About VELO

What is VELO?

Most modernization projects stall because no one knows the real investment or outcome until the end. VELO, the agentic AI modernization platform built on Microsoft Foundry, shows you both before you commit.

General-purpose AI coding tools move fast on a demo, then stall on production codebases where business logic is tangled into the UI. VELO runs deterministic analysis of your whole application before language-specific agents touch the code, and the first thing it delivers has to compile and run.

Know before you commit

Run an Assessment on your own code to see what VELO can modernize, and what it can't, before the next decision.

Preserve the logic that matters

Agents validate against the original source, so your team can see what carried forward and what needs review.

Built for complex applications

Dependency-aware planning keeps large applications working as one system, in readable C# on .NET your team can own.

See the output for yourself. Each repo holds the legacy code, the modernized Blazor app and a side-by-side video.

Built by a team with more than 35 years of experience modernizing these languages and a long Microsoft relationship.

What you'll see

One VB6 application, start to finish, on stream

No slides standing in for the product. Jeff runs VELO Self-Serve on a real VB6 application, from connecting the repo to running the modernized Blazor app.

If you own a VB6 application that still runs an important part of the business and you've put off modernizing because you couldn't size it, you'll see how the Assessment answers that question before you commit.

  1. 01

    Sign in and connect a repo

    Jeff signs in with Microsoft and connects a GitHub repository, so you can see exactly what access VELO asks for and how you can revoke it.

  2. 02

    Run a live Assessment

    You'll see how much of the application VELO can modernize, what it can't handle yet, and the readable summary your team would use to build a business case.

  3. 03

    Request the modernization and run the result

    Jeff opens the same application, already modernized, and runs the Blazor app on stream so you can watch it compile, run and display data.

  4. 04

    Bring your questions

    Jeff and Ken take questions from Twitch and YouTube chat, including the skeptical ones.

Topics Jeff and Ken will cover

The questions VB6 teams ask before they modernize

For engineering leaders, architects and developers who own VB6, Microsoft Access or PowerBuilder applications.

  • Why the first thing VELO delivers has to compile and run, and what Beta Ready means
  • Why large codebases are hard to modernize through do-it-yourself prompting
  • What happens to your code during and after an Assessment
  • What VELO doesn't do yet, and what changes at general availability
  • Why a Blazor target keeps your application on .NET
