In March, an AI agent wiped 1.9 million rows from a production database. Backups included.

Every command it ran was technically correct. It just had no idea it was operating on a live system, because that knowledge existed only in the engineer's head.

No governance layer.
No approval gate.
Nothing between the agent and production.
This is the part of the agentic coding conversation that doesn't get enough airtime.

Business users will automate their own processes, whether IT is involved or not. The tools exist. The pressure to reduce manual effort is real. The question is whether IT is in the loop when it happens, or finds out six months later that a critical workflow has been running through an ungoverned AI tool nobody approved.

CoderFlow keeps automation inside IT's control from the start. Isolated containers. Scoped access. Every action logged. Approval gates before anything touches production.

IT builds it. IT controls it. That's the only model that doesn't create a bigger problem than it solves.

A bank was waiting 4 to 8 weeks every time it needed a service change. Paying premium rates to its core banking vendor for the privilege. Watching competitors ship new products while it sat in a queue.

After implementing Profound API: 8 weeks to 45 minutes. 2,000 transactions per second. Revenue up 23%. Full independence from the vendor.

The IBM i infrastructure was capable of all of it the entire time. The only thing missing was a way to expose what was inside it.

That's the API story most IBM i organizations haven't gotten to yet. Decades of refined business logic sitting behind green screens and batch processes, inaccessible to the cloud services, AI platforms, and partner systems the rest of the business is trying to connect.

Profound API turns Db2 data, RPG programs, and ILE procedures into RESTful APIs, without months of custom development. Visual, low-code, and live in hours.

Your IBM i isn't the bottleneck. Inaccessibility is. See how Profound API works: https://hubs.la/Q04kX1d20

Van-Kam Freightways has run on IBM i for 35 years. And they're not replacing it. They're building on it.

📱 Android tablets on forklifts are replacing paper at cross-dock facilities.
📝 A custom smartphone app for drivers is eliminating paper manifests and hard-copy delivery receipts.
🌳 E-signatures drastically reduce paper across the operation.
🖥️ And a fully digital real-time equipment tracking system replacing the wall-mounted whiteboards that were never quite accurate.

None of it touched the core IBM i systems. All of it made daily operations meaningfully better.

That's what a phased, coexistent futurization strategy actually looks like in practice, not a transformation announcement, just a series of targeted improvements that compound over time.

The question most IBM i transformation projects start with is, how do we make this less of a liability?

It's the wrong question, and it produces predictable results. You close some technical debt. You refresh an interface or two. The platform stabilizes. A few years later, the same conversation starts again.

Futurization starts from a different place entirely. Not "how do we reduce the liability" but "how do we turn what we have into a genuine competitive asset." That's a different investment thesis, and it leads somewhere different.

The IBM i organizations we've seen come out ahead weren't the ones that managed their way to a smaller liability. They were the ones that figured out how to make IBM i the foundation for what came next: AI readiness, modern API architecture, application transformation, and a development environment their broader team could actually engage with.

The platform supports all of it. The question is whether your roadmap is asking for it.

What question is your organization starting from right now? Genuinely curious — drop it in the comments.

Walk through any IBM i shop, and you'll find them. The order validation process someone runs manually every morning. The report that gets pulled, formatted, and emailed on a schedule that hasn't changed in twelve years. The reconciliation routine that one person on the team knows how to execute, and that nobody else has ever been trained on.

These workflows persist not because nonone wants to automate them. They persist because automating them properly requires development resources already committed to higher-priority work.

CoderFlow changes that equation. IT sets up the agent, defines what programs it can call, controls the access and authority levels, and maintains full governance. The agent handles the workflow end to end. Every action is logged. Nothing touches production without an approval gate.

Business users get the automation they've been waiting for.
IT stays in control of how it happens.

That's the right order of operations, and it's the only one that doesn't create problems six months later.

One of the things you hear from IBM i leadership teams more than almost anything else: "we can't afford to disrupt our 24/7 operations, but we also can't afford to fall behind."

That tension is real. And for a long time, there wasn't a clean answer to it.

