With agentic workflows, built-in security and enterprise-grade deployment flexibility, Bob doesn’t just automate tasks – it transforms the entire software development lifecycle.

From modernization projects to new application builds, Bob makes development smarter, safer and more efficient.

What makes Bob different?

Think of Bob as your AI-first IDE and pair developer: a tool that understands your intent, your codebase and your organization’s standards.

Understands your intent: Switch into Architect Mode to scope and design complex systems or collaborate in Code Mode to move fast and iterate efficiently.

Understands your repo: Bob reads your codebase, modernizes frameworks, refactors at scale and re-platforms with full context.

Understands your standards: With built-in expertise for FedRAMP, HIPAA and PCI, Project Bob helps you deliver secure, production-ready code every time.

Enterprise-ready capabilities

Bob goes beyond code suggestions with features designed for real-world enterprise development:

Agentic workflows: Bob breaks down complex tasks and coordinates specialized agents across code, tests, documentation, and pipelines—ensuring improvements ripple across your entire repo.

IBM Bob is transforming how software is developed and modernized across the enterprise. As an AI-powered developer partner, Bob empowers developers of all skill levels to accelerate innovation, boost productivity, and modernize applications with ease.

Whether you’re working in Java, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, C++, Kotlin, Bash, or even legacy languages like RPG, COBOL and PL/SQL, Bob adapts to your environment and coding style.

Why Bob Stands Out

Powered by the right model for the task, Bob intelligently selects the best model for each task. Agentic capabilities allow Bob to take initiative, suggest improvements, and anticipate issues.

Extensive IDE integration across MacOS, Windows, and Linux. Developer Joy: Bob isn’t just efficient – it’s fun to work with. Developers describe it as “light years ahead” of other tools.

Bob is your AI software development partner that understands your intent, repo, and security standards.
