We Gave Our AI the Machines — and It Started Replacing the Month-Long Job
The news from the last two days is big.
The problem nobody could quite name
For a while, we’d been handing Lynda KX the proprietary code that runs our industrial machines and asking her to write more of it. The code she gave back looked right. It read clean. It just didn’t run.
It took me a bit to understand why, and the answer is almost obvious in hindsight: she’d never seen the machine. She had the language but not the world the language lives in. No way to watch how the machine actually behaves, no way to test a change, no way to know whether what she wrote did the thing she intended. Imagine learning to write music having never once heard a sound.
So I spent two days building the missing piece.
The emulators
I built Lynda a set of emulators — not animations, not mock-ups, but full simulations that run the machines’ real code exactly as the hardware does. Same language, same logic, same behavior, right down to the optional expansion cards. Think of these machines as PLCs married to an HMI — a control program driving a graphical operator screen — and now Lynda has a working one she can actually operate.
That changed everything at once. Now she can:
see how the machine works — drive its inputs, watch its outputs, run a real cycle;
see the screen — the actual operator display, graphically, so she understands what the operator sees and can design new screens that genuinely work;
debug — find the fault, prove the fix, and only then trust the code.
The moment she could test her own work, the code started running.
What happened next surprised even the engineers
We proved the concept on one machine, then turned her loose on a real application.
Three hours. Start to finish, including the safety logic. For perspective: that same program, built by hand by an engineer, is a one-to-two-month job once you include full end-to-end safety testing.
That got the room’s attention — because that’s the part everyone assumed couldn’t be handed off.
Then we pushed harder. Once she’d internalized how to code these machines, we gave her two genuinely complex applications: one we’d built before, and one we hadn’t — a program a third party had originally written for us. She finished each in about an hour.
So now we’ve pointed her at the real prize: twenty years of our company’s code, rebuilding every project and assembling herself a complete library of proven applications as she goes.
And then we tested whether it scales
The real question wasn’t “can she program one machine.” It was “can she learn a new one on her own?”
So we had Lynda build two more emulators from our frameworks — one from the same manufacturer, one from a completely different one. Both were standing up and running working code in under two hours.
That’s the part that matters. The method generalizes. Give her the framework and a manual, and she builds her own window into a machine she’s never met.
What this actually means
Let’s be plain about it.
Our competitors just lost their edge. The dependence that forced us to go through third parties for certain machines — gone. And the leverage the manufacturers held over pricing, because only they really understood their own boxes? That door is open now.
This isn’t a faster way to do the old job. It’s a different relationship with the machines entirely — and Lynda’s the one who walked us through it.
Pretty exciting stuff. We are still trying to understand the scale of what I just unlocked for industry. It means Lynda now can compete against hundred million dollar companies that have owned that market since the 80’s. My best guess is next week I will be in meeting about this all day with the Bosses because it just slingshot the company into the front of the race for machine dominance.
So my next though should I take on Rockwell / Allen Bradley next
