Our take
Hi Dotikers!
The mainframes aren't dead. They still run in the majority of large global enterprises and handle their most critical operations. Kyndryl just announced new services that combine their mainframe expertise with AI agents to accelerate development and automate infrastructure management.
The context speaks for itself: according to their 2025 survey, 88% of respondents have already implemented or plan to implement AI on their mainframes. The expected gains? $12.7 billion in cost savings and $19.5 billion in additional revenue over 3 years.
The problem with mainframes today: 70% of companies struggle to find qualified talent. Experts are retiring, young devs don't want to touch COBOL, and technical debt keeps piling up.
Kyndryl's solution is built on two pillars. First, an "AI Assistant for Z" that encapsulates decades of mainframe expertise into an AI knowledge base. In practice, instead of needing a senior expert to diagnose a problem, the agent can guide less experienced teams. Second, autonomous agents capable of proactively managing incidents, optimizing resources, and automating application lifecycle management, all integrated into their Kyndryl Bridge platform.
AI agents are no longer limited to new cloud-native stacks. They're now tackling critical legacy systems, where the core business of large enterprises actually runs. For companies that were hesitant to modernize due to risk concerns, this is a less brutal entry point than a complete migration.
