## AI overview

The article argues that AI agents have recently become capable of supporting large-scale software migrations through expanded context windows and tool use, including autonomous command-line execution, file editing, and test-result checking. It discusses migration challenges, case studies involving Slack, Google, Airbnb, and Ona customers, and migration categories such as library upgrades, language-version changes, CVE remediation, API changes, and framework migrations.
