Comment Spyrosoft Synergy construit un état d'esprit AI-first grâce à l'expérience pratique
AI has become an integral part of everyday work, transforming the way teams solve problems, prototype ideas, automate repetitive tasks and develop new solutions. At Spyrosoft Synergy, this is built through practical experience, experimentation and knowledge sharing across the organisation. A recent example of this approach was the AI enablement hackathon, an event designed to demonstrate the accessibility and effectiveness of AI-powered development in real-life scenarios.
En quelques heures seulement, 55 participants avec différents niveaux d'expérience ont collaboré pour créer 22 projets, y compris des outils et des idées de tests, pour découvrir à quel point le codage assisté par IA est devenu accessible.
L'événement s'inscrivait dans le cadre de la transition plus large de Synergy vers l'intelligence artificielle, qui vise à favoriser un état d'esprit axé sur l'IA à travers toute l'organisation grâce à l'expérimentation, à l'apprentissage continu et à l'application pratique de l'IA dans les flux de travail quotidiens.
Concevoir de vraies solutions avec l'IA
The hackathon is a practical, hands-on initiative designed to help employees explore how artificial intelligence can support their everyday work. Rather than focusing on theoretical discussions or presentations about AI, the event encouraged participants to actively build solutions, experiment with AI-assisted coding and demonstrate how quickly ideas can be transformed into functioning tools.
Comme l'a souligné Rafal Podles – notre Senior Java Software Engineer – organisateur de l'événement, l'idée principale du hackathon était de démontrer aux employés combien la création de logiciels est devenue simple et accessible avec le soutien d'outils d'IA. The goal was not to build polished demo projects or compete for the most visually impressive applications, but to create genuinely useful tools capable of solving real problems. The hackathon was designed to encourage a new mindset within the organisation – if a task feels repetitive, inefficient or frustrating, it may be possible to automate or improve it with AI.

Plusieurs objectifs fondamentaux ont guidé l'initiative dès le départ :
- Enseigner aux employés une utilisation pratique de l'IA dans un environnement de travail réel plutôt que par une formation théorique.
- Abaisser la barrière à l'adoption de l'IA en offrant aux participants la possibilité d'expérimenter dans un cadre sûr et collaboratif.
- Démontrer que la création d'outils internes ou de prototypes ne nécessite plus un temps de développement considérable ni une expertise hautement spécialisée.
- Montrer comment les flux de travail modernes assistés par l'IA permettent aux employés de tester rapidement des idées, d'automatiser les processus répétitifs et de créer des solutions fonctionnelles en quelques heures seulement.
Ce que les participants ont le plus apprécié
L'un des résultats les plus précieux a été les retours fournis par les participants par la suite. Many admitted that they had not realised quite how effective AI had become in supporting coding and application development. Some were surprised at how quickly AI could generate functional code, solve technical problems or accelerate prototyping. Those with more experience of AI-assisted development were also able to share their knowledge and workflows with colleagues who were just starting out with AI, creating a collaborative learning environment across teams.
L'effet d'entraînement du hackathon d'activation de l'IA
Although the event was a focused, time-limited initiative, its significance extends well beyond a single workshop. It is one of the first visible signs of a broader transformation taking place within Spyrosoft Synergy, representing a shift in how the organisation approaches technology, problem-solving and everyday work. Rather than treating AI as an isolated topic or an experimental tool, we’re integrating it directly into the way our teams work and deliver value every day.
What makes this particularly important is the intent behind the initiative. The hackathon accelerated cultural change by providing people with direct, hands-on experience of AI in action. By enabling employees to build, test and experiment within a short timeframe, the event reinforces the long-term goal of making AI a natural part of how work is done instead of an optional add-on or separate skill set.
This is where the connection to the broader AI change initiative becomes clear. Ideas such as AI-assisted workflows, rapid prototyping, the automation of repetitive tasks and curiosity-driven experimentation are not limited to a single event format. They represent a mindset that Spyrosoft Synergy is actively encouraging across teams and projects.
Les principes sous-jacents à la transition IA de Synergy
At Spyrosoft Synergy, we specialise in developing software for robotics, chemicals, consumer electronics, and human-machine interfaces. We also develop solutions for the automotive, medical, industrial and web/mobile sectors, combining various technologies to create integrated ecosystems of devices and applications.

Instead of viewing artificial intelligence as a set of isolated tools or a short-term productivity boost, we aim to integrate it directly into everyday workflows and decision-making processes. At the core of this approach is the idea of fostering a consistent AI-first mindset throughout the organisation, where employees instinctively use AI as part of their standard toolkit.
A key tenet of our strategy is the seamless integration of AI into the way employees think and work. This enables them to focus on high-value problem solving rather than repetitive or manual tasks. At Synergy, we have been embedding AI in our software development processes for at least two years, and it is now an integral part of the daily workflows of our development teams, business functions and a significant proportion of our back-office operations. We are currently scaling up, standardising and systematically embedding AI across all functions, treating it as an expected and standard component of how work is performed.
Another important principle relates to the role of AI in the delivery phase. AI-powered delivering allows ideas to be tested and validated much earlier in the development cycle, which significantly reduces the time between conception and execution. It also reduces the cost of experimentation and increases the speed at which valuable ideas can be turned into usable solutions.
Les collaborateurs sont encouragés à apprendre de manière autonome en explorant de nouveaux outils, techniques et workflows à leur propre rythme. Cependant, il est tout aussi important que cela les connaissances sont partagées entre les équipes. En échangeant des expériences, des perspectives et des exemples pratiques, l'organisation peut accroître sa maturité collective en matière d'IA, en veillant à ce que l'apprentissage soit multiplié entre les différents groupes et projets, ce qui conduit à des résultats plus efficaces.
Pour soutenir cette approche, plusieurs initiatives internes pilotées par l'IA ont été mises en place au sein de Spyrosoft :
- AI Tool Lab: A monthly, hands-on, online coding session in which developers explore AI tools and workflows collaboratively in a practical setting. The sessions build real, immediately applicable skills that improve development efficiency and AI adoption across teams.
- KawAI: This is a fortnightly community meetup focused on sharing the latest AI tools, trends and real-world use cases from work and personal projects. It helps teams to keep up to date in the rapidly changing field of AI and fosters a more open mindset towards AI.
- AI Gym: Une initiative communautaire où les passionnés d'IA organisent des événements et des activités qui promeuvent l'expérimentation et l'adoption pratique de l'IA. Elle encourage l'engagement ascendant et renforce la sensibilisation à l'IA par le biais d'expériences.
A core mindset shift involves a simple yet powerful habit – considering whether AI could assist with any task before beginning it. This encourages employees to pause and evaluate whether parts of their work could be accelerated, improved or automated with AI support.

Transformation de l'IA à l'échelle de l'organisation
Plus important encore, le virage vers l'IA couvre l'ensemble de l'organisation Spyrosoft Synergy et est coordonné à travers six groupes de compétences clés : Backend & DevOps, QA, HMI, Robotique, PMs & BUDs, et Backoffice.
AI has already been used in software development at Synergy for at least two years. It is an integral part of the daily workflow for development teams, business functions and a large proportion of back office operations. We are in a phase of systematically scaling up, standardising and embedding AI usage across all functions. This means that we treat AI as an expected and standard element of how our work is performed.
En conclusion
The hackathon demonstrated that the adoption of AI begins with curiosity, experimentation and hands-on experience. What started as an interactive workshop has become part of a transformation at Spyrosoft Synergy , with a focus on fostering an AI-first mindset and equipping teams to work smarter, faster and solve real problems with the support of AI.
