The context advantage

AI is only as good as the information it receives.

A generic AI tool begins with an empty prompt box. The user must locate the right files, select the right code, and hope nothing important was missed.

SMART TS XL finds the complete evidence.
ASK AI turns it into action.

Search the enterprise first. Establish a precise, controlled scope. Then let AI explain, classify, document, and analyze the verified findings—while preserving the connection to source.

Why SMART TS XL + ASK AI

More than a chatbot. An enterprise application intelligence layer.

ASK AI extends the discovery, search, dependency mapping, impact analysis, and reporting capabilities of SMART TS XL with model-flexible reasoning and natural-language interaction.

Verified enterprise context

Begin with evidence discovered across code, databases, repositories, documents, jobs, schemas, and connected assets.

Model flexibility

Use the AI models approved for your organization and select the model best suited to each analysis task.

Enterprise-scale processing

Analyze one item interactively or apply consistent prompts across hundreds or thousands of verified application assets.

Saved and shared prompts

Create reusable prompts, organize them by category, mark favorites, and share approved methods across teams.

Multi-step AI workflows

Chain prompts and responses so different stages—or different models—can analyze, refine, organize, and visualize the result.

History, reports, and continuity

Return to prior conversations, resume investigations, favorite important work, and preserve useful analysis as project artifacts.

How it works

Discovery before generation.

SMART TS XL provides the structured application understanding. ASK AI applies reasoning to the exact scope you select.

1

Discover

Search across mainframe, distributed, cloud, database, repository, and document environments.

2

Scope

Select the programs, fields, jobs, reports, dependencies, documents, or result set relevant to the question.

3

Ask

Choose a saved prompt or create a new request, select an approved model, and run interactively or in the background.

4

Act

Use structured findings, documentation, risk summaries, test recommendations, and next-step analysis linked to evidence.

Powerful capabilities

Use AI where it delivers measurable enterprise value.

From one program to a complete application portfolio, ASK AI helps convert discovered information into repeatable work products.

Explain unfamiliar code

Summarize purpose, processing steps, inputs, outputs, data movement, and likely business meaning in plain language.

Extract business rules

Turn calculations, validations, conditions, exceptions, and decision logic into a structured rule catalog.

Accelerate impact analysis

Classify findings, summarize likely risk, group related impacts, identify testing needs, and recommend next assets to inspect.

Support modernization

Summarize legacy logic, identify blockers, create pseudo-code, propose service boundaries, and build a modernization backlog.

Generate test scenarios

Produce normal, boundary, exception, regression, integration, and reconciliation tests from actual application logic.

Strengthen audit response

Organize compliance findings, summarize exposure, identify exceptions, and produce evidence-based review documentation.

Ask bigger questions

From code search to actionable understanding.

The difference

Generic AI versus SMART TS XL + ASK AI

The advantage is not simply access to an LLM. It is the quality, completeness, structure, and traceability of the context sent to it.

Capability
Generic AI
SMART TS XL + ASK AI
Starting context
Manually selected snippets and files
Enterprise-discovered, controlled result sets
Application relationships
Often absent from the prompt
Code, data, jobs, schemas, documents, and dependencies
Scale
One-off manual interactions
Interactive and background analysis across large scopes
Repeatability
Depends on individual prompting
Saved, categorized, parameterized, shared prompts
Model strategy
Often tied to one provider or interface
Model-flexible and workflow-ready
Traceability
Answer may be separated from source
Findings remain connected to application evidence

Enterprise control

Your application intelligence should outlast any single AI model.

SMART TS XL creates the discovery, structure, relationships, and controlled context that make AI useful for enterprise software analysis. ASK AI applies the models and workflows best suited to your organization.

Use organization-approved models
Standardize prompts and workflows
Preserve source traceability
Keep application context centralized
Support role-based investigations
Maintain conversation and report history

Frequently asked questions

ASK AI questions, answered.

Does ASK AI replace SMART TS XL search and impact analysis?

No. SMART TS XL discovers and scopes the relevant application evidence. ASK AI explains, classifies, summarizes, documents, and helps teams act on that evidence.

Can ASK AI analyze more than one program?

Yes. ASK AI can work with an individual item or larger collections of programs, documents, database objects, exports, and verified search results. Larger analyses can be processed as background work within the product workflow.

Are users limited to one AI model?

ASK AI is designed for model flexibility. Available models can be selected according to the task, deployment configuration, security requirements, and your organization’s AI policies.

Can teams standardize their prompts?

Yes. Users can create, organize, favorite, edit, and share saved prompts. Prompts can also use parameters so teams can repeat approved analysis methods with different values and scopes.

Can ASK AI create multi-step workflows?

Yes. Prompt-response-prompt chains can move an analysis through multiple stages, such as extracting business rules, consolidating results, and generating a visual or executive summary.

Can ASK AI create reports?

ASK AI can support technical documentation, business-rule catalogs, impact summaries, risk registers, testing plans, modernization assessments, and other reusable project outputs.

Does ASK AI eliminate the need for human review?

No. AI accelerates analysis and organizes evidence, but important findings should be validated by the appropriate technical or business owner. SMART TS XL makes that validation easier by keeping the work connected to underlying application assets.
