​🌟 What happens when you let AI generate as much of a full-stack InterSystems IRIS application as possible?

The answer: a working backend and frontend, built in a fraction of the usual time. The experiment used the Samples BI Demo package (HoleFoods sales data) as the data model, OpenAI Codex as the coding assistant, and a minimal setup — VS Code, the ObjectScript extension, Docker, and a basic project template from Open Exchange.

The part that stood out: once Codex generated the Swagger specification class and it was compiled, InterSystems IRIS automatically produced the routing class and the business logic stubs. AI then filled in the CRUD implementation, security configuration, and unit tests. The frontend was scaffolded from the OpenAPI specification using Lovable in a few minutes.

One thing that made a real difference: AGENTS.md — a file with project-specific conventions that gave the coding assistant context about how ObjectScript code should be structured. It noticeably improved the quality and consistency of everything generated 😄

The result is a prototype, but the workflow is repeatable for CRUD apps, internal tools, dashboards, and proof-of-concepts on top of existing IRIS data models.

​What if your AI coding agent could do more than just generate code?

Instead of copying code back and forth between an LLM and your development environment, agentic development brings the AI agent directly into the workflow — where it can interact with #InterSystemsIRIS, use tools, execute code, detect errors, and iterate on its own.

In this new video, Ariel Glickman demonstrates how to get started with agentic development for InterSystems IRIS, including:
👉 Connecting Claude Code and GitHub Copilot to IRIS
👉 Working with the IRIS Agentic Dev MCP server
👉 Using tools and Skills to perform more complex development tasks
👉 Maintaining persistent project context
👉 Building applications with natural-language instructions
👉 Exploring multi-agent workflows and what comes next with AI Hub

The goal isn’t to replace developers — it’s to spend less time on repetitive tasks and debugging, and more time on the work that actually needs your expertise.

Watch the video, try the tools yourself, and see how agentic development can change the way you build with InterSystems IRIS:

​🤖 Modernizing Data Architecture for the Agentic Enterprise

AI is moving quickly, but many enterprise data environments were not designed for the workloads that generative and agentic applications now demand. Preparing for this shift means more than introducing new AI technologies. Organizations need to strengthen their existing data foundations, reduce fragmentation, and make data easier to access and use across applications.

Discover how #InterSystemsIRIS can support this transition by bringing data, analytics, integration, and AI together in a modern, converged architecture.

​InterSystems IRIS gets called a "Universal NoSQL" database, and the reason comes down to one thing: Global Storage. ⚡️

Global Storage stores data as persistent, schema-free hierarchies — nested arrays where you don't have to define the structure in advance. 🌳 A node looks like this:

^employee("UK", "London", 123456789, "name") = "Jon Doe"

Country, city, employee ID, property — the hierarchy goes as deep as you need, and only nodes that actually hold data take up space. 💾

What makes it interesting is that the same hierarchy underneath can be shaped into very different things: key/value pairs, JSON-like documents, graphs, even relational tables. 🔄 It's also why the structure maps so naturally onto JSON — QEWD-JSdb uses exactly that to let you work with persistent data as plain JavaScript objects, with no separate database API in the way. 📦

IRIS and Caché implement this natively, and so does YottaDB. The same idea has also been built on top of Redis, Berkeley DB, and LMDB elsewhere. 🛠️

Curious how many people here have worked with globals directly versus only through SQL or objects layered on top? 🤔
