Abstract: Techniques for leveraging a large language model (LLM) in software development are described. A description of a software development task is received from a user. Data associated with the software system is obtained from a data source. An LLM is prompted to identify at least one aspect of the task which requires clarification from the user, at least partly by providing the obtained data to the LLM and asking the LLM to identify a question for the user which remains unanswered by the obtained data. The question is presented to the user. An answer to the question is received from the user. The LLM is prompted to respond to propose an implementation of the task at least partly based on the data associated with the software system and the answer received from the user. The proposed implementation is received from the LLM and caused to be displayed to the user.
