MONO-X Inc. and IGUAZU Inc. will begin offering “i-Cross API for AI Agent,” an AI agent development support tool for IBM i, and “PVS One for AI Agent,” which is based on the agent park concept and allows AI agent development in a cloud environment, in order to promote the efficiency of system development using AI agents such as “IBM Bob”.
Current state of IBM i development and the impact of AI agent-driven “IBM Bob”
Companies that use IBM i (AS/400) as their core systems face the following challenges:
The existing system was difficult to understand and the lack of documentation for the legacy RPG/COBOL programs meant that the core system had become a black box.
It is difficult to develop personnel who are familiar with the business and the system.
The time and effort required to acquire IBM i-specific knowledge is significant, preventing the transfer of skills to younger generations. Understanding the relationship between business processes and existing systems is a very high hurdle.

We want to utilize the latest technology in our business, but we face challenges in integrating it with existing systems and acquiring the necessary skills.
For IBM i users facing these challenges, AI agents are a very important technology for eliminating black box and personalization.
By utilizing AI agents, even non-experts can efficiently perform the following tasks:
– Analysis of the current system, including actual business processes
・System design, program development
・Creating test plans and executing tests
・Creating system specifications
– Creation of educational content
This will enable you to continue using IBM i with peace of mind in the future while maintaining ownership of the scratch development of core systems, which is the source of your competitive advantage.
