Overview
- Mercadona has put ATENEA into operation and reports that more than 500 of its engineers are already using the platform to accelerate software work.
- ATENEA uses coordinated, specialized agents that can not only generate outputs with a user but also autonomously execute tasks across development processes.
- The platform encodes Mercadona's internal knowledge, tools and quality standards so AI-generated code and actions align with the company’s technical and business criteria.
- An internal 'early adopters' engineering team is driving rollout, training other teams and preparing ATENEA to support the entire development lifecycle and to work with models from multiple vendors.
- ATENEA builds on Mercadona's prior AI projects in scheduling, invoice recognition and product master data and is intended to amplify engineers' capacity and speed while keeping technical responsibility with human teams.
