How much time does it really take to build a full solution?

We deployed a complete solution using Cognite CDF, Cursor, and Anthropic Claude Opus 4.6, powered heavily by Gen AI in just 4 hours.

This was not just a prototype screen. It was a fully deployed solution for demo purpose.

And here’s the most interesting part:
All of the following steps were done using Gen AI:
1️⃣ Creation of the data model in Cognite Data Fusion and the Terraform
2️⃣ Deployment of the model in Cognite
3️⃣ Data generation and ingestion into the Cognite Data Platform
4️⃣ Development of a React application on top of Cognite using the Cognite SDK
5️⃣ Creation of: Asset Map, KPIs, Production Time Series Dashboard
and Well Intervention view


From data modeling to frontend application — accelerated with AI.
This is not about replacing engineers.
It’s about dramatically increasing speed, experimentation, and delivery capacity. The question is no longer “Can we build it?”
It’s “How fast can we build it?”

Post here!

This is impressive, Andre!

Not just that it only took 4 hours, but the quality and relevance of the solution. Very cool to see!

What was the one thing about the process you’d like to see improved?

Hi,

This was a fantastic read! We are working on improving the DevX which hopefully could take some of the time spent on building apps significantly down. +1 to what Knut said about where the biggest pain points were, where you’d like to see improvements.
