OutSystems today announced Agentic Systems Engineering, a new approach to AI development designed to help organizations build, manage, and evolve governed agentic systems for the enterprise.
AI development is radically transforming how software is built and the role of developers. As agents generate code faster than ever, there has been an explosion of new tools, but this isn’t leading to higher quality software or more coherent architectures. Further compounding the issue are legacy systems that restrain innovation and require even more complex data management and integration.
OutSystems Agentic Systems Engineering addresses the technical complexity and fragmented architectures of modern enterprises that are often difficult to reason over. By developing the rich context and guardrails agents require, it ensures the delivery of reliable, secure, and compliant systems.
At the center of this approach is the OutSystems Enterprise Context Graph. Drawing on more than two decades of software development centered on business intent rather than code alone, the Enterprise Context Graph extends the OutSystems unique contextual architecture with the dynamic tooling that agents need to work effectively across complex systems.
By providing a high-fidelity and real-time understanding of the enterprise architecture – enterprise apps and agents, workflows, data, and their interconnected dependencies – the Enterprise Context Graph is the platform advantage that enterprises need to realize the power of agentic technologies in their business.
“AI is creating more change, across more tools and surfaces, than ever before—but enterprises still need that change to be governed, secure, and production-ready,” said Woodson Martin, CEO of OutSystems. “Agentic Systems Engineering is our answer to that challenge. With the Enterprise Context Graph and the next generation of Mentor, OutSystems gives organizations the context, connection, and control they need to use agentic tools across complex systems and deliver real enterprise outcomes.”
Powered by the Enterprise Context Graph, the next generation of OutSystems Mentor delivers Agentic Systems Engineering directly within the OutSystems platform. Now with a highly conversational application generation and in-IDE experience, Mentor enables teams to build and evolve complex systems with built-in architectural coherence and token efficiency. It transforms developers into highly productive architects.
Defining the shift towards an open ecosystem, enterprise context and governance isn’t just for OutSystems agents – it’s a requirement for every agent operating in today’s business environment. With Agentic Systems Engineering and the Enterprise Context Graph, developers will be able to use any agentic tool to inspect, extend, and build on the OutSystems platform.
This enables teams to safely contribute to enterprise software development, whether building with Mentor, through the Studio IDE, or with agentic coding tools such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex or Cursor. Regardless of the environment, agents will operate within a shared enterprise context and guardrails that ensure secure, compliant, and production-ready systems. This provides enterprises with the flexibility of an open ecosystem with the operational confidence of a unified, governed architecture.
OutSystems expects to open an early access program to customers in the second quarter of 2026.
Kent State University plans to maximize IT productivity and speed-to-market by integrating OutSystems Mentor. By leveraging AI-driven analysis, KSU will enable developers to bypass manual codebase navigation, using Mentor to instantly interpret application logic while ensuring all automated actions adhere to strict security guardrails and governance.
valantic, a global IT services provider, is maximizing developer productivity and speed-to-market using OutSystems Mentor. By integrating Agentic Systems Engineering from day one, valantic enables teams to bypass the "blank slate" phase, using Mentor to instantly generate foundational structures for enterprise projects.
AllianceCorp Manufacturing (ACM) is exploring OutSystems Mentor as its core AI partner to drive innovation across the semiconductor and e-mobility sectors. A primary use case is using Mentor to extract specific data from 2D CAD drawings via an AI agent.
SRS Distribution, part of The Home Depot group, has accelerated its application development by up to 50% using OutSystems Mentor. The team can now deliver projects in weeks rather than months.
“With Mentor, we can build a front-end and initial business logic to show a stakeholder in just a few days, whereas before it would take us weeks,” said Mattheus Benitez, Technical Team Lead at SRS Distribution Inc. “That speeds up the overall development process tremendously.”