A global logistics leader, one of the largest transportation networks in the world, faced exactly that situation. Decades of refined routing algorithms and business logic running on IBM i. Mission-critical systems that processed millions of transactions without incident. And an aging technology stack that was becoming a barrier to the new capabilities the business needed.

What they didn't want was a rip-and-replace project. What they needed was a way to futurize without the operational risk that comes with it.

Profound AppDev's coexistence model gave them that.

Legacy and futurized systems running in parallel. Transformation at the program level, not the platform level. Green screens becoming modern web interfaces.. New capabilities built while the RPG underneath kept running. Every layer unified under a single web-based navigation layer.

The result?
💥 ZERO operational disruption.
💥 A development team empowered with low-code capabilities, which they adopted quickly.
💥 A foundation for AI and IoT integration that didn't exist before.

There's a number that doesn't get talked about enough in IBM i circles. 11,400 baby boomers reach retirement age every single day.

The average RPG developer is in their mid-to-late fifties. The pipeline of developers entering the field with real IBM i expertise is not keeping pace with the ones leaving it.

Most technology leaders know this. What many haven't fully reckoned with is what actually leaves when a veteran IBM i developer walks out the door.

Agentic coding changes the math here in a specific way. CoderFlow agents can systematically work through an application portfolio, analyzing RPG and COBOL programs, surfacing embedded business rules, mapping dependencies, and generating documentation while the people who can validate it are still there. Then, with that institutional knowledge encoded in the Skills system, a smaller team can do what previously required a much larger one.

That's not a replacement for the people leaving. Nothing is. But it changes what the people who remain can accomplish.

Witra Logistics & LERROS Moden needed to double its daily processing capacity. They also needed to not blow up the IBM i environment that their entire operation ran on.

They went from 6,000 to 12,000 SKUs processed per day. Delivery times dropped.

New logistics clients can now be onboarded faster. And the IBM Power i platform kept running exactly as it always had. The integration layer was Profound API connecting a high-tech automated sorting system, 250-plus cartons per run, real-time sensors, laser controls, to IBM i through REST interfaces.

No migration. No cutover risk. A modular architecture that was designed from the start to grow.

"We've been helping our customers solve a multitude of requirements, from adding new functionality, to building APIs, to including AI into their workflows." — Marc Ramus, Task Force IT-Solutions, Profound Logic Futurization Alliance Member

40% reduction in new employee training time.
35% faster delivery of new features.
50% drop in defect rates.
Deploys that went from weeks to days.

These are outcomes from a real manufacturing futurization engagement. A company with decades of RPG business logic, a shrinking developer pool, and users stuck on green screens.
They didn't rip and replace. They futurized.

Automated code conversion from RPG and DDS to JavaScript. Modern web interfaces built on top of existing business logic. A phased rollout where both systems ran simultaneously. The multi-million-dollar full system replacement they were dreading never happened.

The codebase is now platform-agnostic. They can move to cloud, Linux, or Windows when the business calls for it, without another major conversion. That path is already built.

Something we kept running into with agentic screen development? The agent could only produce what the widget library allowed. That's a real ceiling.

Large language models are trained on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — that's the language they reason in fluently. Ask one to produce a screen inside a proprietary component palette, and the output gets inconsistent. More prompting. More corrections. The productivity gain is there, but it's partial.

Agentic Display Files change the architecture. Agents now write screens directly in EJS, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript; no widget constraints, no proprietary overhead.

The RPG program underneath doesn't move. The Open Access handler doesn't change. What changes is that the agent is working in a language it knows deeply, which means the screens it produces actually match what the business needs rather than what the palette can express.

Responsive layout comes standard. Multiple design directions are possible because the agent isn't constrained to a single output style. And for teams with existing DDS display files, agents can read the field structure and screen logic, then rebuild the interface cleanly as an Agentic Display File, every field preserved, RPG untouched.

It's a small architectural shift with a meaningful practical effect on what futurization can actually deliver. See how it works: https://hubs.la/Q04jlT-r0
