Thoughtworks Launches AI/works: Era of Agentic Development

On January 21, 2026, consulting firm Thoughtworks unveiled the AI/works™ platform. This agentic software development solution targets large enterprises. The platform utilizes a network of autonomous AI agents to tackle IT's toughest challenge—modernizing legacy systems.

Thoughtworks asserts that AI/works enables a shift from "coding assistants" (like Copilot) to fully agentic workflows, where AI autonomously plans refactoring, writes tests, and updates architecture. This heralds a new era in Agile: development speed is now limited not by the number of hands, but by the quality of agent management.
