Teaching an AI agent to upgrade .NET, React, and Next.js apps for real — not just talk about it
Every engineering team has that repo. The one running a framework version from three or four years ago. Everyone knows it needs an upgrade. Nobody wants to be the one who breaks production doing it.
That's the problem UpgradePilot — an open-source, multi-agent upgrade pipeline — is built to solve. And this week we shipped the piece that made it stack-agnostic: real, working upgrade automation for .NET, React, and Next.js, including repos that mix a .NET backend with a React or Next.js frontend in the same codebase.
Here's what that actually means, because "AI upgrades your code" is a claim that's earned a lot of well-deserved skepticism.
The design principle: shell out to the real tool, never fake it
The easy version of this feature is an LLM that reads your package.json, guesses at new version numbers, and writes some plausible-looking code changes. That's not what we built.
