AI agents · IBM i modernization

Working AI agents. Built by a team that runs on them.

Solanko designs, builds and runs secure AI agents for civilian and defense contractors whose systems can't afford to break, from thirty-year-old IBM i cores to agents that live inside secure environments.

What we do

Two things we sell, and how we do them.

Working AI agents, IBM i modernization, and a way of working that keeps a human accountable for both.

AI agents

Agents that do the work, not the demo.

Operations, modernization, and customer-and-revenue agents, each with one job, a clear boundary and a named human who answers for it. Built to run inside your environment, next to your data.

IBM i modernization

Modernize without losing what works.

Assessment first, then a staged path: stabilize, expose, migrate piece by piece, extend. Thirty years of RPG, now with agents doing the heavy lifting.

How we work

A senior human lead. A bench of working agents.

JK scopes every engagement and reviews every change; Lola, Cola, Argus and Rola do the heavy lifting. Assess, pilot, scale, with ground rules the agents never break.

Our development model

Cloud intelligence. Local execution.

We use frontier AI to engineer your agents. What we deliver is a secure local agent platform that runs inside your environment, next to your data: rules and workflows, specialized models, private retrieval over your own documents, and a local language model only where it earns its place.

  • Private where required. Your data stays in your environment when the work demands it.
  • Least privilege, human approval. Agents get only the access they need, and high-risk actions wait for a person.
  • Optional local language models. Used where they earn their place, never as a default.
  • Honest numbers. We measure a pilot against one real metric before anyone talks about scale.

Proof, not promises

We run on what we build.

Before an agent goes near a client, it has already been working inside Solanko. Our infrastructure, security-key rotation, website deploys, certificate monitoring and our entire lead pipeline are operated by agents we built, and supervised by a person every day.

Thirty years of IBM i

I spent three decades keeping IBM i systems running. Now I build the agents that help modernize them, without losing what already works.

JK Grafe · Founder

If your business still runs on RPG, you don't need a rewrite fantasy. You need someone who has read that code for thirty years and knows where agents help, and where they don't.
