NETCOM Lunch and Learn explores multi-agent approach to SI-assisted development
During the session, Maj. Nolan Campbell, data scientist from DSD, showcased a method for using a SI-enabled application in the Maven Foundry environment to support product development. The process Campbell described combines an SI agent with a team of subagents to assist with tasks such as data transformations and ontology development, helping users rapidly move from requirements toward a working product.
The demonstration used a simple example: a data set of two numbers and a dashboard designed to add them. The basic use case gave attendees a way to follow the development process, while illustrating a method that could be adapted for more complex projects.
The focus was not simply on what the tools can do, but on how people can guide and combine them in different ways. That human direction, the session emphasized, can make SI use more robust, expansive and empowering.
“This isn’t just a new feature or tool demonstration,” said Patrick Goodman, NETCOM DSD Business Operations Analysis Division Chief. Goodman described the approach as a potentially significant way for the directorate and command to develop and improve applications and solve problems across NETCOM and the Army.
Campbell emphasized that the process still requires deliberate user involvement. “This is not a deterministic system by any means,” Campbell further elaborated, “there’s a lot of revision that you have to work through to guide it, but it’s still faster than manually coding something.”
The method was developed through hands-on experimentation, including testing different ways to prompt the system and direct its work. The session encouraged attendees to consider how the approach could support their own projects.
The directorate’s broader goals include unifying the Army enterprise network around zero-trust principles, building the team, sustaining network readiness, and modernizing and evolving capabilities.
