OutSystems’ platform approach to AI cohesively employs all the technology’s benefits to revolutionise software development. It also brings the advantages of both low-code and AI to software development instead of AI alone.
Secure by design, the OutSystems platform provides access to multiple AI models, provides AI-assisted visual development, and supports full-stack development, including machine learning (ML) generated data models, business rules, and UI. It promotes out of the box high customisability with no locked-in code, applies AI to the entire Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), and allows for complete app generation, enhancement, and maintenance, all within a single platform.
OutSystems vs other GenAI dev tools
CAPABILITY | Other GenAI dev tools | |
|---|---|---|
AI-assisted
visual development
| Combines low-code with AI to boost developer productivity.
| Generate traditional code like JavaScript or React, which slows developer productivity. |
AI-assisted full-stack development | Generates data models, business rules and UI with ML. | Typically focus primarily on code generation. |
High customisability | Modify the generated code across UI, logic, data structures and integrations at the most granular level. | Lock in the code and do not allow you to enhance it safely.
|
AI-assistance throughout
the entire SDLC
| Embeds AI assistance in every stage of the SDLC, from development to release. | Typically solve only one part of the SDLC at a time. |
AI-assistance throughout the whole life of your app | Employs AI beyond coding to help you holistically build, enhance and maintain your apps in a single environment. | Typically focus primarily on code generation.
|
Secure by design | Fully SOC2 Type II compliant, eliminating the risks associated with AI. | Typically require you to add security controls, authentication and authorisation separately. |
Transparency | Ensures AI-generated code is done correctly and complies with your company’s best practices. | Lack of transparency as you do not know why the AI tool took a particular approach to developing your app. |
Access to multiple AI models | Seamless access to Amazon Bedrock,
Open AI, Chat GPT models. | Typically provides access to one stack. |
Connectors to common AI services from Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. | Easily integration with ready-made AI services to develop chatbots, Q&A, text generation, and other use cases with ease.
| Typically provides access to one stack. |
