Presentation

The future of software development is here and it’s not just about adding AI into existing processes. Forrester predicts that low-code and GenAI will give birth to a whole new category of “App Generation” platforms, while Gartner forecasts that AI-powered low-code will outperform traditional development with coding assistants.

At OutSystems, we’ve been at the forefront of this transformation since 2001. With Mentor, our AI-powered digital team member, we’re taking application development to the next level. With OutSystems, businesses already build mission-critical software 10x faster at 20% of the cost—now, Mentor takes it further, turning ideas into applications in minutes.
 

With Mentor, enterprises can:

  • Instantly generate full-stack apps using AI
  • Automate the software development lifecycle to eliminate busywork
  • Embed generative AI into applications in minutes, not months
