The Project – AutoDev Assistant
Haris’ winning project, AutoDev Assistant, is an AI-powered tool designed to simplify DevOps workflows for developers and startups.
Problem Statement
Configuring DevOps pipelines such as GitHub Actions, Dockerfiles, and CI/CD workflows is often complex and time-consuming, particularly for solo developers or small teams.
The Solution
AutoDev Assistant allows users to describe their needs in plain language. For example:
“Create a CI pipeline to deploy a Node.js app to Vercel.”
The tool then automatically generates:
- YAML files
- Docker setups
- CI/CD integrations
All powered by AI-driven automation.
Built With
- Trae AI IDE (multi-agent system for code generation and prompt handling)
- Custom Trae Agents wired directly to UI actions
- Live feedback loops for validated CI/CD flows
- Frontend-linked multi-agent orchestration
Why It Matters
This recognition highlights Haris’ technical capabilities and underscores the potential of Pakistani youth in global AI and technology innovation. His solo achievement in a highly competitive international setting demonstrates how individual talent from Pakistan is making an impact on the global stage.
