This AI tool helps Canada Revenue Agency software developers write, document, and test COBOL code — a legacy programming language still central to federal tax systems. It generates code snippets, detects syntax errors, and produces documentation automatically. Only government employees use this tool directly; it does not process personal information about Canadians.
