Legacy Modernization · Automated Legacy Code Analysis & Documentation
AI agents read, map, and document your entire legacy codebase.
Before a single line of new code is written, our AI agents ingest your entire legacy codebase — regardless of language or age. They produce comprehensive documentation, entity-relationship diagrams, and extract business rules buried in decades-old procedural code.

Codebase mapped
Every line of legacy code is analyzed and mapped for dependencies.
Days
Not months
What used to take months of manual archaeology is completed rapidly.

FAQ
Asked first, every time.
Don't see yours here? Send us the question — a principal engineer will reply within 24 hours.
Yes. Code is ingested into secure, isolated environments. We do not use your proprietary codebase to train public AI models. We can use enterprise, self-hosted LLM instances if required.
Virtually any legacy language: COBOL, RPG, VB6, Delphi, PowerBuilder, FoxPro, Classic ASP, older versions of Java/C#, and complex legacy SQL stored procedures.
You receive a complete "Modernization Blueprint" which includes entity-relationship diagrams, API/dependency maps, extracted business logic specifications, and a recommended target architecture.
Yes. Some clients hire us purely for the AI Code Analysis phase to generate documentation for their internal teams to use during their own modernization efforts.
