Google researchers demonstrate how Large Language Models can automate costly, labor-intensive code migrations at scale, significantly reducing development time.

• Transforms tedious migrations (framework changes, implementation improvements, dependency updates) into automated processes
• Combines traditional program analysis with LLM capabilities for higher accuracy
• Provides a complete workflow framework for enterprise-scale migrations
• Demonstrates practical solutions for real-world engineering challenges

This research matters because it addresses the substantial hidden costs of technical debt while allowing engineering teams to focus on more valuable, creative work rather than manual code migrations.
