Artificial intelligence can automate some Software Development processes (and many tools on the market sell this ideal). However, when you need to build a project: dedicated development teams still offer cost-effective solutions and more reliability.

Learn at meltstudio.co: is AI really better? And how it helps us when building software and how it is definitely not an option.

Artificial Intelligence has its place, but there are things it still can't do well when building software for your clients. Realistically, if we're talking about complex projects with tech stacks like React.js or large-scale systems, human development teams are still much more efficient.

How AI Can Help in Software Development?

AI can speed up repetitive tasks or give you a boost in things like testing, debugging or basic code generation, but relying fully on it for critical projects is still risky.

For example, tools like GitHub Copilot have shown a 61% increase in developer efficiency by automating code generation and bug fixes (Forbes, 2023). But even here, you need to be cautious — AI often generates solutions that aren’t optimized for scalability or long-term performance, adding technical debt that can slow you down later.

It cannot think critically and understand the business context. According to McKinsey (2023), only 30% of CEOs trust AI with large-scale strategic projects. The problem is creativity and adaptability—AI doesn’t know your clients or their specific needs.

Now, in terms of value for money and flexibility, LATAM's dedicated development teams are hard to beat. These teams combine deep technical expertise with an understanding of how to build software that scales.

With the nearshoring model, you get top-tier talent that can quickly adapt to changes in project requirements, something AI just can’t do without human oversight. Stack Overflow (2023) reported that human developers are 35% more efficient than AI when it comes to maintaining long-term software quality.

💡 So while AI can assist, it won’t replace dedicated dev teams.
