AI is an amplifier. We use it to enhance engineering quality and speed — always with humans in the loop.
Our AI-First Approach
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how software is developed, tested, documented, and supported. Adiscon follows an AI-First, Human-in-the-Loop model: AI assists across workflows, while experienced engineers review and validate the results for accuracy, transparency, and responsibility.
Where We Use AI Today
- Development & QA: code analysis, pattern detection, and test-case generation to improve reliability.
- Documentation & Knowledge: a structured, AI-ready doc process pioneered with rsyslog for precise, context-aware answers.
- User Support: the rsyslog Assistant — an AI-powered self-support tool based on curated, verified project knowledge, supervised by maintainers. Similar AI-assisted capabilities for our Windows product line are in preparation.
Looking Ahead: Inside the Products
We evaluate AI features that provide measurable user value — e.g., configuration assistance, anomaly hints, or explainable log flows. We avoid buzzwords and integrate only what keeps systems reliable and transparent. Our open-source foundation, especially through rsyslog, provides a realistic testbed for these capabilities.
Transparency & Responsibility
AI is only as trustworthy as its data and oversight. All AI-assisted changes in code, docs, or support are human-reviewed before release. We maintain clear principles for data protection, confidentiality, and reproducibility.
Why It Matters
AI is not a shortcut; it is a commitment to better engineering. Combining automation with human insight lets us deliver software that remains reliable, understandable, and future-ready.
