DescriptionModerniseAI by bloop leverages artificial intelligence to convert legacy COBOL code into readable Java, offering functional equivalence, safety, and cost savings through open source libraries. The service ensures the converted code is easy to modify and extend without refactoring, making it ideal for meeting tight deadlines. With built-in correctness checks, ModerniseAI guarantees safer code translation than manual rewrites. The process includes an initial survey, proof-of-concept, and full-modernisation, supported by a dedicated research lab focused on AI and programming languages.Metabob is an advanced AI-driven tool designed specifically for developers to streamline the code review process, refactoring, and debugging. Utilizing graph neural networks (GNNs) along with large language models (LLMs), Metabob detects complex coding problems such as race conditions, memory leaks, and unhandled edge cases. It provides crystal-clear explanations and recommendations for fixes, enhancing software performance and security. With integrations across platforms like Visual Studio Code, GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, Metabob offers unparalleled accuracy and convenience for development teams.
