IBM Bob is an AI-assisted development tool designed to support developers across the software development lifecycle. It helps interpret developer intent and provides assistance when working with real-world codebases by using contextual awareness of the surrounding project.
Actually, Bob and Boblytics fit very well with this portfolio, which makes sense, and using Bob to orchestrate would allow those skills and agents to be deployed anywhere, whenever needed, in a real, secure, in-house manner, I would say.

From features perspective and the way it handles IBM i I really liked Bob compared Claude although it is a bit close. But overall cost perspective, Bob may come second

Depends on the use cases. I actually moved away from Cursor due to their version of Desktop mode (it interrupted my workflow). I think the auto model picker is the best in the game, but I would still like a manual option, and the version control is very robust, unlike the …

The others are all cheaper and are subscription based with 5 hour and weekly limits to a monthly subscription. With Bob it is purely Credits and it is very easy to run away and burn money. Since we are often doing task that may not need the same level of understanding and …

We evaluated Cursor alongside IBM Bob. Cursor is an excellent general-purpose AI development tool and is particularly strong for modern technologies such as Python, TypeScript, React, and APIs. However, IBM Bob was a better fit for our IBM i/Infinium environment because of its …

Actually, it's quite similar; I think that, by comparison-especially considering how long both have been on the market - IBM Bob is much more advanced. Ultimately, the reason for using it is that it integrates almost naturally with the IBM ecosystem we already use.

Similar. Sometimes Claude is better and sometimes IBM Bob is better. Together they can validate each others work.

Really good fit: - Getting started with IBM i development - Getting an overview of a process or program which you have never seen before - Teaching about general IBM i usage (but you have to ignore the edits of system values on the machine) Not good to use: - If you expect working and fully analyzed modernization projects - If you rely on the correctness of the code, because you don't understand the overall syntax of the language - Working with column based RPG II code - Working on very complex systems

Would like to see more personalization capabilities. Bob does a good job reading code and adapting to a given style, but there should be more specific personalization settings.
A more detailed understanding of how Bobcoins are spent would be welcome. This will help adapt to more efficient prompting.

IBM Bob functions well with its IDE. The interface is very versatile and configurable. But "out of the box" it is already very useful. And being able to specify which mode of operation it should use (ask, design, etc.) helps your focus and helps to tailor IBM Bob to the function you want it to perform, instead of having to write it all out in prompts.
