New AI-first development approach pairs a smaller engineering footprint with AI-assisted design, coding, and testing to significantly increase development velocity 

Model validated with development of the soon-to-be-released new faidr app

Demonstrated approximately 4.8x faster feature delivery per engineer, 79% fewer engineering resources per equivalent scope of work, and 2.8x reduction in release cycles

BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Auddia Inc. (NASDAQ:AUUD) ("Auddia" or the "Company"), an AI-first technology company that has built a proprietary AI platform for audio identification and classification to reinvent how consumers engage with audio and how artists get discovered, today announced the adoption of an AI-first development model across the Company. The new approach materially increases development velocity while reducing the engineering resources required per feature, giving Auddia a faster and more efficient path from product roadmap to shipped release.

The AI-first development model embeds AI across every stage of the product lifecycle rather than treating it as a point-solution add-on.
