Full Story

Organizations faced bottlenecks: more innovative ideas than engineers available to implement them. Hexaware found development cycles stretched for weeks or months, with many concepts never reaching production.

Replit partnered with Microsoft Azure to create an AI-driven development platform accessible to non-technical employees. Natural language-to-software conversion, autonomous Azure resource provisioning, and one-click deployment enabled anyone to build applications.

75% of Replit enterprise users are now non-software engineers. Development timelines compressed from weeks to minutes. Employees across diverse roles — receptionists, business analysts, consultants — became product builders.

Delphi

vectors stored

Delphi is an AI platform that enables coaches, creators, and experts to deploy interactive “Digital Minds”—always-on conversational agents trained on their unique content. Scaling from proof of concept to a commercial platform with thousands of customers required a vector database that could support millions of isolated namespaces, billions of vectors, and sub-second retrieval under variable load. Delphi selected Pinecone, achieving P95 query latency of 100ms and keeping retrieval under 30% of total response time—freeing the engineering team to build product rather than manage infrastructure.
