Modernize Java apps with AI | OD871
Microsoft's GitHub Copilot app modernization extension uses agentic AI to upgrade legacy Java apps.
“94% of executives say that AI is critical, but unfortunately only 28% have scaled pilots into production.”
Microsoft introduced a video series demonstrating the GitHub Copilot app modernization extension as an agentic tool for upgrading legacy Java applications, covering assessment, framework upgrades, database migration, and containerization. It frames modernization as the bridge across the AI 'execution gap' where only 28% of AI pilots reach production. The signal is a practical product showcase rather than a major strategic or research announcement.
