WE PILOTED AI CODING SOFTWARE AND HAD A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE, WHICH HAS LEFT ME WITH HESITATIONS ABOUT USING AI NOW.   

LexiCode’s tool is very different product and platform from other AI products on the market. The LexiCode engine learns from the codes being assigned by coders. It is only when coding quality meets your expectations that transition to AI occurs.
We believe it will be challenging to avoid AI coding altogether. Being methodical about reviewing and selecting the one that best meets your needs is critical. Our approach is one that makes sure accuracy is proven before the AI is engaged. We offer a low risk/high return option. Please contact us for a demo.
