Currently, AI helps generate code, but one of the biggest challenges in enterprise OutSystems applications is understanding existing applications.


I would like to suggest an AI-powered assistant capable of analyzing an existing module and explaining:


• Screen and module responsibilities

• End-to-end business flow

• Server Actions and Client Actions relationships

• Dependencies between modules

• Entities and data flow

• Integration points (REST, SOAP, Events)

• BPT processes

• Timers and Scheduled Jobs

• Security model (Roles, Permissions)

• Reusable components usage

• Architecture recommendations

• Technical debt detection

• Suggestions for SOLID and architecture improvements


This feature would be extremely valuable when:


- Joining an existing project.

- Maintaining legacy applications.

- Performing code reviews.

- Onboarding new developers.

- Supporting technical leads and architects.


Instead of simply generating code, AI could become an intelligent documentation and architecture assistant, helping teams understand large enterprise applications much faster.


This would significantly reduce onboarding time and improve productivity for development teams.

You could ask Mentor in Studio to analyze your application

As Dorine mention you already can do this with prompting in Studio. Second more features around generating documentation are already on the roadmap of ODC for this year.
