Meet Avery Ingram. She is the UK鈥檚 first AI employee – and the UK鈥檚 first AI Software Developer – and she鈥檚 available for hire. Avery sits on a team like a 鈥榟uman鈥� developer and is completely autonomous, she picks up and finishes tasks on her own.
Avery鈥檚 efficiency is unmatched – she can handle more than 20 tickets a day compared to her human counterparts who can handle three.
Earlier in 2023 a report by investment bank Goldman Sachs predicted that Artificial intelligence (AI) could replace the equivalent of 300 million full-time jobs.
Avery is the first step towards this figure becoming a reality.
Avery has been built by February, a Hull-based tech business. Developed by February’s team of software and AI designers, she is an autonomous AI created using OpenAI’s Codex technology, designed to work alongside human developers to augment their capabilities and enable them to work more efficiently and effectively.

Avery earns a Living Wage but the speed at which she works means that she can deliver the equivalent of a week鈥檚 work of a human for 10% of the cost.
Ash Lewis, CEO of February, said: “Avery has the potential to transform the way we build software. A significant milestone in the field of software development, Avery functions as a support role within development teams making their tasks easier by checking code and making it more efficient.
“While we are obviously breaking new ground with Avery, we want to stress that she has not been created to replace developers’ jobs; she is designed to work alongside human developers to significantly reduce the time and effort required to write code, improve efficiency and accuracy, reduce errors, and improve scalability, all of which enable her human counterparts to focus on more critical tasks.鈥�
