AI-assisted delivery
AI speeds up delivery; engineers own the design, the review and the sign-off.
01
An agent team, with people at the gates
A ticket becomes a tested change. Engineers approve the plan and merge the result; quality gates run between.

Three levels of AI in engineering
FHN's maturity model, which NGT teams work to. Each level changes who approves what.
- 01Level 1 · AI-assisted
- Human-led; AI is a sidekick
- Optional tools for single tasks
- Peer review as usual
- 02Level 2 · AI-integrated
- AI in IDEs and pipelines
- AI proposes, a person decides
- Sign-off before commit or deploy
- 03Level 3 · AI-orchestrated
- Agents run scoped tasks: auto-PRs, self-healing
- People set intent and guardrails
- Policy-gated approval, full audit

Lessons learned: do and don't
Nine rules NGT teams follow when they use AI tools.
Don't Do
Tool choice✕A general chatbot for coding.✓The tool built for the job: Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Amazon Q or CodeVista.
Licences✕Personal accounts for customer work.✓Enterprise licences, data sharing off.
Prompts✕Vague prompts.✓Clear, step-by-step instructions.
Task size✕A whole feature in one prompt.✓Small pieces, so no step is skipped.
Context✕Every session from nothing.✓Reusable prompt sets and rules.
Customer data✕Customer information in prompts.✓Public data, or masked data.
Precision✕Command-line tasks left to the agent.✓Exact files named; commands run by people.
Verification✕Output trusted unchecked.✓Every output reviewed and fact-checked.
Know-how✕What worked is thrown away.✓Lessons kept as prompt sets and a handbook.
