## Reviews

### "Great for legacy code, still needs a human eye" — 4.0/5

> **Farhan** | *9 October 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The biggest thing for me is that Bob actually gets the context of the project. Most AI coding tools I’ve tried just look at the file you’re in and give you something generic. Bob looks at how everything connects, so when we were working on our Maximo customizations the suggestions actually made sense for our setup.&#10;&#10;It’s also been really useful on older code. We had some scripts nobody wanted to touch because the original developers were long gone. Bob walked through them, explained what they were doing, and wrote decent documentation along the way. That alone saved us a lot of time.&#10;&#10;I also like that it’s not just for writing code. We use it for testing and documentation too, so the team isn’t jumping between five different tools.&#10;&#10;And since most of our work is in the IBM world, it just fits in better than the other options we looked at.
> 
> **Cons**: It’s clearly built with IBM tech in mind, which is great for us most of the time, but when we stepped outside that world it wasn’t as strong. Some languages and frameworks felt like they got less attention.&#10;&#10;It also gets things wrong sometimes. Not often, but every now and then it will suggest something that looks right and isn’t, so you still need someone experienced reviewing the output. I wouldn’t hand it to a junior dev and walk away.&#10;&#10;The pricing took some getting used to. Keeping track of usage with the Bobcoins wasn’t very intuitive at first, and it was hard to predict what a month would cost us.&#10;&#10;There’s also a bit of a learning curve to get the most out of it. It took the team a few weeks to figure out the best way to work with it.
> 
> Overall it’s been a good experience. We brought Bob in mainly to speed up development work and help with some older code that had been sitting around for years, and it did both.&#10;&#10;The first couple of weeks were a bit of an adjustment while the team figured out how to work with it. Once we got the hang of it, though, it became part of the daily routine. The guys use it for everything from understanding unfamiliar code to writing tests and docs, and it’s saved us a good amount of time.&#10;&#10;It’s not perfect. You still have to check what it gives you, and the pricing model could be simpler. But for a team that works mostly in the IBM ecosystem, it’s one of the more practical AI tools we’ve used. I’d recommend it, just go in knowing it’s a helper and not a replacement for experienced people.
