SUMMARY:Catapult Your z/OS Application Development Experience From Legacy 
 to Legendary With VS Code Agent Mode and the Model Context Protocol
DESCRIPTION:Peter Haumer (IBM)\n\nIn 2026, building enterprise application
 s without artificial intelligence is like choosing a horse-drawn carriage 
 in the age of high-speed rail. The complexity of modern systems and the de
 mand for rapid innovation require tools that not only assist—but accelerat
 e—development. Large language models (LLMs) from IBM and other vendors hav
 e been trained on foundational enterprise languages like COBOL, PL/I, High
 -Level Assembler, and REXX, transforming them into powerful productivity e
 ngines for even the most experienced developers.\n\nBut the real breakthro
 ugh comes with the emergence of the Model Context Protocol—a new standard 
 adopted by leading vendors that supercharges LLMs by giving them contextua
 l awareness of your development environment. In this session, we’ll demons
 trate how to unlock the full potential of AI-assisted development by conne
 cting your LLM to VS Code and its z/OS extensions. You’ll see how simple i
 t is to ask your AI to use Zowe to locate data set members, retrieve spool
  files, open UNIX System Services files, or diagnose issues directly from 
 your Problems view. We’ll also show how it can analyze logs, resolve missi
 ng copybooks, and even assist with pipeline integration—all through natura
 l language. Join us to discover how AI, combined with contextual protocols
  and modern tooling, is reshaping enterprise software development for the 
 next generation.\n\nTrack: DevOps\n\nFocus Area: Application Development\n
