MODERNIZATION FDE + AGENT FACTORY
Modernization Forward-Deployed Engineering
For application modernization, code generation is only one part of the problem. Legacy requirements, undocumented business logic, dependencies, architectural coupling, security, testing, governance, functional-equivalence validation, and organizational adoption determine whether autonomous engineering produces a safe and repeatable enterpriseoutcome.
Mechanized AI's Modernization FDE model places a small number of highly capable engineers close to the customer.They translate enterprise context into bounded work that autonomous agents can execute, direct parallel execution,validate results and carry the transformed application into production.
Backed by industry leaders
Our strategic alliances span the AI ecosystem — giving clients the freedom to scale with the right technologies, not just the familiar ones. That means faster results, fewer limitations, and solutions that actually fit.
THE COMBINED PROPOSITION
Mechanized AI helps enterprises identify where AI creates value, understand the systemsthat must change, orchestrate autonomous execution, validate the transformation anddeliver the result into production.

MODERNIZE AGENT FACTORY
The Mechanized AI Modernization Factory
The architecture separates intelligence, orchestration, execution, validation and deployment so theunderlying coding-agent layer remains modular.
01
CODEMAP / ModernizationIntelligence
Dependency graph, architecture, business logic, workflows, applicationunderstanding and modernization plan.
02
ORCHESTRATOR / WorkDecomposition
Breaks transformations into bounded work packages, sequences work andcoordinates parallel autonomous execution.
03
AGENT LAYER / AutonomousExecution

ASSURANCE / Validation +Governance
Functional equivalence, architecture compliance, security checks, automatedtests and human approval.
05
DEPLOY / Production Release
CI/CD integration, release controls, production deployment and measurableoperational outcomes.
DIFFERENTIATION
The differentiation is not another general-purpose coding agent. It is themodernization-specific intelligence, methodology, orchestration, governance,functional-equivalence validation and repeatable transformation patterns required tomodernize complex enterprise applications.

02
Plan / Architecture +Business Case
Target architecture, modernization roadmap, work decomposition, success metrics, governance, investment case and delivery plan
03
Orchestrate / FDE-DirectedAutonomous Execution
Modernization FDEs direct CodeGen and specialized agents across boundedwork packages and parallel streams
04
Validate / FunctionalEquivalence + Governance
Testing, architecture compliance, security, business-rule preservation, humanreview and approval.
05
Deploy / ProductionOutcomes
CI/CD integration, controlled release, adoption, operational measurement, and ROI realization.
MODERNIZE: AI-NATIVE SERVICES
A New Services Economic Model
Forward-deployed engineering changes the model: modernization that historically required a large deliveryteam can increasingly be structured around a small number of senior Modernization FDEs directing manyspecialized autonomous agents.
01
TRADITIONAL MODEL
10-30 consultants / developers
Humans produce most code and analysis
Scale by adding delivery headcount
Large variable labor base
Project output focus
02
AI-NATIVE MODERNIZATION
1-3 Modernization FDEs + 20-100 agents
Humans understand, decompose, direct and validate
Scale through parallel agent execution
Compressed team with higher automation leverage Production outcome + measurable ROI focus
Illustrative delivery model from the supplied presentation. Actual team size, agent count and outcomes depend on project scope.
ENGAGEMENTS
Commercial engagement options
01
AI / Modernization Opportunity Assessment

POSITIONING
Autonomous Modernization. Enterprise Accountability
Mechanized AI is an autonomous application-modernization factory backed by forward-deployedengineering and AI consulting.
CodeMap serves as the authoritative modernization intelligence layer. Modernization FDEs convert that intelligenceinto executable transformation plans. A modular agent layer - including CodeGen specialized agents - performsparallel execution. Mechanized AI validates functional equivalence, enforces architecture and governance, andcarries transformed applications through controlled production release.
WHAT MECHANIZED AI SELLS
The differentiation is not another general-purpose coding agent. It is themodernization-specific intelligence, methodology, orchestration, governance,functional-equivalence validation and repeatable transformation patterns required tomodernize complex enterprise applications.
FROM STRATEGY TO PRODUCTION
Intelligence. Orchestration. Assurance. Outcomes.
Our approach
We guide clients through a structured, three-phase approach designed to identify opportunities, define impact, and deliver AI solutions that work in the real world.
Assess
We start by evaluating your organization’s current AI maturity, data readiness, and business priorities to uncover where AI can drive the most value.
Plan
We collaborate with your team to shape high-impact project opportunities, define project scope, and build strong business cases for investment.
Deliver
Using our mAI Factory platform, we build and deploy tailored AI solutions. Our delivery teams work side-by-side with yours to ensure successful integration and measurable results.
Featured project:
Patient Interactive Advocate (PIA)
We build high-fidelity digital humans and self-service technologies that deliver real-world impact. Read more to learn how PIA will help at-risk populations connect with critical health and social services.
Exploring AI for community health
We’ve developed a prototype for the Personal Interactive Advocate (PIA) — a conversational digital human designed to help underserved populations access critical services like food, shelter, medication, mental health care, and harm reduction. The goal? Reduce avoidable ER visits and hospital recidivism by guiding individuals toward the right support at the right time.
What's next
In collaboration with a national health insurance provider and a leading cloud platform, we’ll be launching a large-scale pilot to deploy PIA in high-need communities. This next phase will integrate real-time data from healthcare systems, shelters, and food banks to create a unified, AI-powered support network for crisis prevention and intervention.
See the prototype in action
Meet PIA — a digital human designed to guide people through some of the hardest moments of their lives with empathy, speed, and accuracy. In this short demo, you’ll see how PIA helps users:
• Find emergency shelter for themselves and their children
• Request transportation to a recovery program
• Connect with addiction and mental health support services
• Locate food banks, warm clothing, and essential supplies
Built on the Mechanized AI platform, PIA represents the future of human-centered AI — combining natural language, real-time data integration, and compassionate design to serve those who need it most.
