The next generation of Mentor is now available in ODC
We are excited to announce the general availability of the next generation of Mentor in ODC. Designed for agentic-first development, Mentor combines the speed and power of AI with the precision of visual development, all grounded in the OutSystems Enterprise Context Graph, also known as the OutSystems model. It elevates developers into agentic systems engineers, enabling teams to move at the speed of thought while ensuring every change stays aligned with enterprise security, architecture, and operational standards.
New in Mentor App Generator
Mentor App Generator has received a major user experience upgrade. Its new conversational app generation experience enables builders to create applications by chatting with Mentor in natural language. Users can describe what they need in plain language, and Mentor asks clarifying questions as it iteratively builds the data model, logic, and user interface.
Mentor in IDE
With this release, we are bringing the power of Mentor directly into ODC Studio. Developers can now modify existing applications using natural language instead of manually navigating visual trees and configuring elements one by one. Simply open the Mentor panel and describe a goal, such as “add a comments feature to the Ticket entity” or “create a dashboard screen for order metrics.” Mentor analyzes the current application model, proposes an implementation plan, and applies changes after approval. It works across server actions, screens, entities, and logic, while respecting existing patterns, architecture, and integrations.
Better Together
Mentor App Generator and Mentor in IDE are designed to work as a single development thread. Teams can create an app in the Portal, refine it through conversation, then open it in ODC Studio and use Mentor in IDE to extend it further. Both experiences share the same application model and follow OutSystems standards for security, architecture, and code quality. Apps created through either experience are standard ODC applications, with no special handling required.
Why It Matters
AI development tools often create fragmented workflows. Mentor brings agentic speed into a unified development experience with built-in observability, security, and traceability, right where teams already build, manage, and run software. The result is faster delivery, fewer handoff points, and greater confidence that AI-driven changes are production-ready from the start.
