The project at a glance

Accelerate innovation by streamlining change control and getting new features on the road faster.

The challenge

Seamless, reliable Change and Pull Request management

In the software development department of a global automotive group, countless Change Requests (CRs) are received daily - from updates to driver assistance systems and critical infotainment patches to regulatory adjustments and region-specific requirements.

Each Change Request results after review and processual alignment, in a technical solution, submitted as a Pull Request (PR) containing the modified or new code. Until recently, this process was handled manually: gathering background information, comparing software versions, and coordinating across departments consumed valuable time and introduced potential for error - slowing progress and diverting resources from innovation.

The solution

AI-powered creation for faster results

Imagine an expert colleague who instantly combs through Confluence, GitHub, ServiceNow, and other data sources, gathers all relevant information, and produces complete, ready-to-review Change and Pull Request drafts. That's exactly what the AI Change Request Assistant - developed by Riverland Reply in collaboration with the automotive group - delivers. Team members interact with the assistant via simple text input, while AI automates the entire change process. The result: no more tedious research, fewer errors, and more time for teams to focus on breakthrough innovations.

The core of the solution

A sophisticated collaboration

The AI Change Request Assistant is a multi-agent system where specialized AI agents work together seamlessly. Each agent plays a specific role:

Search Agent

identifies relevant content across platforms such as Confluence, GitHub, and ServiceNow.

Drafting Agent

creates structured change request proposals based on templates and user prompts.

Integration Agent

automatically reconciles information between relevant systems.

Coordinator Agent

ensures smooth collaboration - handling error detection, prioritization, and response composition.

The technology behind it

Easily integrated and always up to date

State-of-the-art Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology ensures that only reliable information from relevant sources is used. The containerized architecture allows for flexible integration into existing IT environments. Regular updates keep the knowledge base current and provide developers at the automotive group with dependable, real-time support.

The result

Change management redefined:

Faster, safer, smarter
