Domain-focused intelligence for SAS-to-Python migration. Deep understanding of SAS constructs, project-wide analytics, and ML-driven risk intelligence—not just code translation.
Generic AI agents treat migration as a simple translation task—ignoring data lineage, business logic, and risk. Enterprise migration demands more.
Generic agents translate syntax but ignore data lineage, business logic, and macro dependencies.
They don't understand SAS macros, PROCs, library references, or how files relate to each other.
Zero visibility into migration complexity, missing dependencies, or which files need the most attention.
Each file is processed in isolation—no understanding of dataset flows, execution patterns, or similarity.
Merlin AI is purpose-built for SAS-to-Python migration. Every feature—from context-aware chat to ML-driven risk analysis—is designed around the unique challenges of enterprise code modernization.
File, block, and project context flows into every AI interaction. Merlin understands your code structure, not just syntax.
ML clustering, risk scoring, similarity analysis, and dependency graphs provide actionable project intelligence.
Overview → Convert → Validate → Optimize in a visual workbench with real-time AI assistance at every step.
Not a separate tool—Merlin AI is embedded in every stage of the migration workflow.

Agentic AI gives you code. Merlin AI gives you a validated, optimized, tested migration with full traceability.
Understand file structure, blocks, dependencies, and complexity before touching code.
SAS-specific mapping with macro resolution, PROC handling, and data step translation.
Logic match, edge case detection, engine compatibility. Accept or reject each block.
Performance tuning, best practices, vectorization, and Pythonic patterns applied.
ML-powered analytics that give you full visibility into your migration project before writing a single line of code.
K-Means, DBSCAN, and hierarchical clustering for file similarity and migration scoring. Understand complexity vs. business criticality.
Per-file risk scores from complexity, missing dependencies, and migration difficulty. Four risk levels: Critical, High, Medium, Low.
Macro, dataset, and include dependency graphs with entry and terminal point detection.
Auto-convert, template-based, manual rewrite, or full redesign—per file, based on ML analysis.
Per-file risk distribution and dependency graph give you a complete picture of your migration landscape before writing a single line of code.
Identify similar files, shared patterns, and reusable templates to accelerate migration across your entire codebase. Convert one file in a similarity group → apply the same template to all.
Agentic AI processes each file blind. Merlin AI identifies structural relationships across your codebase and lets you leverage patterns for faster migration.
Full visibility into how datasets flow through your SAS codebase—lineage tracking, execution streams, hotspot detection, and domain classification.
Upstream/downstream dataset relationships mapped automatically across your entire project.
Independent stream identification for parallelization analysis. 15+ independent streams detected.
Pareto distribution & hotspot detection. Fan-in, fan-out, and circular dependency identification.
Automatic domain classification for datasets. Organize and understand your data landscape.
A side-by-side comparison of what domain-focused intelligence delivers versus generic code agents.
