IBM Bob is making a lot of headlines, and many developers and decision-makers are asking themselves: When does IBM Bob make sense, and when doesn’t it? What should you keep in mind when using it? What are the costs involved? What data is processed, and where? What else is out there? What alternatives are available, and what do they look like? And so on. <\/p>

In our online event \u201cTo Bob or Not to Bob,\u201d we’ll address all these topics and questions.<\/p>

My team and I attended the world\u2019s largest IBM i event, Common PowerUp 26 in New Orleans, during the last week of April.There, Bob & Co. was THE hot topic alongside Visual Studio Code for IBM i.<\/p>

Find out firsthand what\u2019s new with Bob.<\/p>

The AI team at i and me has been working intensively for years with a wide variety of AI tools and areas of AI.<\/p>

In doing so, we have already created numerous custom solutions, developed various tools, and tested numerous tools on the market.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
