Hexaware RapidX™ – Generative AI for Modern Software Engineering

Hexaware RapidX™ is a cutting-edge Generative AI platform and professional services offering that redefines how organizations build, modernize, and reimagine software. Designed to “turn ideas into software,” RapidX integrates AI-assisted development across the SDLC, helping enterprises achieve faster time-to-market, higher quality, and reduced technical debt.

Overview

RapidX functions as a team of** virtual AI Subject Matter Experts (AI SMEs)** that collaborate with human developers, product owners, and business analysts to automate and optimize software engineering tasks. It brings precision, predictability, and productivity through co-crafting, design, and engineering intelligence powered by advanced large language models (LLMs).

**Key Capabilities **

AI-Assisted SDLC: From idea to release, RapidX supports requirement gathering, backlog creation, design thinking, blueprinting, and building forward engineering, documentation with AI guidance.

Transition & Modernization: Automatically assess legacy applications, extract business logic, and generate technical documentation for faster modernization.

Requirements Engineering: AI-generated user stories, BRDs, and SRS to align business goals with technical execution.

Code Comprehension & Knowledge Capture: Builds dynamic knowledge graphs that make codebases and documentation searchable and traceable.

Integration Flexibility: Hosted securely within the customer’s environment with a secure AWS full-stack deployment model.

Enterprise Security & Governance: Operates entirely within customer VPCs, ensuring no data leaves the organization and complying with enterprise SecOps principles.

**Service Benefits **

Accelerated Delivery: Compresses delivery cycles from weeks to days by integrating automation and AI collaboration.

Standardization & Quality: Ensures consistent, defect-free deliverables through AI-driven best practices and code validation.

De-risked Transitions: Simplifies onboarding, documentation, and knowledge transfer for complex IT landscapes.

Enhanced Productivity: Boosts developer velocity and reduces dependency on a few critical resources.

Scalable AI Adoption: RapidX provides a co-innovation model, allowing clients to start with specific AI agents (e.g., Code Comprehension or Requirement Agent) and scale across portfolios.

**How It Works **

RapidX is deployed within the customer’s infrastructure (AWS) and connects to project repositories, ALM tools, and technical documentation. It ingests code, specs, and wikis to create a knowledge base using vector databases and graph models. The platform then enables AI-powered search, reasoning, and content generation, supporting teams via plugins, web portals, and chatbots integrated with IDEs or collaboration tools like Slack and Teams.
