At CASA25, Creo’s new CTO Jason Goecke revealed how agentic AI is transforming the way teams code, collaborate, and deliver software—at scale.

“We’ve gone from months to days.”

That one line from Jason Goecke, the newly appointed CTO of Creo Solutions, captures the heart of a quiet revolution happening inside modern development teams. During his talk at CASA25, Jason walked the audience through a pragmatic, deeply experienced view on how agentic AI isn’t just an add-on to your dev process—it can become the process.

And if anyone has the credibility to make that claim, it’s Jason. A lifelong developer with roots in call center technology since the late ‘80s, he’s seen wave after wave of transformation sweep through the software world. But according to him, this one—AI-powered development—is different.

🧠 What’s Wrong with “Vibe Coding”?

Jason didn’t mince words:

“I don’t actually like vibe coding.”

Vibe coding—where developers use GenAI prompts to generate chunks of working code—has been gaining attention for its speed and simplicity. But as Jason explained, it mirrors human shortcuts a little too well. AI that simply reflects human behavior tends to reproduce the same flaws: rushed code, weak observability, minimal testing, and fragile scalability.

“You get a working product, but it’s not ready for primetime.”

This is where Creo draws a hard line. In Jason’s view, it’s time to move past vibe coding into something deeper, smarter, and more structured.

🤖 Enter Agentic AI: Codifying Quality from the Start

At Creo, Jason and the team are embracing agentic AI—where development doesn’t hinge on one AI assistant but instead a team of domain-specific agents, orchestrated like a real dev squad.

Think of it like this:

One agent understands React. Another monitors security or runs a code scan. Another ensures observability and logging are consistent. And you, the human, are still in the loop—steering the strategy.

This isn’t a single-shot prompt. It starts with something more familiar: a product requirements doc. From there, Creo uses RootCode, an open-source agentic AI framework, to assign responsibilities to various AI agents (and humans) and orchestrate the build.

This hybrid “human + AI” team handles everything from writing secure, production-ready code to ensuring logging, monitoring, and compliance are in place—by design, not afterthought.

🌍 From Nairobi to India: Building Global Teams That Work Like One

Perhaps the most compelling part of Jason’s talk was the operational impact.

By codifying their quality management strategy and development standards into the tools themselves, Creo has massively reduced onboarding time. What used to take months of training and documentation can now be handled in a few days.

“We’re onboarding developers from India, Nairobi, and elsewhere—and they’re productive within a week.”

For any tech leader managing distributed teams, this is a game-changer.

🛠️ Open Source, Open Future

Jason ended with a powerful commitment:

Creo is open sourcing their agentic AI development setup—starting with RootCode and extending into other components in collaboration with partners like Thomas Howe and his team at Vconic.

“We want the whole ecosystem to take advantage of this.”

This fits perfectly within Creo’s broader vision of enabling smarter, faster go-to-market for CPaaS players, telcos, and enterprise platforms alike. Rather than building closed, siloed solutions, Creo is betting on community-driven innovation.

🚀 Why It Matters

Jason Goecke’s talk wasn’t a flashy demo or an AI hype session. It was a sober, experienced perspective on what it really takes to deliver quality software in the AI age—without losing control, standards, or scalability.

In an industry still figuring out how to move from experimentation to execution, Creo Solutions is showing a clear path forward. One where AI doesn’t just generate code—it enforces quality, enables scale, and empowers global teams to move fast without breaking things.

Welcome to the future of development. It’s not just fast—it’s structured, smart, and open.

📢 Stay tuned as Creo and partners release more open-source components in the months ahead—and keep an eye on how agentic AI reshapes product delivery across the CPaaS ecosystem and beyond.
