  • Fujitsu automates COBOL documentation, cutting analysis time by 97%
  • The system generates design documents without requiring deep programming expertise
  • Knowledge Graph retrieval reduces hallucinations and improves documentation completeness

Fujitsu has introduced a new generative AI service which analyzes COBOL and other legacy source code, automatically producing design documents in minutes rather than hours.

The system can operate and automatically produce design documents without expert knowledge, reducing reliance on specialized human programmers.
