Tune in Thursday August 27th to Dive deep with AI experts at the Free Virtual Event

Learn more about IBM Bob, the AI-powered development tool for enterprise developers that can plan, execute, validate and govern multi-step modernization tasks across the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Bob brings AI together with agentic orchestration to actively drive complex development workflows directly within the IDE.


Join us August 27th for a no-cost event offering Bob expertise to prepare you for the hackathon and a chance to win a trip to the TechXchange Conference in Atlanta, GA October 26-29, 2026. Bob experts focused on next generation resources for AI builders using IBM i and IBM Z are featured in two simultaneous tracks following the hackathon enablement session.

Apply your learning and compete in the Hackathon

Build with purpose using IBM Bob 2.0

Create a solution that improves a specific developer workflow, such as onboarding, debugging, code review, testing, application maintenance, or release and deployment processes. Start by clearly defining a problem where time, effort, or errors are too high today. Then, using IBM Bob 2.0, build a working prototype on a real or sample project that demonstrates a full solution to improve the specified workflow. Leverage features like Agent mode, parallel tasks, subagents, and document understanding to manage and improve multiple steps, not just assist with coding. Clearly demonstrate impact by showing how your solution increases productivity, reduces manual effort, errors, and rework, or significantly shortens the time required to complete tasks.
