What a video game taught us about AI and modernizing core systems

What happens when a non-developer spends a day with an AI trained on 50 years of IBM platform code? Ensono's Director of Solution Architecture found out — and built a video game to prove it.

At a recent IBM Bobathon, Steve Veitch used IBM Bob to create a fully working 3D game in a single day. No development background. No months of planning. Just a prompt-driven AI and a willingness to push it to its limits.

But what he discovered along the way is the real story. AI will keep producing plausible-looking output for as long as you ask it to — and that's both its greatest strength and its biggest risk. The lesson for any organization running mission-critical IBM Power or mainframe systems? Speed without expertise isn't enough.

Read how the combination of IBM Bob and Ensono's deep modernization expertise is transforming what's possible — turning what used to be multi-year modernization programs into something you can actually deliver with confidence and speed.
