Introducing The Futurists Guild
A vision for an AI innovation consortium of veteran IBM i engineers.
An AI innovation consortium for IBM i engineering veterans
Veteran Engineers. Artificial Intelligence. Extraordinary Possibilities.
Explore the field notes ↗Imagine a group of veteran IBM i engineers who know the systems, understand the business rules, and have the experience to build tools like these using AI.
The Futurists Guild is a vision for an AI innovation consortium that connects that experience with new capabilities—AI agents, automation, modern development workflows, and open knowledge sharing.
Beyond Modernization. Engineering the Next Era of IBM i.
Collaborate to design, prototype, and share innovative IBM i engineering tools, AI agents, reusable skills, open-source packages, Git repositories, and workflow accelerators that empower the IBM i community and accelerate the next era of software engineering.
Collect articles, open-source projects, practical links, examples, and lessons learned, and connect veteran engineers with the next generation to multiply the impact of experience.

A vision for an AI innovation consortium of veteran IBM i engineers.
Ideas, project links, demonstrations, and recommended reading are collected on two pages, each with its own RSS feed.
Suggested resources: open-source IBM i projects, AI-assisted development examples, reusable agent skills, technical walkthroughs, and Guild announcements.
Follow the experiments, ideas, and practical lessons as they take shape.
