At Stack Overflow, our journey to incorporating AI into our internal tech stack and product offerings began with a desire to make learning easier and more efficient for our global user base. Every day, Stack Overflow helps engineers, developers, and technologists of every kind learn by answering their questions and guiding them to discover new solutions and fresh approaches.

We know that learning is integral to this work—and that it’s hard. Especially for beginners, it’s hard to know where to start, which questions to ask first. After all, you don’t know what you don’t know, especially when you’re new to a topic. We also know that our Stack Overflow for Teams customers are looking for innovative ways for their teams to find information faster and collaborate more seamlessly.

That’s why we built OverflowAI, a GenAI-powered add-on for Stack Overflow for Teams Enterprise. We wanted to streamline and improve your workflows with AI-powered features including Enhanced Search; Stack Overflow for Visual Studio Code, an IDE extension; and Auto-Answer App for Slack and Microsoft Teams.

But before we lay out how OverflowAI can help your organization meet its goals, let’s back up and explore how GenAI is continuing to transform search, chat, and developer environments.
