# Event Details - **Event Name**: Build Smarter with IBM Bob: An Evening of AI-Powered Engineering - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 14 Jul, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Tue, 14 Jul, 2026 at 07:30 pm - **Event Description**: See IBM Bob in action — agentic AI for software development, from architecture to defect detection. ➡️Live demos + hands-on exploration.About this EventAI After Hours | Huntsville's Monthly AI MeetupAn X Networking Initiative | Huntsville, Alabama--------------------IBM’s agentic AI goes beyond code suggestions — come see it in action, then try it yourself.Join us for an applied, no-fluff interactive evening exploring , an agentic AI platform designed to support software teams across the full development lifecycle. This session will move beyond hype and into implementation.IBM Bob is built to assist with architecture, development workflows, defect detection, legacy modernization, documentation, and more — helping engineering teams move faster, catch issues earlier, and reduce the cognitive load that comes with complex technical work.Led by the IBM team, this live, hands-on session will show what agentic AI looks like inside real software engineering workflows. Attendees will see practical demonstrations, hear how teams are applying Bob in real-world environments, and then get the opportunity to explore the tool themselves.--------------------Whether you write code every day or want to understand what AI-powered engineering looks like in practice, this session is designed to be accessible, practical, and highly relevant. No prior experience with AI tools is required.--------------------➡️What You’ll ExperienceA live demonstration of IBM Bob in actionA practical look at how agentic AI supports the software development lifecycleExamples beyond code completion, including architecture, defect detection, and modernizationHands-on exploration so you can try Bob for yourselfReal discussion about where AI is headed in software engineeringGuidance from the IBM team on how teams are using AI to improve technical workflows--------------------➡️ Details:?Date / Time: July 14th, 5:30 pm CT? Location: [For Directions click ]?️ Admission: Free and open to everyone—no experience required--------------------? What to Bring:Your charged laptop to take notes, practice and apply everything in real time.--------------------➡️ Who Should Join?Everyone from the AI-curious to the AI-obsessed. Our sessions are built for:Newcomers exploring AI for the first timeNo-code and low-code buildersSoftware engineers and ML practitionersResearchers and technologistsStudents and early-career professionals--------------------➡️ Why This MattersAI is rapidly changing how software is designed, built, tested, maintained, and modernized. The next wave of engineering productivity will not come from simply writing code faster — it will come from rethinking how technical teams collaborate with intelligent systems across the entire development lifecycle.This session is your opportunity to see that shift up close.Join us for an evening of live demos, real talk, and hands-on exploration with IBM Bob.--------------------AI After Hours is built for you — powered by ’s mission and strengthened through our collaboration with .--------------------Questions?
