BotMan AI maps legacy code with knowledge graphs

BotMan AI maps legacy code with knowledge graphs

3 Key Points

  1. What happened

    BotMan AI's Alejandro D’Andrea said its migration pipeline maps an app's dependencies, business logic and data models in a knowledge graph, then fully autonomously rebuilds old code like Delphi, Visual Basic and Oracle Forms.

  2. Why it matters

    D’Andrea says the problem is no longer intelligence but context, so reusable graph context could cut the discovery work agents need before taking on migration or document tasks.

Context & Analysis

BotMan AI's pitch rests on the idea that modern AI models are capable enough, but they lack the business context needed to rebuild complex enterprise systems. Founder and CTO Alejandro D’Andrea describes a pipeline that ingests an entire legacy application at once, maps its dependencies, business rules and data models into a knowledge graph, and then rebuilds the application's architecture rather than merely translating old code line by line.

In his telling, the same graph can serve other tasks beyond migration. When a document arrives, relationships to projects, losses or lawsuits can be recorded once, and any agent later assigned a task can use that graph to find relevant information automatically. Linking unstructured information through entities — a person, project or product — is another way to recover context that would otherwise stay buried in separate messages and documents.

The interview was part of theCUBE + NYSE Wired: AI Luminaries, a series sponsored by Neo4j, with theCUBE acting as a paid media partner. That sponsorship is disclosed, and theCUBE says sponsors have no editorial control over its content.

FAQ
What kinds of legacy systems does BotMan AI target?
Alejandro D’Andrea cited Delphi, Visual Basic and Oracle Forms as examples of old code bases it migrates. The company says it rewrites the same system into a new architecture rather than just translating code.
How do knowledge graphs help AI agents beyond code migration?
D’Andrea said relationships can be created once when information enters the system, so any agent assigned a task can automatically know related documents and entities, such as a person, project or product. That reduces the discovery work needed for later queries.
Who sponsored the interview series?
TheCUBE + NYSE Wired: AI Luminaries interview series is sponsored by Neo4j. TheCUBE is a paid media partner and says sponsors have no editorial control.
