Snippet:

Former Apple Vice President Tom Kane is breaking his two-year silence with a stealth startup that aims to slash enterprise application development costs by 80%.

The product, codenamed “Node,” uses proprietary AI to convert simple business logic into production-ready code, bypassing traditional DevOps pipelines. Early beta results from a Fortune 50 client show a 90% reduction in developer hours for internal tools.

“We’re not replacing developers; we’re eliminating the grunt work that costs companies billions,” Kane stated in an exclusive interview. Industry analysts predict this could disrupt the $700B enterprise software market.

Kane’s last venture, acquired by Apple in 2019, still powers iOS productivity apps. Node is expected to launch publicly in Q3 2024.
