Hello - I am with the team behind The Ac28R. There has been much talk recently about whether an LLM could ever write complex accurate software code. But LLM shortcomings are becoming increasingly apparent - they rely on imprecise human prompts and must still be closely checked by a software engineer.

The Ac28R is different - it’s based on a brand new type of AI we have built from the ground up. Instead of writing software using a programming language, you create visual specifications using Inverts. The Ac28R then analyses the Invert structure, and in a matter of seconds it can generate industrial strength software. We now have a full working copy, and it can operate against enterprise databases. There’s no logic needed anywhere.

Since the Ac28R is not an app, we are not able to link the product for you to play with. However we have created a series of demonstration videos on our YouTube channel which show exactly how it works, and we plan on releasing more videos as we add new capabilities. Our website also contains a lot of useful background material (including the demonstration videos).

We’re excited about this breakthrough, but we understand that we’ll face a fair bit of scepticism, given that it turns current practices on their head. We’ve therefore put a lot of effort into our demonstration videos.

We’d very much appreciate any feedback you would be willing to offer. In particular, do the explanations make sense, and are there any obvious objections that we haven’t addressed?

I wouldn’t focus on low level software and hardware. I believe that opportunities in these areas will shrink over time as hardware gets cheaper and newer tools allow people to work at a higher level of abstraction.

Think of how assembly language has become niche, or how web tools help you put together simple UI’s that would previously have taken days. Or relational databases with SQL that killed off the previous generations. We are working on tools that substantially reduce the coding/testing burden, and I’m sure we are not the only ones.

If you focus more on the skills that a CS degree will help you develop you can’t go far wrong, no matter what the future holds.
