AI and DevOps on IBM i
A Smart Change Management Foundation for AI and DevOps
AI is transforming software development — including in the IBM i world. But AI-generated code is only as effective as the processes that govern it. Without disciplined change management, automated testing, and deployment controls, AI can increase risk just as quickly as it increases productivity. A smart change management foundation for AI and DevOps lessens the risk to your critical business applications.

Midrange Dynamics software easily accommodates IBM Project Bob and AI code assistants that plug into VS Code-based IDEs. Midrange Dynamics publishes its VS Code extensions to the Open VSX Registry and Microsoft’s official Visual Studio Marketplace. It also works well with Cursor and Windsurf, two AI-powered IDEs that are popular among IBM i shops and published on Open VSX.
