Every year, companies make predictions about what will change in technology. Most are half right and half hype. But heading into 2026 already feels different, and not just because of shiny new tools or bigger clouds.
It feels different because the way teams build software is changing at a deeper level.
Over the last year, working with clients across ecommerce, manufacturing, engineering, and construction, a pattern has become impossible to ignore. Teams are busier than ever, but building software has never felt more complicated. And the root cause isn’t talent shortages or tool fatigue. It’s the growing complexity of the work itself.
Modern teams are juggling:
- Multiple environments, services, and dependencies
- CI/CD pipelines that grow faster than documentation can keep up
- Backlogs filled with small tasks that still require human attention
- Review processes that slow down not because people disagree, but because people are overloaded
- A constant push to deliver value while navigating ever-changing requirements
Despite having more automation than any previous era, something is still missing. The industry has tools that run tasks, but not enough tools that understand them.
That is where intelligent workflows start to shift the conversation.
Intelligent workflows are built on three ideas
1. Context-aware automation
Automation that adapts to the project, the architecture, and the team instead of treating every task the same way.
This reduces friction without removing flexibility.
2. Human-in-the-loop refinement
Instead of cutting people out, intelligent workflows give them leverage.
Teams step in only when judgment or creativity is required, and automation handles the rest.
3. Continuous learning from real work
Processes improve because they observe patterns across projects, tasks, and reviews.
Not theoretical improvements, but practical ones that grow over time.
This is not a trend for early adopters anymore. It is becoming a competitive advantage.
Over the past year, we have been investing heavily into this space. If you happen to visit the site and notice a new “Products” menu item, feel free to click it. A few people already have. Let’s just say it is a soft launch for something bigger that we have been building quietly for a long time.
I cannot share full details yet, but the work aligns deeply with what I believe the next decade of software development will look like. A few legal filings and final steps are in motion, and once everything is aligned, we will have a lot more to share.
2026 is going to be a pivotal year. Teams that embrace intelligent workflows will move faster, ship more reliably, and free up their most valuable resource: human creativity.
We are excited for what comes next — and even more excited to help teams get there.
