Bain & Company has begun utilizing artificial intelligence to create functional replicas of software products owned by potential acquisition targets. This process, known as "vibecoding," allows the firm to conduct more efficient due diligence by simulating how a target's software operates.
By generating these AI-driven clones based on high-level descriptions and observed behaviors, the firm can assess a product's technical viability and architectural integrity more rapidly than through traditional manual audits. The adoption of these AI-generated models is intended to significantly accelerate the merger and acquisition process within the tech sector.
