Genesis MKE automatically maps your entire mainframe codebase into a living knowledge graph — so your teams can search, understand, and modernize with complete confidence.
Every program, table, screen, and job — verified against your actual source code. Not tribal knowledge. Not guesswork.
Ask in plain English. Get the exact code section that answers it. No mainframe expertise required.
Full dependency maps before every modification. Stop production surprises before they happen.
Runs on-premises or private cloud. AI steps use whichever model you configure — including private deployments.
Critical workloads depend on mainframe systems built over decades. The systems work — but nobody fully understands them. And you cannot modernize what you do not understand.
Decades of business logic buried in undocumented COBOL. Tribal knowledge that exists only in people's heads.
Without dependency maps, every modification is a gamble. Hidden connections cause cascading production failures.
Analysts spend weeks tracing code manually just to understand one business function. Analysis paralysis stops progress.
The developers who built the system are leaving — and their knowledge goes with them. Permanently.
Genesis MKE reads your codebase once and gives your entire organization the understanding it needs — on demand.
Automatically maps every COBOL program, JCL job, screen definition, database table, and copybook as a connected graph — verified against actual source code.
No COBOL knowledge required. Ask in natural language — get the exact paragraph, the program it lives in, and everything that calls it.
Auto-generate structured requirements documents for any program. Every business rule linked to the exact source line that implements it.
Before any modification, see every downstream program, data flow, and screen that will be affected. Eliminate the #1 cause of modernization failures.
Your mainframe source is private. A general model has no knowledge of your system. Without grounded facts, it guesses. Genesis MKE provides the structured knowledge layer that makes LLM answers accurate and traceable.
Enterprise codebases cannot fit in any context window — and even if they could, you would repeat the full cost every query. Genesis MKE pre-processes once. Every query answers instantly.
An LLM guessing at code behaviour is worse than no answer in a regulatory context. Every Genesis MKE answer traces back to a verified AST fact — never a guess, never hallucinated.
Genesis MKE runs a fully automated pipeline on your existing codebase. No disruption. No migration. No mainframe expertise required.
Finds and catalogs every program, library, data file, and job
Maps all components, connections, and dependencies
Identifies program roles and groups by business domain
Prepares code for instant keyword and concept search
AI explains what every section of code does in plain English
AI creates plain-English program summaries for faster answers
Intelligent search activated — any question answered instantly
Creates test cases from the business rules embedded in the code — ready-made acceptance criteria for modernization validation.
AI stepProduces detailed requirements documents per program — business rules, processing logic, data dependencies, error handling — all traced to the code.
AI stepSteps 1–4 and 7 are free — no AI cost. Steps 5 and 6 use AI at pennies per program, cached after the first run. Only changed programs are re-analysed on subsequent runs.
Genesis MKE turns questions that used to take weeks into answers that arrive in seconds — grounded in your actual code.
Ask any business question and get the exact program section that answers it — no COBOL expertise, no manual tracing.
Every program section explained in language your business analysts can read — AI-generated, code-grounded, fully traceable.
See every downstream dependency before touching a line. Stop production surprises before they happen.
| Question your team asks | Without Genesis MKE | With Genesis MKE |
|---|---|---|
| "Which program handles credit card updates?" | Days of manual code tracing — and still uncertain | Exact program found instantly |
| "What validates the expiry month?" | No way to search — read the code manually | Exact paragraph located and explained |
| "Find the interest calculation logic" | Ask whoever wrote it — if they're still here | Correct program found with full context |
| "What breaks if we change this table?" | Unknown — hope nothing breaks in production | Every affected program listed before you change anything |
Genesis MKE delivers different value to every stakeholder — from CIO to developer.
We don't know what we don't know. Every estimate is a guess. Compliance audits require manual documentation efforts that take months.
Risk: unknown unknownsFull program inventory on first run. Risk is visible, measurable, and manageable. Compliance documentation is auto-generated and always current.
Risk: quantified and trackedDrawing dependency maps from tribal knowledge and best guesses. Manual documentation efforts take months. Nobody fully trusts what's produced.
Architecture mapping: monthsAuto-generated dependency maps verified against actual source. CICS flow chains, JCL trees, data lineage — accurate, current, and trusted.
Architecture mapping: weeksFinding the right paragraph takes days. Impact of changes is unknown until something breaks in production. Every change is a risk.
Code comprehension: daysSemantic search surfaces the exact paragraph. Impact analysis before every change. Zero surprise breakage from hidden dependencies.
Code comprehension: minutesWriting requirements from scratch with no idea how the current system actually behaves. Traceability is manual, partial, and perpetually out of date.
Coverage: partial, manualAuto-generated requirements documents per program. Every business rule linked to the exact code line. Regulatory traceability complete and auditable.
Coverage: 100%, auto-generatedGenesis MKE is designed for the security, compliance, and operational requirements of enterprise mainframe shops.
Genesis MKE deploys on-premises or in your private cloud. Structural analysis never calls external services. AI steps use whichever model you configure — private, on-premises, or a trusted cloud provider of your choice.
All AI-generated descriptions trace back to a verified AST fact. No claim is made without source-code evidence. No hallucination.
Auto-generated requirements include source references, version history, and complete business rule traceability for compliance teams.
Team-level and project-level permissions. Developers see their subsystems. Architects see the complete graph. Multi-tenant isolation.
Architected for enterprise-scale codebases. Incremental analysis — only changed programs are reprocessed on each run. Handles any size.
Knowledge graph queryable via REST API. Connects to Jira, Confluence, and CI/CD pipelines. Exports to Markdown, Word, and PDF.
Not a rip-and-replace. Not a multi-year program. A 2-week knowledge discovery sprint on your existing mainframe — and you see the value before any contract decision.
