COBOT is an elite AI-powered modernization assistant specifically engineered for legacy systems. It doesn't just "chat"—it reasons, plans, and acts directly on your Mainframe codebase including COBOL, JCL, CICS, and DB2.
🚀 Key Features
Sense-Plan-Act Loop: COBOT doesn't just guess. It analyzes your files, creates a logical plan, executes changes, and validates the diagnostics.
Knowledge Graph Intelligence: Seamlessly upload a JSON knowledge graph of your entire application architecture to give COBOT a "brain" for deep relationship discovery.
Mainframe Mastery: Specialized knowledge in all COBOL divisions, EXEC CICS commands, DB2 SQL host variables, and complex JCL job cards.
Differentiated Context: Uses a hybrid Python-TypeScript engine to manage massive codebases without hitting LLM token limits.
