IBM
Application
Protects enterprise data across AI agents, applications and endpoints against agentic-AI, regulatory and post-quantum risks.
Full-stack application and infrastructure observability powered by agentic AI, including automatic discovery/mapping of GenAI workflows and AI-driven Smart Alerts to reduce alert fatigue.
AI-driven robotic process automation for building intelligent bots that automate business processes, with AI-embedded resilience built into the RPA runtime.
Visual data-science and machine-learning platform for building predictive models, with advanced algorithms, model deployment and open-source framework integration.
Document intelligence platform using OCR, NLP enrichments (entity/sentiment/emotion/category extraction) and LLM integration to automate information discovery from enterprise documents.
Developer tool
An AI coding agent that automates planning, code generation, review and verification across the software development lifecycle, including IBM Z mainframe modernization workflows.
A generative AI assistant for IBM Z mainframe application discovery, code generation, refactoring and modernization.
Sourcegraph
Application
Tracks metrics across every repository an organisation has — migration progress, dependency versions, code health — computed from the same search index Code Search uses.
A retrieval layer built to answer questions about a codebase at scale, feeding an AI agent the context it needs to reason across every repository.
Developer tool
Searches and edits code across every repository an organisation has.
