Dependency updating and API version updating seem like great use cases for AI agents.

“AI, update this file from API V1 to API V2”




How about no.


Why not? It's a task that is not deterministically automatable, but has similar enough problems (changing method signatures, etc) that make it suitable for AI to learn from past examples and then apply to your codebase. And these are typically also accompanied by changelogs that can get injected into the prompt, etc.

I'm not some sort of AI fanboy. This just seems like a pretty decent use case.
