Agentic software development that runs inside your own infrastructure — including air-gapped environments.
IBM Bob is IBM's agentic software development platform, and its October 2026 self-hosted deployment option is the headline: run AI-powered development and modernization on your own on-premises, private-cloud, sovereign-cloud, or air-gapped infrastructure instead of sending code to a public AI service. You can run supported licensed models on premises or connect to external model services through hybrid configurations. IBM cites Futurum Research's projection that hybrid and edge deployments will capture 44% of the AI infrastructure market by 2030 — this is the enterprise answer to that shift. Best for regulated industries and large organizations with strict data residency requirements; indie developers won't get past the sales gate.
Pricing: Enterprise / custom pricing (contact sales); no public tiers · Vendor: IBM
