the inclusion of new AI capabilities in software and software development and software operations in particular, and how that has progressed over the years.

So the occasion is we just relaunched our own SnapGPT.

This is the integration copilot that lives inside of the SnapLogic platform and helps people develop pipelines, interact with them in various ways, document them, etc.

But it's recently gained some interesting capabilities that we thought were worth taking a step back and fitting into a broader view of what's going on in the market.

So, Jeremiah, you had some thoughts about how that progression has evolved since we first launched SnapGPT.

Actually, you and I together were on stage in London.

That's right.

Well, if we track the evolution of AI being used in software development, it's been really amazing to see the progression from first two windows up, your integrated development environment, your coding environment, and a language model.

So you've got chat GPT, or Claude, what have you, and asking questions of the language model and then doing your work.

Whereas now we have full spectrum and agentic development.

And we're talking about developers coordinating agents as if they're leading a team to produce full featured And that arc that we've gone through has just been amazing.

And we were with SnapLogic because we provide the environment to develop the workloads as well as operate and maintain them by including that user experience in the same case.

canvas as the creation of workloads.

That was definitely a significant steps forward, first to market for our domain.

And yet that was just the beginning of the journey.

So I think that's what's really fascinating to me is to watch that progression and we can kind of walk through it more closely.

I feel like in some ways, we wonder if this is presaging the way that the changes will happen in other work domains, or maybe not.

Maybe it's unique to the software engineering world, the way that these tools have found their way into our tool chain and fundamentally changed not only the user experience, but organizational models and how we operate, etc.

But it's a big moment for us with the new releases and excited to dig into that with you, Mark.

So yeah, when we first launched SnapGPT on stage at Integrate, as we said, so I had the slightly nerve-wracking moment of giving the demo and it was very much, make me a pipeline that will do this and this.

And that was what SnapGPT launched with.

That's what most of these assistants start with.

Make me something and you receive an artifact in return.

In our case, the Snap Object Pipeline could be whatever.

And that is a fairly limited way of working.
