Description

### What is this about?

We should do a timeboxed spike on using AI to help with Typescript migrations.

This is very open ended such that who ever picks this up can experiment and try possible things. The output from the spike should be some recommended ways we can use AI to help with this. That could be anything from a custom gpt that takes a file, converts and spits it out to instructions for how to use cursor effectively to speed up the process

@davidmurdoch and @dbrans should please add any ideas here.
