Mendix 10.12 introduces Mendix AI Assistance (Maia), our groundbreaking generative AI-powered assistant that provides guidance, assistance, and generation for Mendix developers.

Guidance

Maia Chat (formerly Mendix Chat) is our generative AI-powered chatbot that provides immediate, detailed answers to your Mendix development questions.

Maia is accessible in Mendix Studio Pro with a single click and is specifically trained on our documentation, forums, and academy learning paths.

  • Contextually aware, Maia is capable of handling conversations by retaining context from previous questions and answers.
  • Users can view the source material from which the answer was derived.
  • Maia leverages markdowns for enhanced readability (bullet points, highlights, code snippets, etc.)

Maia Chat significantly boots the productivity and efficiency of Mendix Studio Pro. In fact, Maia Chat is so smart that it passed both the rapid and intermediate Mendix certification exams.

Assistance

Maia utilizes in-context recommenders to assist Mendix developers with real-time and context-driven options for the next, most relevant actions when building microflows, nanoflows, and workflows.

All of the Maia Recommenders point developers to the right next actions, which speeds up development and improves the developer experience.

Maia Best Practices Recommender

Automatically inspects application models for Mendix best practices, detects anti-patterns, and guides developers step-by-step to resolve issues.

Improves the quality of the application, performance, and security.

Maia Logic Recommender

Built with the ML analysis of over 12 million anonymized application logics, these recommenders use deep learning to provide real-time, context-driven recommendations and assist with the modeling and creation of application logic.

With a 95% accuracy rate, Maia’s real-time recommendations enable developers to build microflows and nanoflows up to 30% faster.

Maia Workflow Recommender

Similar to the Logic Recommender, but suggests applicable microflows or valid activities the workflow can jump to.

Generation

Maia brings generative AI-powered capabilities to Mendix Studio Pro, automating development tasks and generating application components to accelerate the development process and enhance consistency and quality. Maia’s capabilities are also on display in the Mendix Community forums.

Maia Translations Generator

Efficiently translate all texts in your application with one click from the batch translate window, ensuring no text is missed.

Maia in Community

Maia brings the power of genAI to the Mendix Community forum by summarizing lengthy forum discussions into key points, making it easier to find answers to your questions. Maia can even rewrite your questions and properly format it to be more likely to get answered.

 

Maia Domain Model Generator

The Domain Model Generator enables you to converse with Maia Chat to build a domain model.

For example, you can say to Maia, “I want to build a bike rental application. There will be bikes and customers. I will rent the bikes to the customers. Generate me a model.”

Then, Maia creates the entities for bikes and customers and an association between them.

Achieve AI-driven operational excellence

With Mendix, you can harness the power of AI to deliver solutions with human-like intelligence, insight, and awareness without having to be an expert in AI, ML or genAI.

Mendix is the only low-code platform with the AI/ML integration versatility of supporting both external AI services and embedded ML models, providing maximum flexibility.

Generative AI

Mendix makes it easy to use Large Language Models (LLMs) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) within your applications to add conversational experiences in a controlled manner.

GenAI Model Choice

Use the genAI model of your choice. Our OpenAI connector integrates with GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and DALL-E models to power the ChatGPT experience. And with our AWS Bedrock connectors, you can choose any foundation model, like Anthropic’s Claude 3, AWS’ Titan, Meta’s Llama 3, and Cohere’s Embed.

Chat-Based Interfaces

Our Conversational UI kit provides reusable components for creating chat-based interfaces by leveraging any supported LLM and integrating knowledge bases for more accurate responses.

Accurate Responses

Use Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to combine information retrieved from a knowledge base with a text generation model to provide more accurate and contextually relevant responses with our PgVector Knowledge Base module.

AI Bot Starter App

Jumpstart projects with our AI Bot Starter App for a head start building your own private ChatGPT-like solution. Compatible with Azure, OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, and the Blank GenAI Starter App, the starter application accelerates the process of creating your own custom genAI project.

Cognitive Services

Mendix easily connects to any third-party service to interact with hosted AI/ML models. Seamlessly integrate with ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Amazon Bedrock for generative AI. Or, use additional AI services from Google, Microsoft, AWS, Abbyy, etc.

Mendix makes it easier for teams to integrate AWS’ market-leading AI services, including:

  • Amazon Bedrock
  • Amazon SageMaker
  • Amazon Textract
  • Amazon Rekognition
  • Amazon Translate
  • Amazon Polly

Simply drag and drop them into your Mendix application to use them as part of your application, without the complexities of REST APIs or code.

Embedded AI models

Mendix is the first and only low-code platform to support the embedded integration of ML models.

The Mendix ML Kit aligns with the critical objectives of AI-minded enterprises, ensuring high performance, data privacy, and cost-effectiveness.

Enterprises use the ML Kit to deploy proprietary ML models directly into a Mendix application without the need for third-party services. To maximize AI interchangeability, models can be trained with various frameworks—TensorFlow, Caffe, PyTorch, etc.—and converted to the Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX), an open standard for machine learning models.

Choose from hundreds of free, open-source, and pre-trained ML models. Drag and drop them into your application, and start building smart applications with speed and ease.
