As an industry, we're facing an uncomfortable truth: legacy code is bigger than all the developers in the world combined.

For decades, we built solutions that today remain CORE for many companies. Systems born in the 80s or 90s, with technologies such as Visual Basic 6, WebClass ASP or monoliths that still hold millions in transactions today.

Modernizing these systems is a titanic challenge. And it will be even more so in the coming years. Even with all the available human strength we couldn't do it in time.

Artificial Intelligence and Agents: From Copilot to Pilot

Tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor or Windsurf have shown us that artificial intelligence can accelerate development. We feel braver, more productive, and more capable... But that feeling is not enough. We need AI to stop being an assistant and become a protagonist.

It's not just about improving developer efficiency. In reality, it's about rethinking how we approach software modernization. What if the human transitions to a copilot role? Agentic AI is the answer to that question: an AI that can take the initiative to manage complex tasks. What if we start designing processes where these AI agents can take charge of the most complex, technical and repetitive work?

A Clever Perspective

At CleverIT, we recognize that tackling this problem requires a new mindset, driven by Agentic AI. It's not just migrating code. It is to transform with intelligence, taking care of business processes and enabling new capabilities without interruption. We're exploring ways to integrate AI throughout the modernization lifecycle: from understanding old systems to generating modern code, automated documentation, and early risk detection.

Our commitment is to a sustainable and continuous transformation, where strategic decisions are made by humans, but execution is enhanced with artificial intelligence.

Legacy code isn't going away on its own. And the time to face it, with intelligence, is now.
