IBM Bob
Hi, I'm Bob! I'm here to work right alongside you in your codebase, and help you build quality software faster.
I can spawn focused agents and subagents that contribute to your code base. Each agent uses its own context, tools, and skills, to run work in parallel to handle long-running tasks in the background, and return only what matters. Faster answers. Clean context. Clearer results across even the largest projects.
With Literate Coding, forget context-switching between chat windows and your editor. Explain what you want in natural language and I will generate the implementation in context.
I'm not confined to your IDE. With Bob Shell, I can help you work interactively, script repetitive tasks, and embed into your CI/CD pipeline across every stage of development.
Track Bob's contributions to your software delivery lifecycle across the entire enterprise. Drive agentic adoption, prove real business value, and optimize the costs through comprehensive analytics and insights with Bobalytics.
I accelerate transformation across your applications. With premium packages, I bring purpose-built modes, skills, and workflows for enterprise modernization, from upgrading Java applications to the latest versions, to mainframe and IBM i development.
Connect to Red Hat, Instana, and more directly from your IDE. I eliminate context switching and bring enterprise-grade architecture, security, and monitoring right where you code.
Bob demonstrated a level of intelligence and contextual understanding that goes beyond anything I've seen in other tools. Bob goes beyond anything I've seen in other tools.
M.R. Williams is advancing its IBM i modernization strategy with new mobile solutions and accounting system improvements, while leveraging IBM Bob to quickly interpret older RPG code, automate documentation, and streamline development workflows.
The tool works very well and captures the modernization intent. Bob is the first tool of its kind to treat Java as a first-class citizen
