This video walks through Equinox’s AI-First SDLC workflow, showing how AI is embedded across every phase of development — from planning and design, through implementation and unit testing, to functional testing and delivery.
It covers the structured prompting approach used at each stage: guardrail prompts for planning, a two-step context/story prompting approach for design, and system prompts combining user stories, design documents, and code for implementation. A sample design walkthrough and the 3-level design review process (AI-assisted, iterative regeneration, and manual review) are also demonstrated.
The video wraps up with common questions on tooling (GitHub Copilot, the Playwright-based test automation framework), model selection guidance for large-context tasks, handling mid-development requirement changes, support for mono repo vs. multi repo setups, and how AI’s role is reshaping traditional story sizing approaches.
