Bring AI assistance to integration development

App Connect Flow Pilot brings AI-assisted integration development to App Connect Toolkit and external integrated development environments (IDEs), including Visual Studio Code. It works with enterprise-approved AI assistants such as IBM Bob™ and GitHub Copilot. It helps integration developers understand existing integration flows and transformation logic written in ESQL and Java™. Developers can then plan, build and maintain integrations faster while adhering to organizational standards, security policies and governance requirements.

Features

How it works

Generate integration artifacts with prompts

Create integration flows, mappings and other artifacts from natural language prompts. Reduce manual development effort and accelerate delivery by transforming business requirements into implementation-ready integration assets with AI-assisted authoring.

Use cases

Apply AI assistance across the integration lifecycle

Modernize long-running integration estates

Accelerate the modernization of long-standing integration solutions by helping teams understand existing flows, transformation logic and dependencies. Reduce the effort required to analyze legacy assets, update implementations and extend integrations while protecting existing business investments.

Standardize development across teams and centers of excellence (COEs)

Help architects and COE leaders establish consistent integration practices across projects and teams. Embed guidance for naming conventions, logging, error handling, reusable patterns and development standards to improve quality and governance.

Scale AI-assisted development with confidence

Enable teams to adopt AI-assisted integration development through enterprise-approved AI assistants while maintaining organizational controls. Support existing review processes, governance requirements and security policies without disrupting established development practices.

Clear integration backlogs and delivery bottlenecks

Reduce delivery delays by helping developers create, update and troubleshoot integration assets more efficiently. Use AI-assisted authoring and guidance to accelerate routine development tasks, improve productivity and help teams address growing integration backlogs.

Accelerate the entire integration lifecycle

Receive AI-assisted guidance from initial planning through development, maintenance, modernization and troubleshooting. Help teams deliver integrations faster, resolve issues more efficiently and continuously improve existing integration assets across their lifecycle.
