If you attended last year’s NextStep conference, you may have heard about the OutSystems AI Mentor System. 

As part of our goal to make developers 100x more productive, the OutSystems AI Mentor System is a comprehensive set of AI-based development, security, and quality analysis tools that provide expert-level assistance across the most critical areas of the software development lifecycle. 

The 5 Mentors provided by AI Mentor System.

In other words, it’s like having a team of experts on call to enhance the collective expertise of your team. 

Now, I’d like to turn your attention to Code Mentor—more specifically, what’s new in the Code Mentor. 

Code Mentor uses AI to reduce friction when developing applications. It shows in-line suggestions or contextual, in-app help. And now Code Mentor also helps users fetch data in the easiest possible way using natural language.

What do I mean by that, you ask?  

Well, Natural Language Processing is the ability of a computer to understand human language as it is spoken and written. 

In the past two years, it has been a groundbreaking research area. So, we decided to make the OutSystems developers’ life easier by allowing users to explain, using their own words, what data they want to get from a data model. 

Based on that, we automatically generate an Aggregate with the intended data query.

This removes the complexity of knowing how to perform expressions in filters, for instance, and makes it much easier to perform an aggregate with a calculated value like a count or a sum. 

By just writing down a sentence in their everyday language, the user is able to build from the simplest to the hardest aggregate. 

We have just announced this new feature in our blog. Take a look to see a few of these use cases in action!

This new feature is available in Service Studio with a version higher than 11.53.13 and ODC with a version higher than 1.0.31.

Hearing your feedback and stories about the experience you have with this feature and our platform pushes us to do better every day! So, don’t be shy. Join the discussion in our Forum. Or if you prefer to speak directly with our team, let us know when you’re available for a quick chat.
