At Kiandra, we use AI tools every day to speed up delivery, improve quality, and help our team focus on the work that really matters.

AI is a teammate, not a threat 

Think of AI like a calculator for coding. It doesn’t replace expertise, it removes the repetitive work so developers can focus on logic, architecture and real-world problem-solving. 

What AI tools actually do 

  • Tools like GitHub, Copilot and Cursor generate boilerplate, templates and docs to speed up development.
  • Faster understanding: AI helps devs make sense of legacy code and identify risks 
  • UI prototyping: Teams can spin up working components quickly to gather feedback faster. 

The hard stuff still needs humans

AI can’t understand your domain, weigh trade-offs, or design systems for scale and performance. That still takes human insight, collaboration, and expertise. What AI can do is help teams get there faster and with more confidence.

At Kiandra, it’s human and machine

By combining AI tools, low-code platforms, and an experienced team, we deliver faster, smarter, and more resilient software without compromising on quality. In fact, this hybrid approach is ideal for high-stakes systems that demand both speed and rigour.

The results speak for themselves

  • Prototype faster: Up to 70% reduction in design time
  • Deliver faster: 55% increase in development speed
  • Reduce bugs: 40% fewer production issues*
  • Analyse legacy systems: 60% less time on discovery^
  • Surface risk earlier: 91% of IT leaders report AI improves risk detection.

Replacing legacy systems with modern custom software

Cassie Wallace
30/9/2025

Many organisations across Australia still depend on systems built decades ago. These platforms once did the job, but they now act as barriers to growth. They are costly to maintain, difficult to scale, and risky to secure. More importantly, they can no longer keep pace with the expectations of staff and customers.
