Meet Bob: Your AI-Powered Dev Partner

Whether you're working in Java, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, C++, Kotlin, Bash, or even legacy languages like RPG, COBOL and PL/SQL, Bob adapts to your environment and coding style. Integrated directly into your IDE, Bob provides context-aware assistance, code explanations, test generation, and documentation support, making it a true end-to-end development partner.

IBM Bobathon

Join us at IBM York Road for a practical introduction to IBM Bob, where we will show you how Bob can be applied within your business—without requiring deep technical expertise.

This workshop is designed for line of business and operational leaders who want a clear, practical introduction to Bob—focused on real outcomes rather than technical complexity.

By attending you will:

• Understand how IBM Bob enhances software development by taking on repetitive tasks, simplifying complex engineering workflows, and freeing teams to focus on higher‑value work. 
• See how using Bob, both business users and technical teams can generate, review, and scale code assistance within a single platform — making it easier to build, improve, and manage development activities end‑to‑end.
• Take part in a guided, hands-on taster of IBM Bob, working with problem statement from your business to see how Bob can quickly build applications to improve inefficient processes and workflows.
• Learn how using Bob, we can govern and evolve applications safely
