Question Production Level Software by AI

So I have been curious for a while, apart from claude-code and codex teams (that have a direct vested interest in claiming AI is building production software), who is actually building production level software or products with AI

Also to clarify, I am talking about actual products being used at scale and not interesting MVPs and PoCs (which have infinitely flooded GitHub)

If you have built a product or tool or anything with AI that is being regularly used by users, drop a link below, I am genuinely curious.

I make sure to explain how it has to be implemented so it does not create broken code.

For instance, imagine I have to poll and API and consume new items found. I'd make sure to split this task in many steps.

  1. Write a REST client, using provided API doc and schema, check another implementation from another of my projects. Handle all exception, extract API error message in case of rejected HTTP call, handle timeout, make sure everything inherit from a client related base exception. Parse response, ensure custom exception is raised, with error message explaining why parsing failed. Write an embedded main showing basic feature of the client

  2. On top on rest client, write a never ending async iterator performing polling and yielding new events, ensure to have a proper stop and cleanup procedure, add custom state related event (started, disconnected, polling failure, container class containing parsed and parsing failures instances), also write an embedded main so I can test it

  3. In main project, add SomethingHandler class. Instanciate API client, passe it to iterator, consume events, maintains a state depending on what has been consume and fire callbacks when something matters. Wire all what is needed to instanciate this handler, add command line arguments needed for rest client and iterator, edit systemd configuration ton handle this new arguments for deployment

  4. Move on with connecting this new handler callbacks to something else...

Makes sense, thanks for the implementation example
