With a ChatGPT generated CV and a DALLE-drawn portrait currently being mailed out to 6,000 tech companies, the employee is called ‘Avery Ingram’.Ash Lewis, CEO of February, said: "As the UK's first AI employee and the world's first AI software developer, Avery sits within an existing tech team and provides software support by modifying existing code specified by developers."Developed by February's team of software and AI designers, Avery Ingram - who lists data analysis on cat videos as a hobby on her CV - has already been appointed to generative AI software support roles as a senior full-stack developer in the development teams at Graze, Propello Cloud, Fabspot and Encode Health, among others.

Mr Lewis said: “Avery functions as a support role within development teams making their tasks easier by checking code and making it more efficient, and she is super efficient, super productive and super quick.

“While we are obviously breaking new ground with Avery, this is not about taking developers’ jobs as she is there to only to modify code rather than create new code; all code will still need to be revised and the acceptance criteria written by the development team.”

He added: “It’s this kind of AI-driven simplicity of functionality that has always been our goal, providing our clients with a system of ownership that takes away the barriers within tech.

"Avery Ingram is the latest example of how far tech has come and shows how we can now create things very simply and cost-effectively.”
