Automotive and manufacturing systems are built to last. Unfortunately, so is the code behind them.
Decades of suppliers, ECUs, PLCs and platforms have created a digital patchwork where legacy components quietly dictate what systems can and cannot do.
AI isn’t the challenge. Reclaiming ownership of the core is.
At AWS Summit Hamburg, Thoughtworks will show how organizations are consolidating this patchwork; rebuilding the core and creating a modern digital backbone on AWS for vehicles, factories and supply chains.
Stop by our booth I04 to see a live demo of AI/works™, our platform for building and running industrial-grade intelligent systems and transforming legacy code into clear, modern specifications that are ready for cloud-native and software-defined vehicle architectures.
We helped define agile. We helped define microservices. And we’re doing it again for the AI era.
AI that works. Engineered from the core up for automotive and manufacturing.

Unlocking legacy codebases for agentic workflows
Harald Walter, Sven de Ridder
Much of the burden of working with legacy codebases comes from trying to understand them. We present an approach for transforming such codebases – often complex and poorly documented – into navigable, interactive, and machine-accessible representations. We combine a deterministically extracted, structurally representative knowledge graph of the codebase with AI-driven semantic enrichment. This yields conversational, context-aware interfaces for both developers and autonomous agents. These representations enable agentic applications, reframing efforts such as legacy modernization and compliance as continuous, context-aware, and highly accelerated workflows.
AI that works, after hours
The summit ends. The interesting conversations don’t.Join us for dinner with peers across automotive and manufacturing to unwind, share experiences and talk about the challenges and opportunities shaping the next generation of intelligent systems.
