Available now, IBM watsonx Assistant for Z is a new generative AI assistant that brings conversational AI and IT automation together to transform the way that ISV system programmers, IT operators, and developers of all experience levels engage with and manage the mainframe.
IBM watsonx Assistant for Z enhances IBM Z professionals’ productivity by putting decades of experience and best practices at your teams’ fingertips. This AI assistant is designed to simplify and optimize the execution of repeated tasks by codifying the knowledge of Z experts into a trusted set of automations that can be used by system programmers, operators, and developers of all experience levels. IBM watsonx Assistant for Z improves IBM Z users’ autonomy and confidence by providing accurate answers that help reduce the time to onboard early-tenure users and accelerate knowledge transfer from Z experts.
Built upon IBM watsonx Orchestrate and in partnership with IBM Research, watsonx Assistant for Z uses a chat-focused granite-13b-chat-v2 model. This model is an enterprise-level English-language model that is meticulously trained with an extensive dataset of over 2.5 trillion tokens, including IBM Z-specific content. The model is backed by a Z domain-specific retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), a technique that allows to augment large language models with knowledge from additional sources. The Z domain-specific RAG provides accurate answers and current information that leverages IBM Z domain-specific knowledge.
Join us for this session to discover how IBM is bringing the mainframe experience to a new level of simplification and modernization leveraging generative AI. Learn how AI and intelligent automation will help IBM Z talents reduce their IBM Z learning curve while increasing their efficiency to execute tasks with confidence and speed. Khadija Souissi, Principal Product Manager of AI for IBM Z, and Catherine Wu, Program Director of Db2 for z/OS Development and QA, will be on hand to answer your questions about using AI assistance to create conversational AI capabilities, and explain how automation underpinned with IBM Z can accomplish tasks more efficiently.
