What are smart applications?

Smart apps (also called intelligent apps or i-apps) are advanced, enterprise-grade web and mobile applications augmented with AI, automation, and connected data. They are secure, reliable, and scalable and can easily integrate with your enterprise IT landscape.

With Mendix, smart apps take advantage of capabilities like workflows, web and native mobile, and connectivity. Create new content, make strategic decisions, summarize large amounts of data, and propel your applications to the highest level. Smart apps built with Mendix are designed to make users’ lives easier with personalized, high-quality experiences.

What makes an application smart?

  • Generative

    With abundant training data, smart apps can generate new, original content such as images, text, videos, and code, which helps businesses better prioritize resources.

  • Proactive

    Smart apps independently use data and predictive analytics to proactively alert users and provide smart recommendations for next actions.

  • Conversational

    Communicate easily, naturally, and intuitively, just like how we speak with other humans. Smart apps are multimodal and create structured experiences for faster interactions.

  • Intelligent

    Smart apps collect and analyze massive amounts of data to find trends, patterns, and discrepancies to help users make better decisions.

  • Contextual

    Using sensory and location data, smart apps provide responses based on where and what users are doing. They understand previous conversations to help fine-tune answers.

Elevate your applications with low-code

With Mendix’s low-code platform, businesses have the tools to quickly build innovative, intelligent applications that create unmatched customer and employee experiences.

Make better strategic decisions

Smart apps are continuously learning from data to help businesses make the most informed decisions possible.

With AI, smart apps can analyze large amounts of data to forecast trends and customer behavior, create reports, and provide detailed insights. These intelligent applications learn from interactions to improve autonomous responses over time.

Save and increase operational efficiency

Reduce labor costs, operational expenses, and waste. AI-powered smart apps can automate repetitive tasks (like data entry and customer service inquiries) and optimize processes to improve resource allocation and asset maintenance.

Using generative AI to create high-quality content can save time and resources while maintaining consistency. Smart apps can also analyze workflows to identify inefficiencies, enhancing productivity and freeing employees to focus on strategic activities.

Gain a competitive edge

Offer more personalized, unique products that meet your customer’s needs. Smart apps can drive product and service innovation by analyzing customer feedback to identify trends and areas for improvement.

AI also helps identify market gaps and suggest new product ideas based on emerging trends and customer needs.
