Hi everyone,
With the introduction of Agentic Apps in ODC Studio 1.6.0, I have an important question regarding the future of the AI Agent Builder available in the Forge.
Now that we can create agentic applications natively within the OutSystems ecosystem — fully integrated into the ODC Portal and ODC Studio — I’m wondering:
👉 Will Agentic Apps replace the AI Agent Builder?
Is there any official plan to deprecate or discontinue the AI Agent Builder?
Will both tools coexist with different purposes?
Will Agentic Apps eventually include all capabilities that the AI Agent Builder currently provides?
I also noticed something important:📌 Older tutorials use the AI Agent Builder, while the newer tutorials show how to create Agentic Apps without needing the AI Agent Builder at all.📌 I couldn’t find any information anywhere about this possible “replacement,” which makes it difficult to understand the recommended path going forward.
This clarification is crucial for planning new projects and making the right architectural decisions without risking rework.
If someone from the OutSystems team could share the roadmap or provide guidance, that would be extremely helpful.
Thanks!
Hi all - the plan is to have Agent Workbench replace AI Agent Builder (AIAB). No official decision has been made yet, but, we do recommend all new Agentic projects to use Agent Workbench and not AIAB.
Our team will identify apps that currently use AIAB and determine next steps.
Hi,
I have shared your question with OutSystems.
One big difference is that AI Agent Builder is free (except for the AO usage of course), while the Agent-Workbench is a paid addon of €20k per year.
Regards,
Daniel
Is agentic app still consider an application, or now besides app and library, agentic app is their own category?
Since agentic app involves exposing service actions to be consume by other app, it would mean during the course of development, we should be expecting the first call to encounter a communication timeout?Monitor ODC resource Capacity
As you wrote Agentic app. They are apps at the same level as web or mobile
