There's no single "right way" to bring AI to your IBM i environment. Profound Logic gives you two proven paths—agentic coding and application-side AI—so you can start where your biggest constraint is today.
Three pressures are converging on IBM i teams at once—and waiting only widens the gap between where your business is and where it needs to be.
The developers who understand your RPG and COBOL applications—the business rules, the custom workflows, the institutional knowledge—are retiring. Finding replacements who understand both legacy platforms and modern AI isn't just difficult. It's becoming impossible.
Projects sit waiting not because they lack business value, but because your team lacks the capacity to execute them. Meanwhile, every month of delay is a month competitors pull further ahead.
Business leaders need intelligent features this quarter. Customers expect real-time decision support, intelligent automation, and predictive capabilities. Your current systems can't deliver—not because they lack value, but because they haven't been connected to modern AI.
The right starting point depends on whether your biggest constraint is developer capacity and productivity, or the intelligence and capabilities of your applications themselves. Most enterprises need both.
For teams that need to do more with the developers they have. CoderFlow deploys autonomous engineering agents that execute complete development cycles inside your infrastructure—writing, compiling, testing, validating, and fixing code without constant human prompting. Your developers shift from doing the work to orchestrating it: defining objectives, reviewing verified outcomes, and approving production-ready results.
Best for: development teams managing large backlogs, technical debt reduction, RPG/COBOL refactoring, and preparing for developer retirement.
Explore CoderFlowFor teams ready to add intelligent capabilities directly to existing applications. Profound AI fully integrates with IBM i, enabling you to build AI-powered agents that access IBM i data, call IBM i programs and procedures, and even run IBM i commands directly. No deep AI expertise required. No rip-and-replace.
Best for: adding conversational AI, automating routine decisions, enabling data-driven insights, and delivering AI-powered user experiences without rebuilding your applications.
Explore Profound AIWith Profound AI, intelligence isn't bolted on—it's built directly into the applications your business already runs on IBM i.
This isn't modernization – it's futurization. Your IBM i investment becomes more valuable, not obsolete.
Most enterprises benefit from both. Talk to an IBM i AI expert who can help you map the right strategy for your situation—whether that's agentic coding, application-side AI, or both.
