Yes, i Can: Modernizing RPG Applications with AI and Real-Time Analytics
Step into the future of IBM i development by learning how to enhance your RPG applications with artificial intelligence and real-time, graphical dashboard monitoring capabilities. This demo-driven session showcases a complete modern development stack that combines the power of AI with industry-standard observability tools. Watch as we rapidly transform a traditional RPG application using AI-based code generators into an observable system that can process natural language commands and provide real-time business insights through dashboards.
Through practical demonstrations, you’ll see how to:
- Integrate AI capabilities directly into your RPG applications
- Process natural language commands for order processing
- Generate new RPG code using AI assistance
- Instrument your applications for real-time monitoring
- Create dynamic dashboards using Grafana
- Track key business metrics and performance indicators
- Set up automated alerts and notifications
We’ll walk through a real-world scenario of modernizing an order processing system, demonstrating how to add AI-powered text message processing while simultaneously monitoring order volumes, transaction values, and system performance through custom dashboards. You’ll learn how to leverage both AI and open-source monitoring tools to create a fully modern development environment for your IBM i applications.
