Build with Bob.

Discover IBM Technology Building Blocks and explore how they can accelerate innovation across your organization. We'll break down the core components, discuss how they fit together, and introduce Bob — your dedicated build partner who will guide you from strategy to execution, helping you design, prototype, and scale solutions with confidence.

Learn how to quickly build and deploy a custom AI agent using IBM Technology Building Blocks. We'll create a Smart Pet Grooming Manager agent — showing how even niche ideas become real, working solutions in minutes — and see how the agent automatically generates business use case documentation to clearly articulate value from the start.

Learn how to generate insights for Application Observability and Resilience using IBM Technology Building Blocks. We'll build a real-time observability dashboard for a retail application, extend it with resilience automation to detect failures, and show how the solution generates actionable insights, operational documentation, and resilience reports — enabling teams to proactively manage incidents from day one.

Leverage Bob to create product knowledge, an MCP server built from existing building blocks to load it into a vector database, and a dynamic RAG pipeline that generates actionable retail product insights — powered by the RAG Accelerator and MCP server building blocks.

Join us for an end-to-end walkthrough of how to leverage Bob and building blocks to take an agentic solution from idea to production across the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). You'll see how to move from explore and design, to architect the solution, and then build and deploy intelligent agents, with testing, production readiness, and continuous monitoring built in throughout. We'll show how Bob streamlines this journey, enabling faster experimentation, scalable development, reliable deployment, and full operational visibility for modern agentic applications.

Join us to explore how Bob helps modernize and optimize automation scripts in IBM Maximo Application Suite. In this session, we'll demonstrate how Bob can analyze existing Maximo automation scripts, identify issues and warnings, simplify complex logic, improve maintainability, and accelerate modernization using AI-assisted development approaches. You'll see how Bob helps reduce manual effort, enhance script quality, optimize performance, and rapidly implement enhancements while following modern development best practices. The session will also highlight how Bob streamlines script transformation, accelerates delivery timelines, and improves developer productivity across Maximo customization projects.

Join us to explore how Bob brings Planning Analytics intelligence into budgeting, forecasting, and enterprise planning workflows. We'll demonstrate how Bob uses natural language to discover, ingest, and analyze data — letting users create custom analytical views, perform variance and impact analysis, identify outliers, and generate executive-ready reports without deep technical expertise. You'll see how Bob simplifies TM1 modeling and multidimensional analysis through a unified conversational experience, reducing manual effort and accelerating insight generation.

Join us to explore how Bob brings real-time supply chain risk intelligence into operations, procurement, and executive decision-making workflows. In this session, we'll demonstrate how Bob leverages a Confluent Cloud streaming architecture to intelligently detect, score, and act on supply chain disruptions as they happen — no deep data engineering expertise required.

Join us to discover the next generation of IBM Bob, rebuilt with a new Agent Harness that delivers faster performance, greater transparency, and a more intuitive user experience. In this session, we'll demonstrate how the redesigned interface provides deeper visibility into Bob's reasoning, while new multi-tasking capabilities let users spawn parallel Bob runs and leverage concurrent tool execution and subagent orchestration to complete work more efficiently. We'll also explore improved token handling that enables Bob to work on larger, more complex tasks without running into context window limits, along with a streamlined approval experience that gives users greater control with fewer interruptions.

Join us to see how Bob brings real-time road intelligence to connected vehicles—without requiring a team of data engineers. In this session, we'll demonstrate how Bob uses a Confluent Cloud streaming architecture to collect, process, and act on road condition data in real time, enabling vehicles to adjust their suspension before they reach the next pothole. We'll walk through the complete pipeline—from a Python telemetry producer, through Apache Flink SQL stream processing, to real-time suspension recommendations and a live road-quality dashboard. Whether you're an architect, developer, or product leader, you'll see how Bob makes it possible to deploy a production-grade streaming solution in minutes using Terraform, with no deep Kafka expertise required.

Join us to explore how Bob and reusable technology building blocks can create an intelligent knowledge context for asset management. Bob brings together asset criticality, failure history, work orders, and maintenance plans with OEM manuals, SOPs, and engineering knowledge. Using AI, the solution identifies assets that need attention, detects recurring reliability issues, and highlights potential maintenance gaps. Bob then helps translate those insights into evidence-based, prioritized maintenance actions so teams can improve asset reliability and make faster, more informed decisions.

Join us to see how CloudAstra, an IBM Business Partner, uses Bob to deploy a secure, highly available healthcare application on IBM Cloud. We'll walk through a real-world solution spanning IBM Verify for API and UI authentication, IBM Cloud Internet Services for reliability, security, and DNS, Vault for secrets management, Kafka for request management, watsonx Orchestrate as the agent platform, Instana for observability, and Red Hat OpenShift for highly available application hosting — including integrations with critical healthcare systems such as EHR/EMR.
