Abstract

This study focuses on the application and effectiveness evaluation of artificial intelligence agents (AI agents) in software code automatic migration scenarios. In response to the complex legacy system technology debt, high manual migration costs, and cross language/cross platform semantic mapping challenges faced by the US software industry, a four stage intelligent migration framework based on large-scale language models (LLMs) was constructed, which includes "understanding transformation verification optimization". The research adopts a multi-agent collaborative architecture, where syntax tree construction and core logic extraction are completed through code parsing agents. Semantic mapping agents rely on pre trained models to achieve cross language logic equivalence conversion, verify agent execution of compilation testing and logical consistency verification to ensure functional equivalence. In the optimization stage, reinforcement learning (RLHF) and context adaptive learning mechanisms are integrated to dynamically optimize transfer strategies. Introduce a human-machine collaborative verification model with a closed-loop mechanism of "proxy migration manual review feedback optimization" to ensure the interpretability and engineering controllability of the migration results. Empirical research on open source projects such as OpenStack and TensorFlow in the United States has shown that AI agent migration significantly outperforms traditional methods in accuracy, execution performance, and manual review efficiency, with an average efficiency improvement of 80%; Through the quantitative evaluation of multidimensional indicators such as migration accuracy, maintainability, and compliance, the framework demonstrates high migration accuracy (an average improvement of 25%), low error rate, and strong generalization ability. This framework forms an extensible technology path and standardized evaluation method, providing a complete theoretical and practical solution for intelligent migration of heterogeneous systems, supporting the upgrading of enterprise technology stacks and sustainable promotion of digital transformation, and verifying the core value of AI agents in software modernization.
