How to use Generative AI for App Modernization

Legacy applications runs mission critical applications in almost every organization. There are opportunities for lots of performance gains and cost savings, but refactoring these older applications is difficult work. Well, it may be getting a little easier. In this video Martin Keen walks through six ways generative AI can help, like creating documentation, reverse engineering, code generation.

Hot topic! Hottest topic for real world right now. I'd like more on talking to data especially databases as migrate. Is like a fantasy I had while STRUGGLING especially with databases or talking across apps. Good topic.

Excellent !!!! do you have a link on ibm where we can see this in depth?

Does Gen AI have a practical application in reverse engineering old spaghetti code? When I posed this question to both ChatGPT and Claude, they both responded in the negative. The question is asked both was the following: "If I were to say that there is a way that we can create a Knowledge Base and store embeddings formed from documentations about industry specific domain features, functionalities, user scenarios and all of these augmented by any documentation associated with the legacy code (if available) we are trying to reverse-engineer, then would it be possible to achieve the objective of deciphering functional requirements that can be used to redesign a new system that replaces the legacy system?"

Guys I think seeing is believing. These board sessions are nice to explain difficult topics but some topics are better to be demonstrated...So make half a video practical demo and then explain on a board how it was done...

Thanks! Great topic I’ve been doing this in my home with my locally built models. Like this comment and keep it at the top. Help me find a job in AI! 🎉

Coder does lifting until weight lifted but then weight needs lifting again. Have a kit kat.

It's all fun and games until we automate our way out of jobs. lol
