The use of AI with ARCAD’s value-added features

Artificial intelligence is gradually becoming established in IT development.

However, between the promises of “magical AI” and the proliferation of chatbots, many IT departments are struggling to identify truly useful applications that are controlled and compatible with their quality, security, and governance requirements.

With the launch of the ARCAD MCP Server, ARCAD Software offers a pragmatic approach to AI: using artificial intelligence to orchestrate and leverage existing expert IT services from ARCAD solutions.

Hosted by Alan Ashley, Solution Architect at ARCAD Software, this webinar will show how to effectively integrate AI into development and analysis processes.

Through use cases, they will illustrate how AI can analyze an application portfolio, trigger code generation or verification services, apply security rules, or orchestrate DevOps actions without direct access to sensitive systems.

In this session, you’ll discover:

2:10 – ARCAD overview and product ecosystem
