The Documentation That Grades It's Own Homework

IBM Bob Adds Multi-Agent AI and IBM i Modernization Workflows


Multi-agent coordination and pre-built modernization workflows that explicitly include IBM i make this announcement directly relevant to the tools landing on your desk.

What's Your AI Readiness Strategy?


Before you ask what your AI strategy is, host Greg Schmidt argues you should ask whether you're even ready for one.


This episode lays out a five-layer AI readiness framework for IBM i organizations built around trusted data, security, operational control, workflow management, and governance, and walks through why AI initiatives stall without that foundation in place.


Practical listening if your team is weighing where AI actually belongs in your environment.
