‘As Chief Scientist, I am under pressure…,’ says Zoho’s Sridhar Vembu after engineer uses AI to make new security tool

Zoho co-founder and Chief Scientist Sridhar Vembu has shared an example of AI’s productivity revolution in software development. In a detailed post on X (formerly Twitter), the famed co-founder, who worked with his team to create the Arattai messenger app, has now revealed how one experienced engineer at the company independently created a sophisticated security tool in just one month – a task that would traditionally require a team of three to four engineers nearly a year to complete.
