Generative AI promises to accelerate IBM i development, but real-world experience reveals two major pitfalls: soaring costs caused by excessive token consumption, and hallucinations inherent to probabilistic LLMs—an unacceptable risk for mission-critical applications.

In this webinar, our experts will show you how to combine the best of both worlds: the power of generative AI with the reliability of ARCAD’s deterministic tools.

Agenda:

• The challenge: Why using AI alone on IBM i can be expensive and error-prone, and how a deterministic approach changes the game.
• Practical solutions: What an MCP server is, how AI skills work, and the real-world use cases for your development team.
• Live demo: See these capabilities in action on a real IBM i environment.

Reduce token costs, improve reliability, and discover how to industrialize AI on IBM i without falling into its common pitfalls.

Alan has been in support and promotion of the IBM i platform for over 30 years and is the Presales Consultant for DevOps on IBM i role with ARCAD Software. Prior to joining ARCAD Software, he spent many years in multiple roles within IBM from supporting customers through HA to DR to Application promotion to migrations of the IBM i to the cloud. In those roles, he saw first hand the pains many have with Application Lifecycle Management, modernization, and data protection. His passion in those areas fits right in with the ARCAD suite of products.
