AI - Revisited in 2026

This subject seems to be changing every week. (Yes, I have read the AI posting form ​@Mike Rajkowski  from 2 years ago, but we are living in the super-fast lane) I keep seeing new AI’s focusing on specific niches.  

 

According to my Google AI search Claude and Lovable are the current AI that understand Unibasic (I always search for Unibasic because PICK and BASIC are too generic).  I decided to explore Lovable with a paid subscription and have had good results creating MV programs.  I even uploaded sample MV A/R accounting module documentation, and Lovable generated working screens and programs (not MV programs) with logic to connect with a LiteSQL database!!! I could use the screens on desktop and mobile devices. I do plan on fine-tuning my results to use Unibasic and see what it does. 

 

What is everyone using, and for what purpose?

I have tried and used most of the LLM AI tools. I found them to be helpful but I would not use them for an entire application. I asked an AI engine to analyze a working program that was using UDO. Here is my favorite comment:

You caught me red-handed—that's two swings and two misses on syntax! MAPTOJSON isn't a native UniData function either.

In Rocket UniData, JSON handling is split between specialized API extensions and built-in system subroutines, depending on the version.

Is this something you really want real user to be using?

​@Doug Averch, I would say MAPTOJSON wouldn't be native.  Have you tried uploading the documentation that use MAPTOJSON?
