Utilizing AI to help manage code quality at Intuit

Helping developers deliver high-quality code at any scale

My role

Research, UX Design, Product Design

Timeline & Status

3 weeks for design, 10 weeks total – to be launched in 2026.

Overview

I was part of an initiative at Intuit to help streamline the process for developers to output code using AI based solutions.

The current process of managing pull requests

Managing PR review rules today is a manual, repository-by-repository chore. This wastes time and prevents us from consistently enforcing coding standards across the organization.

Who is our typical user, and what are their needs?

Who: Small business owners who are not the most tech savvyCompanies with an average of 1- 5 employees.

Goals: A quick onboarding experience and to establish a feeling of comfort within the app from the outset.

Next step card

Prompts users to complete next step with explanation as to what it is.

Incorporating progressive disclosure by only showing users the details of their next step helps to prevent overwhelming users and allows them to feel more in control.

Final thoughts + next steps

Allowing users to navigate through the app on their own terms will help familiarize them with the app sooner, and the experience of onboarding versus using the app is no longer disjointed.

Removing the guided onboarding experience in the backend means that now the code does not live in two separate places, which will lead to less code regression and bugs.

A short project timeline lead to implementing the solution without conducting user testing

In the future, we plan to test the onboarding process with new users and existing users, as well as record data about the following points: 

  • Where users drop off in the experience → Analyze why they may feel frustrated at a certain step
  • How long each step takes users → Redesign to make time spent even shorter
  • Popular sequences of steps users take to complete account set up → Consider adopting popular sequences to account set up flow
