bloop

bloop is an AI-driven tool focused on converting legacy COBOL code into readable and modifiable Java code. Designed to modernize outdated systems, it uses a combination of modern large language model (LLM) based approaches and compiler-based code conversion for ensuring accuracy. By automating this process, bloop not only saves time and resources but also allows engineering teams to focus on innovation rather than being bogged down by legacy code management.

The platform provides a structured pipeline which includes an initial environment survey, a proof-of-concept sprint, and a full system modernization. Our automatic translation applies correctness checks throughout the process to ensure safety and reliability. This results in Java code that not only matches the original COBOL program functionally, but is also readable and ready for further development.

Founded in New York and backed by Y-Combinator, bloop sets out to alleviate the burden of legacy code for businesses, empowering them to innovate faster and more efficiently.
