• Integrate AI features into the applications: assistants on internal data and documentation, automatic extraction and classification of information.

• Use AI tools for development (Claude Code, Codex) to speed up writing, reviewing and testing code.

• Take care of quality and maintainability: version control, testing and technical documentation of the applications you develop.
