IBM Launches Code Assistant, Cloud Mesh, Event Automation

Key Points

  • Ian introduces three new IBM products debuting in 2023: Watson Code Assistant, Hybrid Cloud Mesh, and Event Automation.
  • Watson Code Assistant leverages Watson x.ai foundation models to give developers AI‑generated, syntax‑correct code suggestions, with early use cases in Red Hat Ansible Automation and customizable models slated for general availability later this year.
  • Hybrid Cloud Mesh is a multi‑cloud networking solution that shifts from “fat‑pipe” networking to an application‑centric approach, enabling rapid, automated connectivity across public, private, edge, and on‑prem environments and moving configuration time from weeks to hours.
  • Event Automation lets business users capture and act on real‑time business events, triggering automated workflows that improve customer responsiveness and unlock additional revenue opportunities.
