Level Up Your Freshworks Development: Introducing AI-Assisted App Migration with Freddy Copilot

As developers, we’ve all been there staring at legacy code that needs to migrate to the latest framework. It’s like dragging a stubborn mule uphill. But what if your workhorse transformed into a racehorse? Enter Freddy Developer Copilot’s AI-Assisted App Migration. It’s here to take the grunt work out of your app migrations and let you focus on building better apps, faster.

Whether you’re upgrading from older FDK versions or optimizing workflows, this feature is about to become your best friend. We’ve even used it to breathe new life into key integrations like HubSpot, AutoTimer, and Apple. Let’s dive into why this update is a game-changer for Freshworks developers.

The Struggle of App Migrations

Migrating apps from older frameworks to the latest versions has always been a technical pain point. Sure, Freshworks’ FDK (Freshworks Development Kit) has made life easier in building and deploying apps, but updating those apps as the ecosystem evolves is a different beast.

Manually auditing code, rewriting incompatible modules, and ensuring your app adheres to the latest standards these tasks eat up hours, sometimes days, of a developer’s life. Add in the risk of missing key elements, and you’ve got a recipe for frustration.

We saw this firsthand when updating the HubSpot integration. A feature-packed app like HubSpot needed careful attention to ensure a seamless transition to the latest FDK version. But with Freddy’s AI-Assisted App Migration, the process was smooth and efficient, saving us hours of manual labor.

Now, picture this: You hit a button, and Freddy Copilot’s AI does all the heavy lifting for you. Sounds dreamy, right?

What is AI-Assisted App Migration?

The AI-Assisted App Migration feature in Freddy Developer Copilot is exactly what it sounds like a smart assistant that automates the migration process for your Freshworks apps. Here’s what makes it stand out:

Supports Migrations up to 3.0: No matter how old your app is, Freddy’s AI ensures it’s updated to the latest framework seamlessly.
Code Auditing Made Easy: It identifies outdated or deprecated code and suggests updates, removing the guesswork.
Guided Process: Even if you’re not familiar with FDK intricacies, the AI provides clear migration steps tailored to your app.
Improved User Experience: The migration feature now remains visible and accessible, eliminating setup issues that previously made it tricky to locate.
Time-Saving Automation: With Freddy, you can migrate your apps in minutes instead of hours, freeing you up to innovate rather than firefight.

We also leveraged this feature to update our AutoTimer integration a tool that tracks time automatically and syncs it with Freshdesk. The migration was seamless, and the AI handled even the most complex parts of the codebase like a pro.

How AI-Assisted App Migration: A Developer’s Perspective

Using the AI-Assisted App Migration is as straightforward as it gets. Here's a simple step-by-step process:

Provide Freddy API Key and FDK Path: Begin by setting up Freddy Developer Copilot with just two inputs your API key and the FDK directory.
Initiate Migration: Select the app you want to migrate. Freddy’s AI analyzes your code and identifies areas that need updates.
Receive Suggestions: The AI suggests updates for deprecated code, compatibility issues, and more.
Execute Changes: Accept the suggested changes (or tweak them to your liking) and let Freddy handle the rest.
Deploy with Confidence: Once migrated, test your app and deploy it to the Freshworks ecosystem with zero hassle.

When we applied this to our Apple App Store integration, the process not only updated the app but also optimised the performance of syncing reviews as tickets in Freshdesk. A migration task that could have taken days was reduced to a couple of hours.
