I've been thinking about an interesting topic lately.
AI is changing what Salesforce developers spend their time on
In Salesforce projects, developers often spend hours figuring out existing logic, preparing test scenarios and working through repetitive technical tasks before they reach the actual solution. AI can help shorten this part of the process.
At Clouddora, we use AI to support the engineering workflow rather than hand over technical decisions to a model. It can help explore existing implementations, turn requirements into a starting point, compare approaches and prepare material for further development.
This works across Apex, Triggers and Lightning Web Components. AI can help prepare an initial implementation, suggest test scenarios, review logic or break a larger task into smaller steps. Tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cody and Salesforce AI capabilities can fit into different parts of this workflow.
The biggest difference appears in the hours that are easy to overlook. A developer can spend half a day understanding an old implementation before making a small change.
Reducing that preparation time gives the team more space for architecture, business logic and the decisions that actually require Salesforce expertise.
Curious, how do you feel about using AI in Salesforce development and delivery? Would love to hear your take.
